What's wrong with "ecofeminist" stuff?(why does it float?)
Bookchin sounds interesting- perhaps more people could post their current
reading lists as part of these discussions on the various threads. There's
too much out there to read; Sometimes the references to authors on this
list go past me.
Personally, I'm ploughing through linda Nochlin's "Gericault, or the
absence of women" and Lacan's "The mirror-I..." essays, in order to write
about the 19th century painter and homo-equine fetishist, Theodore
Gericault.
