Abstract

"The subject of deformity and disability in the ancient Greco-Roman world has experienced a surge in scholarship over the past two decades. Recognizing a vast, but relatively un(der)explored, corpus of evidence, scholars have sought to integrate the deformed and disabled body back into our understanding of ancient society and culture, art and representation. The Hunchback in Hellenistic and Roman Art works towards this end, using the figure of the hunchback to re-think and re-read images of the 'Other' as well as key issues that lie at the very heart of ancient representation. The author takes an art-historical approach, examining key features of the corpus of hunchbacks, as well as representations of the deformed and disabled more generally. This provides fertile ground for a re-assessment of current, and likewise marginalized, scholarship on the miniature in ancient art, hyperphallicism in ancient art, and the emphasis on the male body in ancient art."-- The subject of deformity and disability in the ancient Greco-Roman world has experienced a surge in scholarship over the past two decades.

Abstract

This text analyses how three artists - Adrian Piper, Nancy Spero & Mary Kelly - worked with the visual dimensions of language in the 1960s & 1970s. These artists used text and images of writing to challenge female stereotypes, addressing viewers & asking them to participate in the project of imagining women beyond familiar words & images of subordination. The work explores this dimension of their work through the concept of 'the other woman', a utopian wish to reach women & correspond with them across similarities & differences. To make the artwork's aspirations more concrete, it places the artists in correspondence with three writers - Angela Davis, Valerie Solanas, & Laura Mulvey - who also addressed the limited range of images through which women are allowed to become visible.
