Sexually Explicit Art Feminist Theory and Gender in the 1970s

Sexually Explicit Art Feminist Theory and Gender in the 1970s

Structured around sexual desire as the central analytical category this monograph systematically approaches a heterogeneous array of artworks to purposefully examine the entanglements of art feminist theory gender and sexuality. This book considers the potential of sexually explicit art to challenge a socially constructed conception of sexuality as well as gender and explores the sexually explicit as a means to (re-)claim agency for marginalized subjectivities and to emancipate desire from within the patriarchal and heteronormative system. In distinct case studies the author focuses on works by four US-American artists – Robert Mapplethorpe Joan Semmel Betty Tompkins and Tee A. Corinne – and situates them in relation to contemporaneous debates associated with the insurgent Sexual Liberation Movements of the 1970s. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history visual culture and gender and sexuality studies. | Sexually Explicit Art Feminist Theory and Gender in the 1970s

Poland and European East-West Cooperation in the 1970s The Opening Up

Poland and European East-West Cooperation in the 1970s The Opening Up

This book offers an international reading of the Polish socialist regime’s history in the 1970s and its opening up to the West. It bridges Poland’s socialist domestic history with critical developments of the global and European 1970s including détente in the Cold War western European integration and globalisation. In this period of international transformations socialist Poland under Edward Gierek's leadership multiplied its economic and political contacts with capitalist countries especially western Europe and became a leader of East-West cooperation among Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and Warsaw Pact members. Relying on sources from public and corporate archives in five different European states the book demonstrates both that the global political and economic transformations of that period were critical for the decision-making process in Poland and moreover that the national socialist elites participated in shaping these transformations. By looking at the goals and expectations of the Polish socialist elites and their practices of political and economic exchanges with western Europe the book explains the logic which drove the socialist regime into entanglement with the West. As is shown here this entanglement proved inextricable and critical for the socialist regime's failure and Poland’s political and economic future. This book will be of much interest to students of European history cold war studies socialism studies and International Relations. | Poland and European East-West Cooperation in the 1970s The Opening Up

Historicizing Lifestyle Mediating Taste Consumption and Identity from the 1900s to 1970s

Historicizing Lifestyle Mediating Taste Consumption and Identity from the 1900s to 1970s

Lifestyles have a history and lifestyle media is fundamentally implicated in this history. This original volume examines issues of taste media and lifestyle from the 1900s to 1970s providing a wealth of empirical evidence and debate from varied international perspectives. Including examples as diverse as 'Good Housekeeping' and 'Playboy' it explores the continuities and discontinuities between the past and present to provide a better understanding of the representation of lifestyle and its relationship to the self. The volume demonstrates how ideas about gender nation and 'race' problematize taken-for-granted assumptions about lifestyle with particular emphasis on the new middle classes in the US. The book also examines the role of advertising and marketing in mediating ideas about lifestyle the role of material culture in the construction of cultural hierarchies and the positioning of social groups within wider cartographies of taste. The volume makes a significant contribution to this growing field and will interest academics and students in media and cultural studies communication studies cultural history and sociology. | Historicizing Lifestyle Mediating Taste Consumption and Identity from the 1900s to 1970s

Beyond Transnationalism Mapping the Spatial Contours of Political Activism in Europe’s Long 1970s

Beyond Transnationalism Mapping the Spatial Contours of Political Activism in Europe’s Long 1970s

This book is a collection of case studies that provides fresh insights into the history of political activism in Europe’s long 1970s. It covers the full spectrum of such groups from the far left to the neofascist right and from the various parts of Europe including East and West. The chapters in this book push the boundaries of our knowledge with regard to transnational spaces. For many political activists at the time identifying with a ‘transnational’ or ‘global’ protest movement provided both legitimacy for their claims and stood for the promise of sweeping change. Existing research has often reproduced such perceptions. This book goes beyond such an approach by distinguishing between different forms of transnational spaces. More specifically it recognizes important differences between imagined spaces of solidarity and belonging spaces of knowledge circulation and spaces of social experience and political action. Each chapter uses this new framework and analyses the interrelationship and significance of each of these three spaces. Beyond Transnationalism will be of particular interest to historians political scientists and educators. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of European Review of History. | Beyond Transnationalism Mapping the Spatial Contours of Political Activism in Europe’s Long 1970s

