In Orientalism, Eroticism and Modern Visuality in Global Cultures
scholars look afresh at representations of nineteenth-century
'oriental' bodies, inquiring deeply into their erotic dimensions,
tracing their global dissemination at cross-cultural intersections
of the visual and the political. Authors consider the impact of
eroticized orientalist representations registered on racial and
gendered bodies at historical moments across the globe in the media
of photography, painting, prints and sculpture by contextualizing
the visual within social practices, ethnography, literature, travel
writing and the dynamics of imperialism. Authors examine
orientalism's politico-erotic import across not only imperial
Britain and France but also throughout India and the Middle East
initiating cross-cultural analyses of orientalism outside of
Europe. Works studied include Orientalist and homoerotic works by
canonic artists such as Ingres, Gerome, Delacroix and Girodet, and
lesser-known artists such as sculptor Raffaele Monti and painter
Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann. Contributors explore Turkish and
European writings, explorer Richard Burton's self-fashioning, and
popular Orientalist photography in India and the Middle East.
Authors draw on methods from gender studies, semiotics, material
culture and psychoanalysis to explore art, national identity,
homoerotic subcultures, female agency, class, sexuality and
colonialism. The book is directed to interdisciplinary scholars and
students in art history, literature, history, and postcolonial
studies.
