Writing

[world_dancer]

Well, I'm actually sitting down and working on paper/book analysis of modern Gothic and what it means as it pertains to its female writers and readers. If I actually ever get it together and get it published, I'd be inclined to look at the male side of things as a follow up. Less is written about men and the construction of male identity than is

I have a book for you on construction of masculine identity. "Self Made Man" is by a lesbian who dressed as a man for a year to find out how male society really worked. Lots of good stuff there.

I may steal that later. Right now I must focus on the current project. Though I do still definitely want a look at the chapters in that book on Eunichs about altered men being more desirable sex partners in women's eyes. It does explain much.

At the moment I'm all happy I found a book called "Killing Monsters" which is about fantasy violence and its good aspects. I'm hoping I can use that to explain how going through a period of writing women participating in extreme fantasy violence is good. Everything else I have is feminist perspective, this is simply a study of fantasy violence and its positive effects.

Oh, and I have a book I picked up for you. Again more modern Arab writings, this one on Arab/Muslim feminism. Sorry, I don't run across much medieval stuff in my explorations.
