Selina D is on page 43 of Matisse in the Cone Collection: The Poetics of Vision
Learning about the Cone family is neat. I love Matisse’s sculptures and his early work, The convalescent woman. Holy smokes. That’s a knock out.

I’m into matisse’s sculptures. I’m absolutely in love with one of his early paintings, the convalescent woman. Holy smokes. It’s amazing.

Selina D is starting Girlhood: Exploring ā€œThe Girlā€ in Art (Look Again)
I believe girls take pleasure in watching The Virgin Suicides for its beautiful images, but also because they are beginning to intuit that to come of age is to be surveilled, and to descend a staircase that seems to go on without endā€-p.31


Outstanding !!!!

Selina D is on page 102 of 165 of A Defense of Masochism
I haven’t read many books on gender studies and sexuality. Her writing style feels like a friendly introduction for me. Philip’s references movies like ā€œA Touch of Evilā€ and ā€œSliver,ā€ interesting to mix film studies with gender studies. Sometimes the writing is clunky and I’m not sure what she’s getting at but overall some interesting points are raised every now and again.

Selina D is on page 33 of 165 of A Defense of Masochism
ā€œMasochism is not just something morbid, not just an expression of death drive, but a mixture of two opposing wishes, for life and for death, for the gratification of pleasure and the desire to engage with the downside-for example, the need to repeat unpleasant experiences.ā€p.32

Selina D is 80% done with I Am More Than My Body: The Body Neutral Journey
Overall it was a pretty good intro to body neutrality. Really enjoying the last chapter on movement.
