Happened upon this when Googling "Philadelphia mangaka"...
Though the authors (two art educators) overdo the academic-speak, I think they offer a fascinating perspective on the history and context of shounen-ai and yaoi doujinshi:
"Boys' Love," Yaoi, and Art Education: Issues of Power and Pedagogy.
Teaser: "Time and time again we heard this distinction: male pornography is about reality; yaoi is about fantasy. Some semiotic digging seems in order."
::hefting my semiotic shovel::
(Such digging apparently can unearth a "cultural rhizome." So cute!)
( and more )
