Allure of the Unreconstructed Stereotype (WisCon 31 panel)

Feminism, Sex, and Gender•Senate A• Sunday, 10:00-11:15 a.m.

Addicted to 1950s boys' own whizbang novels? Reading particularly hidebound comics? Absorbed in a monogender TV show? Really really want your own laser gun? Where does ironic play end and wholesale purchase into the dominant paradigm begin? And how come that paradigm tastes so good sometimes? Let's interrogate the phrase, "I don't want to do you; I want to be you" and see where the gender-play leads.

M: Graham Sleight, Jane Acheson, Eileen Gunn, Anne Harris, Karen Elizabeth Healey
