- Feminism and Art History Now develops new historiographic and methodological thinking in writing feminist art histories. The collection interweaves case studies based on original empirical research with contributions that are more reflexive and dialogic in their examination of the conceptual issues at stake. Contributions on Italian feminism, the colonial dimensions of feminist art historiographies, and the significance of social reproduction theory for feminist art history, represent nascent developments in the English-speaking field that have been elaborated in subsequent publications.
The volume originated in a series of live events convened by Horne, and in which Perry was a participant, at the University of Edinburgh between 2012 and 2015. The editors worked together to select from the presentations and invite further contributions in order to expand on four different historiographical problems, which are discussed at length in their co-authored introduction: the role of the category of ‘women’ in a moment when the diversity of female and non-binary experience is underlined; the issue of visibility in feminist politics and whether there are ways to frame gender emancipation without subscribing to visibility as a measure of success; new ways of thinking about domesticity as a site of production rather than repression; and the emancipatory possibilities of thinking about time outside of a linear format.
Dimitrakaki and Perry’s co-authored chapter contributes to the second thread and records the thinking of both contributors following a period of intensive joint research and collaboration between 2010 and 2015 on the topic of feminist and female artists and curators in highly visible exhibition initiatives after 2005.
