- This co-edited essay collection was the result of a research initiative that Horne established. ‘Writing Feminist Art Histories’ ran between 2012 and 2016 and consisted of 4 workshops at the Universities of Edinburgh, York and At Andrews, and a 2-day international conference at the University of Edinburgh. The edited book is a record of those workshop discussions, presentations and conference papers and therefore constitutes a significant archive of feminist research being done in the UK during that period. Consequently, one of the book’s original editorial contributions is to chart a historiographical impulse in current feminist art scholarship which, it is argued, has been prompted by a widespread ‘return’ to feminism and its histories after years of so-called post-feminist rhetoric. The extensive introductory chapters situate the book’s research in relation to earlier feminist debates and legacies, whilst uncovering a revisionist instinct in the authors’ approaches this historical record - a sense of maintaining and ‘caring’ for the feminist past is highlighted.
For one earlier output Horne published a short article (with Amy Tobin): ‘An unfinished revolution in art historiography, or how to write a feminist art history’, Feminist Review, 107 (2014): 75-83. (Re-printed in the book). In addition to this reprinted essay, Horne’s contributions to the collection include a 10,000-word co-authored essay surveying the field of feminist research and four 2,000-word co-authored essays introducing particular themes.
