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.

Awww, there's nowhere you could use Adobe Acrobat?

You know, I could also print it off and mail it to you, if you'd like. :)

Well thank you, that's sweet of you.

Just email me (foxxcub@livejournal.com) your address and I'll send it off. ;)

Nope. This computer's retarded. *cries*

Butting in, but I understood Foxxcub was proposing to send you the article by snail mail.

It's the only way, with your awful computer. I would do it, from across
the pond, if there's no one nearer to do it.

Yes, I see that now. LJ hadn't sent me that second message (or Yahoo didn't deliver it).
