Excerpt from "Maximum Insecurity: Genre Trouble and Closet Erotics in and out of HBO's Oz" by Joe Wlodarz (as published in the Duke University magazine Camera Obscura):

What in fact makes Oz so deliciously compelling (and steamy) is the way it consistenly thwarts clear, coherent, and unambiguous expressions of gay desire and identification in favor of a more enticing erotic uncertainty. For it is indeed the combination of hypermasculinity and feminization, the displays and conflicts of manhood, affective excess, and sexual ambiguity that make the series so irresistable to its fans--especially to women and gay male fans--and that, accordingly, establish the program as such as an intriguing example of and source of slash fiction.

It's sad how much that paragraph alone makes me flail in fangirl bliss. GodDAMN, I love this show.

I am such a nerd.

Fuckin' A. I mean, just... YES.

Hey, where can I read the rest of that?

(and I have to use this icon, because I called it "oh hungry? o'reily" and am infinitely amused at myself)

If you wanna send me your email, I'll attach the Adobe copy that was sent to me by luci_2. There's almost 50 pages and I'm only halfway through (yes, I'm reading it at work, wot of it?), but ZOMG, it's all the meta a fangirl could ever want in this world.

Poor Ryan. He needs a donut.

Could I possibly bother you for the meta? I wanted to write about "Oz" for my homosociality essay in my Gender and Sexuality in Film class but the lecturer wouldn't let me as he hadn't seen it, WOEEEEE!
