Romance CAN do almost any fucking thing. Having a romance plot does not mean a book isn't full of other details, other enquiries. There is no other genre that cares so much and so deeply about human relationships in all their forms.

I get pretty fucking sick of people assuming romance readers are stupid to be honest. As someone who works on the history of romance, who teaches romance, there is always so much going on. Reflections of and on contemporary society, questions about love and relationships, about gender...

Acknowledge that people are interested not in reading the same thing over and over again, but in exploring one thing from an almost infinity of approaches an angles. Of exploring different facets of the thing itself. Of making a familiar thing new, of using to explore different ideas or realities.

And each trope, can we be rethought, refigured, played out in a thousand different ways, which questions, challenges, reinforces ideas previously explored. You can have more complex conversations precisely because you're entering a pre-existing discussion.

Engaging with an existing trope or plot pattern, isn't about simplicity or robot formulas. It's rather about an acknowledgement of the history of your field, a constant intertextual conversation with (or against) the meanings that have built up around certain tropes.

In other words, these are existing forms that you engage with and use, but this is not an act of plagiarism or repetition. Instead, through iteration (repetition) and variation, these 'strong forms' 'accumulate connotations' across the genre. They become richer, more complex.

The note that genre fiction (in their case the Gothic) uses 'strong forms' (familiar patterns and tropes) which 'easily lend themselves to codification in terms of conventions or 'rules' of composition. They are constraints authors take upon themselves.'

I read romance, I teach romance, I value romance. And I am always slightly confounded at the difference between what people think it is and what it actually is. The idea that a whole subset of novels dedicated to intimate human relations are indifferent are going to be simple and worthless? Weird.

yo estas vainas las veo primordialmente como una forma de poder interactuar con otras personas. No creo que asista a uno irl porque de solo pensarlo me da mareo. Es más me sorprende que vaya a ser host de uno, considerando que soy muy timide e introvertide 😭

yo creo que un book club es divertido si une se acuerda que it's just a book. Y si es entre amiches o gente con la que une tiene confianza, es recordar que al final se puede pasar muy bien y no volverlo una vaina ahi toda aburrida llena de peleas absurdas.

es la primera vez que asisto a uno y en tres semanas sera la primera vez que hago de host de uno. Hasta ahora ha sido interesante, aunque a veces me cuesta tener paciencia y no salir a estrangular a algunxs de lxs academicxs.

Public outcry to punish the alleged perpetrators in the Cornell case misses the point – the only solution is political, legal and cultural equality of women
