Thesis Title: Subversive Sovereignty: The National Humour of Micropatrias Enclaved by the United Kingdom

About

My research engages with micropatrial digital and material representation by enclaves within the United Kingdom.  I am investigating what these acts of subversive sovereignty achieve, how the power of humour is an intricate element of these nations, and where these liminal entities reside in the international community.  Part of this will be accomplished through examining the national culture of each case study as well as becoming part of this community through the creation and maintenance of my own nation.  Visit the International Embassy of the Nation of Heliotrope at http://www.nationofheliotrope.com/ to see an aspect of this work.
