Looking for essays....
I've just started work on my final essay for cultural studies. The question that I have chosen to answer is:
"Space is a construction and material manifestation of social relations that reveals cultural assumptions and practices." Critically discuss with reference to at least one of the following: class, gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, the body.
My plan is to dicuss 'cyberspace', in particular the Harry Potter fandom, and the way gender and sexuality are constructed and expressed in slash fanfiction. I'm interested in the fact that the vast majority of this fandom (its writers and readers) seem to be women (either heterosexual or homosexual), and wonder why male/male fiction is so popular.
I haven't done much critical reading yet, but I'm after any kind of essay written on slash, gender, sexuality, etc in the Harry Potter fandom, and anything else anyone might have read that they think could be relevant for me.
I'll love you all forever.
