I'm Sarena. I am from Toronto, Ontario, and I am currently completing an Honours BA in Communication Studies and Film Studies at WLU. In the future I would like to work in the publishing industry. I am determined to continue to embrace my love for reading and writing beyond my years as a student, which are somehow already coming to an end. When I am not reading, writing, drawing, or watching movies, you can find me rummaging through used book stores and video stores for hidden treasures.I love to follow litblogs and find out what others are reading. I also enjoy browsing film reviews and checking out the latest film trailers. I plan to use this blog as a space where I can write about books, essays, graphic novels, reviews, and poetry that I am reading, as well as films that I am watching. I will also use this space to share my own writing projects.
In addition to my own personal writing, I would like to utilize this blog to organize and share some of my recent academic writing. When given the opportunity, I try to write about areas of Communication Studies and/or Film Studies that genuinely interest me. You will notice that I am very interested in animation, adaptation, authorship and auteurism, independent filmmaking, graphic novels, and intertextuality. I often attempt to develop new theories or conceptualizations, rather than merely arguing that the existing theory is accurate, adequate, and complete. There is always room for reflection, and there is always something more to be said.
Please feel free to comment/offer feedback. I would love to hear what you think! You can also find me on twitter or reach me through email at sa_re_na@hotmail.com
