# Cuducos's PhD writings
I have completed my PhD in sociology at the [University of Essex](https://www.essex.ac.uk/) and my research focus was the political side of digital culture, having crowd funding as my case study.
Here I share [my thesis](https://cuducos.me/crowd-funding) as well as [working papers, drafts etc.](RESOURCES.md) Feel free to read, comment, criticize, get in touch and so on.
Just in case: Yes, I'm geek enough to prefer a markdown language rather than a word processor; Git rather than word processors' comments and tracking tools.
As you probably have discovered by yourself, I'm not a native English speaker. I'm really sorry for all the small crimes I commit with your beloved language. I'd be really glad if you point them out.
If this introduction is not enough [start stalking me](http://cuducos.me).
## Installing dependencies
The following commands and scripts depend on the following binaries available in your path: `gem`, `asciidoctor`, `python` (version 3.4+), `prince` and `pandoc`.
Once you have installed these packages, you can automatically install some dependencies:
```console
$ make init
```
## Generating human friendly versions
### HTML, PDF and Word versions
A script helps you generating nice HTML, PDF and Word versions of the files. Use `pipenv shell` to activate the environment and run:
```console
$ python render.py
```
Example:
```console
$ python render.py conferences/cd2015.adoc
```
While you are working you can watch for changes and the files will be generated automatically:
```console
$ python render.py
```
There is also a shortcut to clean all the auto-generated files:
```console
$ make clean
```
### E-book
The thesis is prepared to be published as an ebook:
```console
$ cd thesis
$ asciidoctor-epub3 ebook.adoc
>>>>>>> thesis
```
Since Amazon's `kindlegen` seams to be broken (it throws a `Bad CPU type in executable` error in macOS), the Kindle version was created from the `.epub` using [Kindle Previwer 3](https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1003018611).
## Credits
This research is possible due to the scholarship offered by [CAPES](http://capes.gov.br/), a government agency linked to the [Brazilian Ministry of Education](http://mec.gov.br).
