DOC-IN-BOOTS: Fiction
http://docinboots.blogspot.com/p/fiction.html
My fairy tale, 'The Cat Swindle,' appears in the Warwick-Monash anthology, The Voyage: Journeys in Creative Writing. The following is an exercise in writing a one page short story. The child wanted a story. But the stories were all worn. They had holes in them. Great, gaping holes through which you could stick your foot if you really wanted to. 8220;So, there was a princess,” I began, gamely enough. 8220;Why was he called Charming? 8220;Because of alliteration,” I answered with false bravado. 8220;I thou...

Thursday, August 29, 2013. Why Study Fairy Tale? A friend on Facebook recently linked a New Yorker article, " Why Teach and Study English? I did like Adam Gopnik's observation, "The reason we need the humanities is because we’re human. That’s enough." But I had to stop myself reading the comments section. I don't think anyone is ever happy with the justification for English Lit. Sometimes reading these kinds of articles puts me in an uneasy mood for the rest of the day. Why do I teach it now? Sunday, Aug...

Thursday, February 21, 2013. Looking for the yellow brick road. Have you seen the trailers. For Oz: The Great and Powerful. Some trailers look incredible, others look a little. worrisome. Nonetheless, I'm pleased to see people will travel by bubble. I feel that's important. Or maybe I just wish I. Could travel by bubble. That's probably it. A couple of colleagues and I have lately been talking about all things Oz. Michelle Smith writes an excellent post on the topic here. The problem I have with a lot of...

DOC-IN-BOOTS: November 2012
http://docinboots.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Let the gender games continue. I spent Monday and Tuesday at The Gender Games. In Melbourne. No one died, though we had a good go at patriarchy! The coffee was good, too. I'm still thinking about gender and I'm still engaged in my favourite topic - pink. This morning, a friend tweeted this boing boing. 2 The inference is that the girls' laptop being pink is part of its 'crappiness' (I admit, it's an awful shade of pink and the design could be better - the iBooks. I'm also in...

Sunday, March 24, 2013. Lately, I've been 'winging' lectures and papers. This isn't to say that I don't plan - it's just that I've gone 'off page.' However, now and then, I still do write up a speech, especially when I'm asked for a copy. So in this case, I can share with you the speech I gave at the opening of the 'In Fairy Land' exhibition. WHY PRINT FAIRY TALES MATTER. There will be later tales from a glamorous French past, where witty women met in salons and composed outrageous stories of perfectly b...

Friday, June 14, 2013. Don't Be Afraid of the Stacks. Today I popped into the library to pick up a couple of books. I came out with six. Spending time among the stacks is never a bad thing. Among the books that caught my eye, The Culture Sewing: Gender Consumption and Home Dressmaking. Which I'd had on my book list. My point is, sometimes research is simply about spending time in the library, roaming the shelves and seeing what pops. I somehow don't think I'll be returning it. Sunday, June 9, 2013. Dr Re...

Tuesday, December 18, 2012. All I Want For Christmas. Being a scholar in English Lit., I need books, of course? I'm especially eager to read Fairy Tale Queens. There's a chapter, "The Queen's Wardrobe: Dressing the Part," which could have been written especially for me! Although I'm also intrigued by "The Fairest of Them All: Queenship and Beauty." Every chapter looks fascinating and I have high hopes. Yesterday I was thrilled to discover a collection of essays. Once of my all time favourite films! Dr Re...
