Just got waitlisted at Vanderbilt!

wowowow Stanford waitlist!!

uh i had pretty much accepted that i'd be shut-out, but i'm admitted at UCSD too...

I'm sure we'll have a postmortem/planning for next cycle thread sometime in the spring! It would be lovely to have some of you as teammates for next round if things don't work out this year.

i saw some advice a long time ago to let the calls go to voicemail intentionally so you’ll get a really lovely voicemail that you can listen to forever and ever, but especially when you’re feeling imposter syndrome. 

Going to bed anxiously hoping I hear something from one of my schools tomorrow so I can survive the weekend.  Even a cold rejection is better than this silence! 

I sure hope those UCs + Stanford get to work soon! The two I applied to are my top programs!
 

lol yes give us more

I wasn't accepted to UT, but it was my undergrad institution and I've been living in atx for about six years now. FWIW, I think a 17k+ stipend is really livable, if you're able to find a roommate or two. Studio apartments will run 900-1000+ per month here, but sharing a living space will probably set your rent in the 400-800/month range. Feel free to DM me if you have questions!

I argue in my sample that Spirited Away's narrative calls attention to the flexible metaphysics of the animated mise en scene by staging encounters with fantastical and transforming bodies. These encounters foreground both the cognitive processes and cultural presuppositions that undergird affective responses to the body—particularly disgust, which in philosophy/aesthetics has been a sly and unstable strategy to delimit what kinds of bodies are and are not "acceptable." I argue that Miyazaki's grotesque, intensely corporeal imagery is designed to elicit and subsequently undermine disgust, in line with Sianne Ngai's and Eugenie Brinkema's critiques of the affect as theoretically centerless, predicated on rejection and ultimately self-defeating. The film goes on to develop a more emotionally and dialectically positive intervention, constructing a pluralistic poetics of the body that highlights the redemptive potential of empathy and physical contact.
