Thesis statement

April 20, 2008 by Peter Fletcher

Here’s thesis statement v2.01.

Analyse the potential effects on the subjectivity of employees in an employment relationship arising from their publishing of work-related personal blogs?

Is it focussed enough? Does it make sense?

    I’m writing a work related personal blog – you left a comment on it (you might even win a prize for that – seriously!)

    Reading your thesis statement makes me glad I’m not writing with a lecturer over my shoulder (I think that genre also stifles a little subjectivity).

    I’ll try to be more productive with my comment…

    Can you turn it into a question?

    i.e.

    Are work-related personal blogs subjective?

    Well I’m sure looking forward to the possible prize. Writing knowing that something is under the micro-scope sure makes things that much more difficult. In terms of the question I’ll have to sleep on it. My first response would be “what if they are?”. What would flow from them being subjective? Hmmm. Thanks for your comment.

    Yeah, sorry about the sense of scrutiny – the intention was not meant to be threatening but with 1 comment since a 10k list got word on this competition, it appears it looks that way.

    That’s an interesting phenomena in itself.

    On your thesis, I think its a great idea and am very interested in what you write. I’m just a little anti-establishment (part of the appeal of Foucault for me) and the inaccessible nature of academic writing smells of that knowledge-power dynamic (mind you Foucault seems not too concerned with accessible writing).

    You might of heard of Bourdieu, he was sort of Foucault’s nemesis (like Lex Luther). He believed things like the obscurity of modern art (decoded only by those in the know) exists as badges of honour or as he calls it “marks of class”. Its not unlike Foucault’s exclusivity of knowledge helps retain social / power structures.

    I’ve had to retrain the way I write – after years of academia, so I prefer to simplfy things.

    But maybe I got your statement wrong. I figured you want to know if an employee’s blog content is influenced by the employee / boss power relationship.

    So I put this in the most straight forward way I could. That was my thinking behind it anyway.

    And thanks for you comments. I replied to it.
