Since antiquity, artists have visualized the known world through
the female (sometimes male) body. In the age of exploration,
America was added to figures of Europe, Asia, and Africa who would
come to inhabit the borders of geographical visual imagery. In the
abundance of personifications in print, painting, ceramics,
tapestry, and sculpture, do portrayals vary between hierarchy and
global human dignity? Are we witnessing the emergence of
ethnography or of racism? Yet, as this volume shows, depictions of
bodies as places betray the complexity of human claims and desires.
Bodies and Maps: Early Modern Personifications of the Continents
opens up questions about early modern politics, travel literature,
sexualities, gender, processes of making, and the mobility of forms
and motifs. Contributors are: Louise Arizzoli, Elisa Daniele,
Hilary Haakenson, Elizabeth Horodowich, Maryanne Cline Horowitz,
Ann Rosalind Jones, Paul H. D. Kaplan, Marion Romberg, Mark Rosen,
Benjamin Schmidt, Chet Van Duzer, Bronwen Wilson, and Michael
Wintle.
