Why choose this project topic?
This topic turns comic literature into a focused reading task by investigating the relationship between naming practices and social rank in literary comedy. A clearly bounded corpus gives you passages to compare and an argument to develop beyond a general plot summary.
What does a close analysis of two published Nigerian comic plays and their character lists reveal about the relationship between naming practices and social rank in literary comedy?
Agree the corpus size, editions and critical framework for this study of the relationship between naming practices and social rank in literary comedy with your supervisor.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define the textual features relevant to the relationship between naming practices and social rank in literary comedy.
- 02Build a documented evidence set from two published Nigerian comic plays and their character lists.
- 03Track titles, nicknames and renaming in dialogue, then relate changes to reversals of authority.
A suggested research approach
Obtain lawful access to two published Nigerian comic plays and their character lists. Track titles, nicknames and renaming in dialogue, then relate changes to reversals of authority. Establish selection criteria before detailed reading, record edition and page references, and test the developing interpretation against passages that complicate it.
What you will need
- Lawful access to two published Nigerian comic plays and their character lists
- A reading matrix for the relationship between naming practices and social rank in literary comedy
- Relevant scholarly criticism and a consistent citation system
Keep your project scope clear
Names in a script should not be presented as demographic evidence about real naming customs.
