In no particular order.
I wrote this four years ago. The struggle remains the same, so yes, publish. And god, I so want to be over this dilemma. 2016. Yesterday I was proofreading my manuscript at home when the Little Big Boss came over crying. I had to put my pen down and console her. She didn't want to leave my lap so we compromised. We put her play doh on the table and I tried to work while she played. It went smoothly -- for about five minutes! Haha! The Artist in Residence is familiar with this scene. Starting when she was eight years old, she had to come along with me to academic conferences. She'd stay in her chair reading, or drawing and writing in her notebooks. People praised her and commented on how she was remarkably well-behaved. I had no idea just how remarkable her ability to sit still and focus was, until the Little Big Boss came along.

A question for you (and only based on my own impression): Why do you feel you need to write your dis when you seem to think that its just going to end up in the stockroom down the very last basement of dissertation hell forever lost in oblivion? I think your theories are sound and the proposals are worth something especially in human fields of existence, identity, symbolism, knowledge and consciousness. I wouldn't worry so much about how you think you write this academic project because I see that your samples were written with simplicity and clarity at the helm. It is easily engaging because you used very little jargon (to me anyway).
