I\u2019ve been struggling to balance my time between studying full time and working full time in all honesty. But I like writing these blog posts. It allows me to sit and reflect on the work I\u2019ve been doing for this class so far, and it\u2019s giving me a space to write down all my thoughts and ideas for this long project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m extremely excited to talk about Bruce Lee, an idol for me and my family. However, analysing his transnational\/global reach makes it difficult to me as I can\u2019t turn this essay into a film analysis or a narrative about how awesome he is. Finding the theory to analyse Bruce Lee is difficult, do I look at him through a transnational or global lens? How do I make this historical analysis in the context of theories? I don\u2019t want to vomit a bunch of theories onto my paper, I think selecting one theory would be good and analysing it through that lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my structure, I would talk about the connectivity between the East and West through Bruce Lee in a cold war context. However, do I call that transnational or global? Especially if I talk about other countries like India (Bollywood cinema) or Japan (Japanese Cinema).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, this seems like a fun and exciting project. BUT I definitely need to research more because I\u2019m just waffling at this point. I think I need to take a page out of Hannah\u2019s book and make a mind map \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Halfway through the minimum amount of blog posts I mean, not for the semester, which is going by unusually fast in my opinion.
