Hello Pointees!

I write with a question that perhaps some of you have expertise in.  A
friend of mine (straight, male, South African, former Apartheid activist)
recently wrote to me for my thoughts on wartime and post-war linguistic
dynamics (as he put it: "eg popular music of ethnic communities during war -
some of which displays extreme violence - as well as the language of
post-war peacekeeping and how this affects minorities in the war/post-war
zone")

he is asking for thoughts on how queer theory, particular lesbian queer
theory, understands dynamics in war and post-war so called "peacekeeping."
he will soon be working with a group of queer women in a post-conflict zone,
so although a bit of this is theoretical in nature, i'm also looking for
thoughts on practice, in addition to pure theory.

thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have.  and yay to such a listserv
existing where i can even hope to get responses to such a query/queery!
