Taylor & Francis Iconic Works of Art by Feminists and Gender
Book SynopsisIn this book, contributors identify and explore a range of iconic works â Mistress-Pieces â that have been made by feminists and gender activists since the 1970s. The first volume for which the defining of iconic feminist art is the raison dâÃtre, its contributors interpret a Mistress-Piece as a work that has proved influential in a particular context because of its distinctiveness and relevance.Reinterpreting iconic art by Alice Neel, Hannah Wilke and Ana Mendieta, the authors also offer important insights about works that may be less well known â those by Natalia LL, Tanja OstojiÄ, Swoon, Clara MenÃres, Diane Victor, Usha Seejarim, Ilse FuskovÃ, Phaptawan Suwannakudt âand Tracey Moffatt, among others. While in some instances revealing cross influences between artists working in different frameworks, the publication simultaneously makes evident how social and political factors specific to particular countries had significant impact on the making and reception of art focused Table of ContentsIntroductionBrenda SchmahmannPart I: Reconfiguring Domestic Life 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Companion to Black Womens Cultural Histories
Book SynopsisIn the social and cultural histories of women and feminism, Black women have long been overlooked or ignored. The Routledge Companion to Black Women's Cultural Histories is an impressive and comprehensive reference work for contemporary scholarship on the cultural histories of Black women across the diaspora spanning different eras from ancient times into the twenty-first century. Comprising over 30 chapters by a team of international contributors, the Companion is divided into five parts: A fragmented past, an inclusive future Contested histories, subversive memories Gendered lives, racial frameworks Cultural shifts, social change Black identities, feminist formations Within these sections, a diverse range of women, places, and issues are explored, including ancient African queens, Black women in early modern European art and culturTrade Review"I am humbled by this breathtaking collection of essays from an extraordinary group of scholars. Spanning the diaspora and the millennia, this timely collection explores both familiar and new areas of black feminist historical analysis and cultural interrogation, highlighting new writings on black women’s intellectual traditions and challenging the silences in the archives that have long denied women of color - both free and enslaved - their roles in making history. From the queens of Ancient Egypt to modern day activists and leaders, there is much here for everyone. This is an essential addition to bookshelves and classrooms everywhere!" Kate Clifford Larson, author of Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman, Portrait of an American Hero."The collection we need in this global moment, The Routledge Companion to Black Women’s Cultural Histories reveals how black women around the world are central to our current conceptualizations of knowledge, politics, art, literature, feminisms, and survival. This set of essays is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the struggles we all face and how, with black women as our guides, we can push for a better and vibrant future."Ashley D. Farmer, University of Texas-Austin, USA, author of Remaking Black Power: How Black Women Transformed an Era."The Routledge Companion to Black Women’s Cultural Histories is unprecedented in its scope and ambition. In 35 chapters, scholars from Africa, the Americas, and Europe, at different stages of their careers, document the transformative creativity of Black women across the African diaspora. Collectively these chapters demonstrate the complexity, strength, heterogeneity and communal nature of Black women’s cultural history. They also inform our understanding of race and gender today, by questioning white canonical constructions of culture and creativity and finding new ways to narrate histories of those long silenced by archives and professional historians. This bold new collection will shape the field of Black women’s cultural history for some time to come."Kate Dossett, University of Leeds, UK, author of Radical Black Theatre in the New Deal.Table of ContentsIntroduction - Janell Hobson PART I – A FRAGMENTED PAST, AN INCLUSIVE FUTURE 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Power and Fluidity of Girlhood in Henry
Book SynopsisThis book is the first to examine Henry Darger's conceptual and visual representation of girls and girlhood.Specifically, Leisa Rundquist charts the artist's use of little girl imageryhis direct appropriations from mainstream sources as well as girls modified to meet his needsin contexts that many scholars have read as puerile and psychologically disturbed. Consequently, this inquiry qualifies the intersexed aspects of Darger's protagonists as well as addresses their inherent cute and little associations that signal multivocal meanings often in conflict with each other. Rundquist engages Darger's art through thematic analyses of the artist's writings, mature works, collages, and ephemeral materials.This book will be of particular interest to scholars in art history, art and gender studies, sociology, and contemporary art.Trade Review"Following an excellent introduction to Darger scholarship, Rundquist (Univ. of North Carolina, Asheville) adeptly mines intersections of popular visual culture, Darger’s obsessively devout Catholicism, and art historical method, extracting compelling insights from a challenging body of images that range from the pastoral to violently horrific. ... Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty."--CHOICE"[Rundquist's] focused study is an important contribution to Darger scholarship, in part precisely because it privileges social nd material cultural critique."--The Burlington Magazine"In this admirably concise volume, Leisa Rundquist works diligently to normalize Henry Darger. ... [T]he power of this book is in her close analysis of Darger’s sources and culture, especially the specific strands of influence from his devotion to Roman Catholicism."--The OutsiderTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Littleness; 2. Girls on the Run; 3. The Power of Cuteness; Epilogue: Attentive Aesthetics
