Thus, although there was an implicit logic in the way the thesis was constructed, it was not spelt out. The role for the reader/examiner in making sense of such a thesis is a highly proactive one. You have to work harder and think harder than in the reading of a conventional thesis where the explicit connections are made for you. Indeed, in a conventional thesis, it is good advice to make such connections as explicit as possible in order to make the research process transparent to the reader, and to help them navigate through a long (sometimes up to 100000 words) text. The process of reading with this particular post-modernist text, however, was more inductive.
