Sorry. There is no free pass!"<BR/><BR/>This is exactly the dynamic of certain parts of the cultural appropriation discussion, I thought I'd note.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15270008.post-1151249933097880692006-06-25T08:38:00.000-07:002006-06-25T08:38:00.000-07:00Dave, now I'm picturing a lurid B movie poster wit...Dave, now I'm picturing a lurid B movie poster with blogging feminists coming at you like mutant sharks.

This piece is wonderful enough to pull me out of lurking--you connect such great thoughts on gender issues, communication issues, internet issues, majority/minority (based on any aspect of identity) issues--and the ideas on communication and activism apply to some of what goes on in fandom (my main area of internet activity) as well though you don't foreground that here (no reason to, of course--I gather Bloggercon was about the issue of public/media kind of blogging?)? <BR/><BR/>A number of us in the LJ community who are aca-fans (work in academia as well as being fans, and do scholarship on fandom) are interestd in the gendered ways in which the media and many people construct "blogs" vs. LJ (journal) styles of writing.

Que nuestros cuerpos no son apropiables, que se expanden por los márgenes, que escupen al capital y se rebelan contra la marcas, se vuelven impostura. Se devuelve el sentido de una política queer; más que nunca, el día del orgullo es un orgullo politizado, es <BR/>un orgullo de lo que podemos ser, no de lo que se da por hecho que somos. <BR/>Y nadie sabe lo que puede un cuerpo.<BR/><BR/>Las feministas, descocadas, las fieras corrupias, las ciborgs, las <BR/>histéricas, las camioneras, las frígidas y las salidas, las de tacones quebrados y las desclazas asaltando el supermercado, la tienda de artículos del mundo, rechazamos el jardín privatizado y la ceremonia de boda como nuestro sueño más querido.<BR/><BR/>Y queremos celebrarlo: mujeres, feministas, transexuales, bolleras, degeneradas, redichas, innombrabbles, maricas, osos, y torcidos y retorcidos en general.<BR/><BR/>Gran fiesta en la sala Caracol, Sábado, día 1 de Julio desde las 24h hasta que la noche aguante.
