Popular Literatures,
like fairy tales & their modern counterparts, comic books,
can be appropriate repositories for certain archetypal projections,
such as those which are used to construct gender role stereotypes.

The issue becomes problematic
when we consider that these projections
can then inform, if not completely determine,
our own personal construction of gender identities.

The New Lysurgens

Do you enjoy mystery?
check it before the Man shuts it down:

There are new adventures in narrative
that challenge our notions of authorship,
Rhine Wine, the legacy of Disco
and the primacy of language over images.

Where will it all end?
And can we even imagine an ending point,
if we have no idea where the hell we are now?

These, and so many more questions,
keep the greatest minds of my generation
up at night when they aren't wondering
"where the hell are the rolling papers?"
eh, use the corner of the map,
it's practically useless anyhow...

Enjoying Cultural Imperialism

What an artifact.
Surf-music motifs slip into traditional Japanese structures
bathed in delicious spring reverb.
The Spacemen:

in order to have the perspective that makes this masterpiece possible
A subtle mind-melter.
I found it & wanted to share.
