Fashioning the Body: Versions of the Citizen, the Self, and the Subject

I am a pretty chill, motivated and disciplined person working on discovering the deeper relationship between people and culture as it relates to images, sound and popular culture with an emphasis on blues and jazz because they are the basis of contemporary forms of music. So looking at this from a historical point of view is key. I have a great deal of experience in research. Gathering infromation is an essential part of this project so I'm looking for someone open to new ways of researching. Of course there are the typical trips to the library and whatnot but I'm looking more towards going out into the world and experiencing it as I learn more about it.
