apple_pathwaysI present you with homework!
Since so many of you expressed interest in researching slash fiction as a sociological phenomenon, I present you here with a reading list of sources I found online. Unfortunately, I can't use any of them for my assignment, because they don't come from academic, peer-reviewed journals, but they all seem very interesting.
I found all of these articles through Google scholar, and I would point anyone interested in researching further in that direction. (You will have to pay for certain articles, but all of those I've listed below are accessible for free.)
I haven't read any of them yet, because I am supposedly working on my actual research assignment.
So, here we go:
Queering cyberspace : fan fiction communities as Ssaces for expressing and exploring sexuality: this is a PDF file of a book chapter.
Inventing a universe: Reading and writing internet fan fiction : a link to a graduate dissertation. On fanfiction. Yep.
Slashing Harry Potter: a special present for all the Potter fans on my flist to make up for me dissing it. Don't let the fact that the abstract is in German dissuade you; once you click on the PDF file, the article is in English.
And finally:
Queering Popular Culture: Female Spectators and the Appeal of Writing Slash Fan Fiction: this one took a bit of sleuthing to track down. I'd seen it cited on several other works, but it took me forever to find it. My gift to you! I can't wait to read it, this is exactly the sort of research I was looking for.
Enjoy, my nerdy little slash friends!

No, not really, but some kids are helped greatly by a well-monitored drug therapy program.

Date: 2010-10-05 05:52 pm (UTC)Yeah, I think that there are kids that definitely benefit from medication and it helps them focus on school and other activities. On the other hand, I think that there were way too many teachers and psychiatrists that were quick to diagnose ADD and ADHD. It'll be an extremely interesting paper, that's for sure. LOL.
