What is the Heroine’s Journey? (part XIII)
Posted on
Before we go on to discussion of my favorite heroine, here’s an example of a heroine where I wasn’t terribly impressed with the story’s sexual tension, although to be fair I’d have to say it was likely quite true to life for some women.

Wisdom Sits in Places: Landscape and Language Among the Western Apache A sense of history is given by the Apache location stories.

Well, botheration. I’ve done the math, checked my reading speed, and rechecked the math… and it appears I’m going to have to fudge somewhat on the reading for this semester’s Ecofeminism Comps essay — and next semester’s work as well.

Closely examining our matrifocal past and present offers a solid basis from which to theorize a possible healthier future — one not damagingly based in androcentrism. Such a future will not come about on its own, of course; if women are to regain their rightful positions as cultural creators and leaders then they will have…
“Third World” Women & Politics (7 of 11)

Thus the current fundamentalist and nationalist mythologies insidiously create and define themselves in an essentialist fashion because they are needed in order to define boundaries and categories, to oppositionally create classes and hierarchies based on power through repression. Unfortunately these politicized religions frequently maintain much the same hegemonic thought patterns, albeit with different dominant players,…
LOL! and they were both great fun, Lou! :)
She did it, too! (Both the 50 new things *and* the happyColliedance!)
Thank you so much, Bob & Rick! Why save any for next year, though, when they’re such a delightful renewable resource? Also: thank goodness we didn’t have to eat the minstrels! :)
And there was much rejoicing!!!!
Congrats!
Hm. Maybe you should save some for next year? Nyahhhh…
