The first great works of digital literature are already being written

Video games could be the greatest storytelling medium of our age – if only the worlds of art and technology would stop arguing and take notice

Celtic legends makes wonderful bedtime fairytales. Ireland’s myths and legends are some of the most exciting and enduring. So, what’s the story with Ireland’s myths and legends?

“Storytelling is still a very important pastime in many parts of Northern Ireland, and before the invention of television and cinema, it was even more common. Storytelling lets people explore and establish boundaries for a complex range of relationships between individuals and with the environment. Supernatural lore, especially that relating to the fairies of ‘wee folk’ often formed an important element through which several dimensions of these relationship could be expressed.”

I’M IN THE MIDST OF WRITING A BOOK WHERE HAS THIS POST BEEN ALL MY LIFE

Stories of sleeping princesses, ice palaces and witches in woods may be supplanted by storytelling, real and fantastic, on the web. But, argues AS Byatt, the lure of the fairy tale is as strong as ever

Byatt, A. S. (2004) Happily Ever After. The Guardian, 3 January. Available from [http://www.theguardian.com/books/2004/jan/03/sciencefictionfantasyandhorror.fiction] [Accessed 28 July 2015].

(Byatt, 2004)

A.S. Byatt. - 

“It is very odd - when you come to think of it - that human beings in all sorts of societies, ancient and modern, have needed these untrue stories. It is much odder than the need for religious stories (myths) or semi-historical stories (legends) or history, national or personal. Even as a little girl I perceived its oddity. These "flat" stories appear to be there because stories are a pervasive and perpetual human characteristic, like language, like play.” “It can also be argued that myth is related to the human need to know what was before, and what will be after the individual life, the living society. Myths are concerned with origins, the fear of death, and the hope for the overcoming of death in another world. The universe of Asgard and Valhalla, of Olympus and Hades, is not the fairy-tale unreal world with its visiting suns and moons, castles and undifferentiated forests. We don't put it together in our imaginations in the same way. There is neither explanation nor teaching in the true wonder tale.”

To my small but still unexpected following:

Hello - in keeping with the name and reason this blog exists, i am doing my degree and will be entering the last year of it. I’ve worked out that having most of my internet sources for my essays on a tumblr blog is really helpful for me.

For my dissertation, I’ll be kind of looking at The Storytelling of Celtic Mythology - which is very different from what you have been used to with mainly things to do with riot grrrl and recent waves of feminism. If you go back far enough - it was closer to what I’m doing now i.e. visual narratives.

It’ll still be interesting (to me anyway). I don’t care for the follower count - lol rude - but you might find some of it weirdly interesting. Maybe I’ll look at the representation of women in modern adaptations of Celtic stories, who knows. Actually, yeah I wanna do that.

(I’m still gonna keep the Kathleen Hanna avatar tho bc I love her)

Hemingway is a writing checker that is absolutely brilliant.

checks all spellings for you

checks if you’re over-using adverbs

picks out over-complicated sentences

suggests replacements for over-complicated phrases

picks out the passive voice

tells you how readable your text is (Grades/College level/etc)

calculates reading time

USE IT. USE IT FOR YOUR FANFICS. USE IT FOR YOUR PAPERS. IT WILL SAVE. YOUR. LIFE.

Gender in the Music Industry

Leonard addresses core issues relating to gender, rock and the music industry through a case study of 'female-centred' bands from the UK and US performing so called 'indie rock' from the 1990s to the present day. Using original interview material with both amateur and internationally renowned musicians, the book further addresses the fact that the voices of musicians have often been absent from music industry studies. Leonard's central aim is to progress from feminist scholarship that has documented and explored the experience of female musicians, to presenting an analytic discussion of gender and the music industry. In this way, the book engages directly with a number of under-researched areas: the impact of gender on the everyday life of performing musicians; gendered attitudes in music journalism, promotion and production; the responses and strategies developed by female performers; the feminist network riot grrrl and the succession of international festivals it inspired under the name of Ladyfest.
