Ainda o Gender
No blogue Brothersjudd faz-se eco de uma visão à Gender e, por isso mesmo, redutora do Harry Potter. Não, não é centrada no feminismo; é-o, sim, na homossexualidade (do Harry Potter, imagine-se):
Michael Bronski, in the Boston Phoenix, connected the basic themes and language of Harry Potter to gay identity politics. He didn't argue that the fictional figure of Harry Potter is gay (though that's how the press played his remarkably nuanced argument), but that to present Harry as different, to express the complex dynamic of secrecy that separates the world of magic and the everyday world, Rowling couldn't avoid explicitly homosexual-laden words and themes.
E eu a pensar que o Gender (já) tinha os dias contados.
