[cultstud-l] Brittany Spears' bellybutton

[Max Sawicky]

2000 words might be enough if it's an inny.
But if it's an out-y, nothing less than 3000
would do.

I'm looking for someone who might be able to either write or help research
an article that might be summarized (more or less) as The Semiotics of
Brittany Spears' Navel. It would be something that looks at the changing
cultural significance (across cultures and through time, if possible) of the
navel. It could also touch on issues of the 'performance of gender,' the
commercialization/marketing of "girlishness," etc.  Or it could take a new
direction. It doesn't necessarily have to include Brittany Spears (that was
just to get your attention.)

Length would be about 1500 to 2000 words. We pay competitive rates.
