dryadgrlI got a message from Fatlandia today with a list of books about bodies. Some of these I need to read, so I'm keeping them here. Funny that these went into the welfare stuff. Love it!
Dawn Atkins edited book called Looking Queer;
Rosemarie Garland-Thomson's Staring: How we look; Lois Keith edited collection "What happened to you?": Writing by Disabled women;
bell hooks' Black looks: Race & representation;
Joshua Gamson's Freaks Talk Back;
a bunch of the essays in the Brownworth & Raffo edited Restricted Access: Lesbians on disability (and you'll recognize a bunch of the authors in there, for sure);
Julia Serano's Whipping Girl;
Dorothy Allison's Trash;
the two This Bridge books;
Anzaldua's Making face making soul: Haciendo caras;
most of the Emi Koyama ouevre (make sure the women's studies class knows to pay her for her work); Thea Hillman's book;
some of Mattilda's anthologies;
the embodimentusa wordpress website for gorgeous photos of queers;
Bodies out of bounds;
Eli Clare's Gaping Gawping Staring essay;
the "On stareable bodies" post on fatheffalump's wordpress site;
Bill Shannon's theory and performance art on his old site and on his whatiswhat.com site;
Kevin Connolly's photo project at therollingexhibition.com;
there's a post or two on the old The Rotund that explicitly address fat bodies as public property;
a lot of posts on Monica Roberts' transgriot.com;
Vivyan Adairs' From Good Ma to Welfare Queen;
and even though it doesn't address the issue directly, I sort of think it's worth listing Theresa Funiciello's Tyranny of kindness: Dismantling the welfare system to end poverty in America.
