Que fait le genre à celui qui le pratique dans des univers à forts enjeux symboliques et dont les représentations irriguent les sociétés contemporaines ou du passé ? On sait que le concept insiste autant sur la différenciation historique, sociale et culturelle des sexes que la hiérarchisation entre principes ""masculins"" et ""féminins"". Comment la prise en compte du genre agit-elle sur nos catégorisations, nos théories, nos outils d investigation lorsqu on se penche sur la littérature, le cinéma, les arts plastiques, la musique, pour ne citer que quelques domaines ? En quoi cette grille de lecture conduit-elle à appréhender autrement cet univers et éclaire-t-elle par ricochet notre compréhension de la société dans son ensemble ?

Art historian Catherine McCormack challenges how culture teaches us to see and value women, their bodies, and their lives. Cultural archetypes have long been used to subjugate women, binding them within the restrictive roles of Venus, bride, wife, mother, and monster. These portrayals echo throughout the paintings and sculptures of western art -Titian, Botticelli, and Giambologna- and more contemporaneously in fashion photographs, ads, and across social media. By society empowering men to represent women, women imbibe a distorted vision of themselves and their bodies, coming up against notions of impossible beauty, idealized passivity and violence, and horrifying Medusas. In this impassioned work, art historian Catherine McCormack evaluates the production and display of portrayals of women, exposing the underlying meanings, whether overt or symbolic. She counters them by turning to women artists like Berthe Morisot, Beyoncé, Suzanne Lacy, and Faith Ringgold. These women have been overturning confining depictions of identity, sexuality, race, and power to explore the breadth and multiplicity of women's visions of their own lives.
