The ArtsMarch 2013Women, the arts and globalization
Eccentric experience
by Marsha Meskimmon, Amelia Jones, Dorothy C. Rowe, Dorothy Rowe, Marsha Meskimmon
Women, the arts and globalization: Eccentric experience is the first anthology to bring transnational feminist theory and criticism together with women's art practices to discuss the connections between aesthetics, gender and identity in a global world. The essays in Women, the Arts and Globalization demonstrate that women in the arts are rarely positioned at the centre of the art market, and the movement of women globally (as travelers or migrants, empowered artists/scholars or exiled practitioners), rarely corresponds with the dominant models of global exchange. Rather, contemporary women's art practices provide a fascinating instance of women's eccentric experiences of the myriad effects of globalization. Bringing scholarly essays on gender, art and globalization together with interviews and autobiographical accounts of personal experiences, the diversity of the book is relevant to artists, art historians, feminist theorists and humanities scholars interested in the impact of globalization on culture in the broadest sense. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2024Women in exile in early modern Europe and the Americas
by Linda Levy Peck, Adrianna E. Bakos
Exile, its pain and possibility, is the starting point of this book. Women's experience of exile was often different from that of men, yet it has not received the important attention it deserves. Women in exile in early modern Europe and the Americas addresses that lacuna through a wide-ranging geographical, chronological, social and cultural approach. Whether powerful, well-to-do or impoverished, exiled by force or choice, every woman faced the question of how to reconstruct her life in a new place. These essays focus on women's agency despite the pressures created by political, economic and social dislocation. Collectively, they demonstrate how these women from different countries, continents and status groups not only survived but also in many cases thrived. This analysis of early modern women's experiences not only provides a new vantage point from which to enrich the study of exile but also contributes important new scholarship to the history of women.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 1997Picturing women in late medieval and renaissance art
by Christa Grossinger
This extensively illustrated book discusses the representation of women in the art of the late Middle Ages in Northern Europe. Drawing on a wide range of different media, but making particular use of the rich plethora of woodcuts, the author charts how the images of women changed during the period and proposes two basic categories - the Virgin and Eve, good and evil. Within these, however, we discover attitudes to sinful, foolish, married and unmarried women and the style and use of these images exposes the full extent of the misogyny entrenched in medieval society. ;

October 2021Schwarze Spiegel
by Nicolas Mahler, Arno Schmidt, Arno Schmidt
Wir befinden uns im Sommer des Jahres 1960. Ein Mann radelt durch eine geisterhafte Landschaft. Ein Atomschlag fünf Jahre zuvor hat die Erde entvölkert hat, und zwar ziemlich gründlich. Der Mann stöbert in den menschenleeren Dörfern der Umgebung nach brauchbarem Material und Vorräten. Wider Erwarten trifft er auf einen anderen Menschen, eine Frau. »Was werden sie tun? Einander in die Arme sinken? Einander totschlagen? Oder schweigen aneinander vorbei gehen?« Arno Schmidt hat in seiner kulturpessimistischen Adam-und-Eva-Dystopie unter den drei Möglichkeiten die »organische Lösung« gewählt. Was man sich darunter vorzustellen hat, hat der Comic-Künstler Nicolas Mahler in dieser Graphic Novel auf unnachahmlich witzige Art in Szene gesetzt.