Choreography Visual Art and Experimental Composition 1950s–1970s

Choreography Visual Art and Experimental Composition 1950s–1970s

‘Winner of the 2023 Selma Jeanne Cohen Prize in Dance Aesthetics The American Society for Aesthetics. ’ This book traces the history of engagements between dance and the visual arts in the mid-twentieth century and provides a backdrop for the emerging field of contemporary intermedial art practice. Exploring the disciplinary identity of dance in dialogue with the visual arts this book unpacks how compositional methods that were dance-based informed visual art contexts. The book provokes fresh consideration of the entangled relationship between and historiographic significance of visual arts and dance by exploring movements in history that dance has been traditionally mapped to (Neo-Avant Garde Neo-Dada Conceptual art Postmodernism and Performance Art) and the specific practices and innovations from key people in the field (like John Cage Anna Halprin and Robert Rauschenberg). This book also employs a series of historical and critical case studies which show how compositional approaches from dance—breath weight tone energy—informed the emergence of the intermedial. Ultimately this book shows how dance and choreography have played an important role in shaping visual arts culture and enables the re-imagination of current art practices through the use of choreographic tools. This unique and timely offering is important reading for those studying and researching in visual and fine arts performance history and theory dance practice and dance studies as well as those working within the fields of dance and visual art.

Arab Oil Policies in the 1970s Opportunity and Responsibility

Arab Oil Policies in the 1970s Opportunity and Responsibility

Until 1973 few people either in the advanced industrial countries or in the developing countries of the Third World thought seriously on the issues and complexities involved in the production and marketing of the oil on which they relied. It was only with the sudden steep increases in oil prices that the oil industry became a matter of general discussion and the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) became a front page topic for analysis and comment. However real understanding of the organisation and its policies did not accompany this rush of interest and much confusion has followed. In particular the Arab exporters have received the weight of the criticism although they have only a share in the market and not a monopoly. This book attempts to instil a greater mutual understanding between oil exporters and importers although it is not a wholesale endorsement of Arab policies by outlining the major policy areas in this field. It looks at new policy options and their implications in exploration marketing and pricing and at downstream operations such as the petrochemical and gas industries. In conclusion this study identifies the wide-ranging opportunities that the new oil policies have opened up for the Arab countries in the national regional and international context and assesses and clarifies the responsibilities which accompany this success.

Changing Representations of Nature and the City The 1960s-1970s and their Legacies

Changing Representations of Nature and the City The 1960s-1970s and their Legacies

The turn of the 1960s-70s characterized by the rapid acceleration of globalization prompted a radical transformation in the perception of urban and natural environments. The urban revolution and related prospect of the total urbanisation of the planet in concert with rapid population growth and resource exploitation instigated a surge in environmental awareness and activism. One implication of this moment is a growing recognition of the integration and interconnection of natural and urban entities. The present collection is an interdisciplinary inquiry into the changing modes of representation of nature in the city beginning from the turn of the 1960s/70s. Bringing together a number of different disciplinary approaches including architectural studies and aesthetics heritage studies and economics environmental science and communication the collection reflects upon the changing perception of socio-natures in the context of increasing urban expansion and global interconnectedness as they are/were manifest in specific representations. Using cases studies from around the globe the collection offers a historical and theoretical understanding of a paradigmatic shift whose material and symbolic legacies are still accompanying us in the early 21st century. | Changing Representations of Nature and the City The 1960s-1970s and their Legacies

Incest A Family Pattern

Incest A Family Pattern

In the early 1980s incest was ceasing to be a taboo subject. In Britain there was much conjecture but little knowledge about it although some estimates suggested that as many as one child in ten would experience some form of sexual abuse within the family. Originally published in 1982 Jean Renvoize had travelled around the USA where considerable attention had been paid to incest in the previous few years meeting professionals ranging through paediatricians policemen university researchers social workers lawyers and – more important – victims and abusers themselves. This knowledge added to the sparser British research opened up a hitherto closed subject bringing a wide range of controversial information to an audience composed of the general public as well as professionals involved in this field at the time. The author’s clear and easy style which characterised her earlier books on related subjects – Children in Danger and Web of Violence – makes this a work of general as well as specialist interest. | Incest A Family Pattern

The Changing Pattern of Employment Regional Specialisation and Industrial Localisation in Britain

The Changing Pattern of Employment Regional Specialisation and Industrial Localisation in Britain

This title first published in 1973 covers the period of 1959 to 1968. The study suggests that government policies had very little effect on the employment structures of the sub-regions at this time despite government intervention and policy objectives in Great Britain to reduce levels of unemployment in the depressed regions and curb congestion in the Midland and South East England conurbations. Instead regional employment structures seemed to be determined by what was happening to industries at a national level. This study will be of interest to economists planners regional scientists and geographers as well as students in these fields. | The Changing Pattern of Employment Regional Specialisation and Industrial Localisation in Britain
