“A thesis represents a choice. Because it is a decision that leads us to channel our efforts into a research problem; it summarizes our academic career and projects the field of work that we have chosen for the future. (…) A thesis offers us the possibility of sketching our future strategy. (…) A thesis (…) is the possibility of closing one chapter and beginning another by recovering a certain way of understanding.”
