Intimate Distance - Women, Artists and the Body

Informationen zum Autor Rosemary Betterton teaches art history and critical studies at Sheffield Hallam University. She is the author of Looking On: Images of Femininity in the Visual Arts and Media, and has written widely in the areas of feminist art history and theory. Klappentext An Intimate Distance considers a wide range of visual images of women in the context of current debates which centre around the body, including reproductive science, questions of ageing and death and the concept of 'body horror' in relation to food, consumption and sex. A feminist reclamation of these images suggests how the permeable boundaries between the female body and technology, nature and culture are being crossed in the work of women artists. Zusammenfassung A wide range of images of women are considered in the context of currrent debates which centre around the body.
