About a cultural study in bi-racial lesbian porn?
Or perhaps a study into this much rumored new relationship between Jenna Jameson and Britney Spears. This could include ethnographies on the economically delineated subcultures of pop music and the adult industry, and what these two groups may want from each other in terms of hip-cache, respectability, etc... But I guess this would involve lesbian porn, as well... Ah well, it?s a hard subject to avoid?

I recently wrote a 4000 word paper on the evolution of the israeli - Palestinian conflict, if you have any questions, PM me.
One topic that is particularly applicable, given the above criteria, is a comparison between Israel's occupation of Palestine and the Apartheid of south africa. You wouldn't beleive the parallels that exist!!
If you really felt like being radical you could draw comparisons between the State of Israel and the Nazis.

I can actually attest to the quality of SF's paper and his wealth of knowledge on this subject, well done my friend, very informative! Edward Said would be very proud!

Perhaps you could do a cross-cultural survey of gender image subversion in the history of lesbian themes in art and literature from Sapho through Madonna.
Perhaps a you could perform a poststructural breakdown a la Foucault. Starting off by analyzing simile and metaphor as indexical signifiers denoting sexual power as representative of the classic dualistic extensions of polar extremes in the traditional penetration relationship. You could go on to demonstrate how this traditional symbolism supported the gender-based economic status quo of the society in question, and how subversion of this traditional symbolic relationship was met with harsh penalties depending on the time and culture.
But that would be getting into more lesbian porn?
I had a classic lesbian pic from the early twentieth century, but they won?t let me upload things for some reason. It was a clean pic too, but I think I?m being punished, or maybe I?m just being paranoid? Wait, who said that?

I caught that.
Foucault? Shirley you jest! Yeah, him and Derrida are my all time favs.
Give up postmodernism before it's too late.
Back to the basics, Aristotle, Plato, Eisenhower, Nixon. You know, the good old boys.

I had to wrestle with poststructuralism when I was heavy into critical art theory as an art student. I'm sort of a Modernist at heart, but I had to know my enemies. Also it's hard to be a Modernist, in these troubled times of Postmoderism, without feeling like an anachronism or worse, a reactionary. It' something I'm still wrestling with, but just not as hard anymore. As that late existentialist philosopher Popeye the Sailor once said: "I am what I am, and that's all that I am."
One of my oldest and best childhood friends studied philosophy at UC Berkeley, and studied under John Searl, so I got to read the transcripts of that famous debate between John Serl and Jaques Derrida, and what I found was that Derrida was the ultimate anarchist prankster, who would simply retreat into the ether whenever he was cornered?

"late existentialist philosopher Popeye the Sailor"
The only part of axiology of interest to me is ethics. There seems to be a confusion about the term "Postmodern" since it can apply equally to erroneous ideas like the pair you mentioned OR something that has to do with Art.
Reading those transcripts was a RARE gift! Wow, I am very impressed with Searl.
Hey, how come you don't hang at the S&P&S forum once in a while? I'm a Mod over there and I can get you a backstage pass at some of the debates.
Pretty soon we are going to be reviewing the ideas of Leibnitz and Democritus over the proper term for the major atomic particle. As you are probably aware Democritus called them "atoms" while Leibnitz called them "monads". Surely you won't want to miss this discussion. I'm sure it will be a real knee-slapper.

I probably should, but you may have noticed that I don't often get very serious about anything. I've been on sort of a vaction from life these past two years, but I'll pop in and look around one of these days...
