Art history has enriched the study of material culture as a
scholarly field. This interdisciplinary volume enhances this
literature through the contributors' engagement with gender as the
conceptual locus of analysis in terms of femininity, masculinity,
and the spaces in between. Collectively, these essays by art
historians and museum professionals argue for a more complex
understanding of the relationship between objects and subjects in
gendered terms. The objects under consideration range from the
quotidian to the exotic, including beds, guns, fans, needle
paintings, prints, drawings, mantillas, almanacs, reticules, silver
punch bowls, and collage. These material goods may have been
intended to enforce and affirm gendered norms, however as the
essays demonstrate, their use by subjects frequently put normative
formations of gender into question, revealing the impossibility of
permanently fixing gender in relation to material goods, concepts,
or bodies. This book will appeal to art historians, museum
professionals, women's and gender studies specialists, students,
and all those interested in the history of objects in everyday
life.
