So, today's the day! I think it's shaping up quite well ... the final run-through should give us an idea of where the strengths/weaknesses in the presentation lie with time to add tweaks where necessary.
On the whole, I feel that the social comment aspect of the presentation will be the thing that defines it...with us both being predominantly history students I think it's unavoidable really!
However, the Jack The Ripper as a metaphor for/indicator of the way in which modern society can exercise moral distance from unspeakable acts or behaviour screams out from the page to me and I personally don't think it's possible to comment on the case - whether it's the mythology of it or the reality of it - without making mention of that point. I just hope that concentrating on the social implications of the case will be a strong enough topic for the bigger picture of the presentation. I know we're pretty sure that we've covered the right ground, I just hope the audience sees it that way too!
