12 And the dragons danced (HotD season 2 discussion w/Bidonica)

In this episode we discuss season 2 of House of the Dragon with a special guest, Bidonica! Together we talk about art in ASOIAF/HotD compared to the history of art in our world, (trans)gender politics in HotD and our world, language and power, class politics, and more!  And also why Italian fan artists draw Sansa with dark hair...    You can contact us at: [email protected] Twitter/X BlueSky   Where to find Bidonica: https://x.com/bidonica1 https://bidonicart.tumblr.com/ https://bidonica.tumblr.com/   Art in HotD tag: https://bidonica.tumblr.com/tagged/art%20in%20hotd Art in Westeros: https://bidonica.tumblr.com/tagged/art%20in%20westeros    Bidonica's references: Umberto Eco, Il nome della rosa, Bompiani 1980  Pentiment (videogame)  Proserpine (artwork by Dante Gabriel Rossetti) Ellen Terry as Lady MacBeth (artwork by John Singer Sargent) Dance (artwork by Henri Matisse) Erotic revelry - Athenian Red Figure column krater   Lo's references: “Missbrukad kvinnokraft” - Ellen Key “Fenixelden: Drottning Kristina som alkemist” by Susanna Åkerman ”A brief trans history” - Lo “Writing migration through the body” by Emma Bond “The Queerly Departed: Narratives of Veneration in the Burials of Late Iron Age Scandinavia” by Lee Colwil  “Magic, Genderfluidity, and queer Vikings ca. 750-1050” by Jacob Bell “Fa'afafine, fakaleitī, fakafifine — understanding the Pacific's alternative gender expressions” by Alan Weedon “What does “Two-Spirit” Mean?” - by Geo Neptune   Virginie's references: Leitis in Waiting (documentary) Kumo Hina (documentary).
