This is a print of the introductory chapter of my research thesis translation as a methodology within the expanded field of painting onto translucent (tracing) paper. It is a draft copy with notes attached for my supervisors to read at the upcoming submission on 11 April. It is printed on a Canon Pixma printer.
I am at home preparing this draft. I have been reading about deixis all morning and my head is all over the place. I spent three hours deciding whether the first sentence needs to stay there, be deleted, be altered in the text body or footnotes, or moved to the next chapter. I decided that I needed to remove myself from it, just for a short time, so I sat on the floor, beside the printer and made something else.
I made the sentence pink to remind me to go back to it.
Green text needs to be moved.
My head can’t be literally all over the place. A metaphor, or figure of speech is a word or phrase that deviates from ordinary (verbal) language, it moves, in this case not just to one place but all over the place. Where does it go?
