I have a small hand in organising the conference below. Please do come along for what promises to be a
very interesting session, appropriately held on International Women's Day 2014.
"Through history women’s bodies have been the subject of artistic presentation, ostensibly to celebrate the beauty of the female form, but also to fetishize, to dismember and to control women both within the arts and in the wider world. This interdisciplinary conference seeks to appraise the depiction of women’s physical form in artworks, as well as how artistic presentation has informed other disciplines, from the Nineteenth Century to Now, in order to assess how far the arts have changed in line with apparent developments in the treatment of women, over the comparable historical gulf. We are also keen to consider the social impact the arts have had, and continue to have, on the treatment of women.
Keynote speakers at the conference will include Pulitzer Prize winning author,
Jane Smiley;
Professor Jo Phoenix (University of Durham);
Dr Kate MacDonald (University of Ghent)."
