Gender, Otherness, and Culture in Medieval and Early Modern Art (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This collection examines gender and Otherness as tools to understand medieval and early modern art as products of their social environments. The essays, uniting up-and-coming and established scholars, explore both iconographic and stylistic similarities deployed to construct gender identity. The text analyzes a vast array of medieval artworks, including Dieric Bouts’s Justice of Otto III, Albrecht Dürer’s Feast of the Rose Garland, Rembrandt van Rijn’s Naked Woman Seated on a Mound, and Renaissance-era transi tombs of French women to illuminate medieval and early modern ideas about gender identity, poverty, religion, honor, virtue, sexuality, and motherhood, among others.

Rezensionen

"The volume ... summarizes the state of research and outlines the major theoretical issues in considering the intersection of gender, 'otherness,' and visual culture. ... it should become a desiratum for scholars interested in gender." (Diane Wolfthal, Early Modern Women Journal, Vol. 13 (2), 2019)
