Contemporary feminist studies and its relation to art history and visual studies : proceedings from a conference in Gothenburg, March 28-29, 2007

Om boken

Medverkande: Bia Mankell, Alexandra Reiff

The aim of this conference was to discuss and to elucidate the effects of the llast thirtyfive years of feminist studies within art history and visual studies. Since Linda Nochlin published the essay "Why have there been no great women artists?" considerable research has been made and published. But is the gender perspective included in contemporary research and teaching? Or is it still marginalized? Except for the feminist perspective, gender and queer theories and ethnicity will be discussed in relation to contemporary research in art history and visual studies, and adjacent disciplines.
