Re: very interesting - directed to Ken

Ken, after the first VIDA count, Bookslut ran a set of posts looking into what real life contributing factors might have influenced the stats:

VIDA have provided their own critique of some of these ideas:

and there are many articles that continue the conversation of stats and analysis:

Although this does not relate directly to Renay's project, I think the theories and rhetoric advanced after VIDA 2010 is likely to be relevant to any further investigative analysis of the stats Renay has produced, so I suspect this is the kind of information you'd be interested in. And Ana has some great thoughts above.
