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.

The first study of nineteenth-century replication across art,
literature, science, social science and humanities This landmark
study explores replication as a nineteenth-century phenomenon.
Replication, defined by Victorian artists as subsequent versions of
a first version, similar but changed, occurred in art, literature,
the press, merchandising, and historical reproductions in
architecture and museums. Replication also shaped scientific
concepts in biology and geology and scientific practices in
laboratories that repeated experiments as part of the scientific
method. Fourteen case studies map a range of nineteenth-century
replication practices and associations across art, literature,
science, media and material culture. While replication stirred
imaginations as well as anxieties over the industrialisation that
produced a modern mass culture, 'Replication in the Long Nineteenth
Century' suggests, nonetheless, that this phenomenon is a
forerunner of our contemporary digital culture.Key FeaturesThe
first historical study of nineteenth-century replicationIncludes
multidisciplinary case studies that rest on archival research as
well as theory and analysisEstablishes a model for studying period
concepts across disciplines and practicesEnhances understanding of
the immense impact of digitization by illuminating its pre-history

A prolific artist, writer, designer, and political activist, the
work of William Morris remains remarkably powerful and relevant
today. But how do you teach someone like Morris who made
significant contributions to several different fields of study? And
how, within the exigencies of the modern educational system, can
teachers capture the interdisciplinary spirit of this polymath,
whose various contributions hang so curiously together? Teaching
William Morris gathers together the work of nineteen Morris
scholars from a variety of fields, offering a wide array of
perspectives on the challenges and the rewards of teaching William
Morris. Across the book’s five sections – “Art and Design,”
“Literature,” “Political Contexts,” “Pasts and
Presents,” and “Digital Humanities” – readers will learn
the history of Morris’s place in the modern curriculum, the
current state of the field for teaching Morris’s work today, and
how this pedagogical effort is reaching beyond the classroom by way
of books, museums, and digital resources.
