WMNST 106 MIDTERMmale gaze - ANS-the structuring principle for representation of women. A projection of
the male fantasy. Often one of eroticism and objectification.
The male gaze is used in artwork. We use it in this class to look critically at male
pleasure and how women are objectified in images. It also reveals social, gender and
power relations.
Women's Work - ANS-Work that is socially acceptable and encouraged for women
because it suits their capabilities. Some examples of women work are textiles,
embroidery, quilting, sewing and ceramics.
Women's work brings attention to the old age hierarchy in society and the art world.
Women's artwork was traditionally devalued because of its association with the feminine
and domestic.
Gendering of genres - ANS-The genres are art that assigned to each gender.
Devaluation of women's work through its association with gender roles. The hierarchy of
genres deems women's art practice inferior and male art practice superior. The female
artist is limited to simply works of art such as still life and portraits. While males can
specialize in all genres.
This is important because the gendering of genres set expectations and limits for
woman in the art world. They were also set back by the lack of available education
because they were women. Those who wanted to learn the more technical skills needed
to paint or sculpt more detailed subjects had to learn underground from male relatives if
they were willing to teach.
White Privilege - ANS-The advantage and privilege by virtue of being white, unearned
privilege but also a normality. White operates and an invisible racial identity.
(invisible backpack with unearned assets)
throughout history race has been as negative term and the fact that white is not usually
thought of as a race shows that white people control the social/cultural norms of
Americans. Their power is represented in the everyday privileges that white people don't
realize they have because they seem so normal. This is relevant to our class because it
shows racial inequality.
