I'm collecting my thoughts for a response, actually, but as you can see from this unfinished "part 1" I occasionally tend to let ideas run into the sand. <BR/><BR/>I've written quite a bit on various bits of hierarchy, though mostly class/race/global hierarchies rather than gender ones (though I'm working on that, recently I've tried to write more feminist texts, like "Little Girl Blues" in August). I'm trying to think of what could interest you, but ones I'm fairly proud of in this vein include posts like "Almost" (July), "Hate Thy Neighbour" (May), "Race and the Novelty Song" (April), "Does Your Assigned Stereotype..." (March) and "The Problematic Issue of the White Audience" (January).Birdseedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01161105277182690887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146962885201070339.post-72313261314290668002008-09-08T14:50:00.000+02:002008-09-08T14:50:00.000+02:00Wow!

This is a really interesting post-- not just for your thoughts on terminology, but you touch an the cultural hierarchy that restages itself in the postwar boom with the rise of rock 'n' roll/pop on a mass scale (especially with the new importance of the image with television), and the later backlash in "counterculture", which I would argue codified the pop/rock gender dichotomy. <BR/><BR/>Do you write about cultural hierarchy elsewhere (19th c, or 20th)? I'd like to know your thoughts.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045346955442377009noreply@blogger.com
