内容説明

"Exhibiting gender" examines the ways in which women's art and representations of women are collected and presented in museums and art galleries today. It presents readers with full colour reproductions of pairs of unidentified works, one by a man and one by a woman, and asks, 'can you tell which is the woman's work?' Readers are encouraged to examine their own expectations of, and preconceptions about, art by women, and the ways in which women are represented in art; the text will reveal both the answer and a further discussion of the issues raised. Developed from an innovative exhibition at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, in 1992, the book offers readers a way of studying and thinking about individual works which builds on, rather than ignores or negates, their own responses to the images. The format of the book will make it enjoyable to discuss the answer to the question 'which is the woman's work?' in an informal or classroom context. Teachers will find that it provides an opportunity for introducing gender issues to students in a way that is both stimulating and entertaining.

内容説明

Established in the belief that imperialism as a cultural phenomenon had as significant an effect on the dominant as it did on the subordinate societies, the "Studies in Imperialism" series seeks to develop the new socio-cultural approach which has emerged through cross-disciplinary work on popular culture, media studies, art history, the study of education and religion, sports history and children's literature. The cultural emphasis embraces studies of migration and race, while the older political, and constitutional, economic and military concerns are never far away. It incorporates comparative work on European and American empire-building, with the chronological focus primarily, though not exclusively, on the 19th and 20th centuries, when these cultural exchanges were most powerfully at work. This work explores the sexual attitudes and activities of those who ran the British Empire. The study explains the pervasive importance of sexuality in the Victorian Empire, both for individuals and as a general dynamic in the working of the system. Among the topics included in the book are prostitution, the manners and mores of missionaries and aspects of race in sexual behaviour. -- .
