- Description
- This volume explores issues of black female identity through the various “imaginings” of the black female body in print and visual culture. Offering an exploration of the continuities and discontinuities of subjectivity and agency, this collection reveals black women’s expressivity as a multilayered enterprise, liberating and similarly confining. Thus these representations in art, literature, and culture perform a delicate and challenging dance of redemption—a redemption necessary to flesh out the precarious dynamics of being black and female at the turn of this century.

- Description
- Liber amicorum for Carolyn P. Collette, American professor emerita of English language and literature and a specialist in medieval literature, as she retires from Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley MA, United States. The essays gathered in this volume present considerations of the intersection of objects and gender within the cultural contexts of late medieval France and England. Some take a material view of objects, showing buildings, books, and pictures as sites of gender negotiations and extensions of women's bodies. Other reconsider the concept of objectification in the lives of fictional and historical medieval women by looking closely at their relation to gendered material objects, taken literally as women's possessions and as figurative manifestations of their desires. Contents:
Part 1: Objects and gender in a material world: The 'Thyng Wommen loven moost' : the wife of Bath's fabliau answer ['The wife of Bath's tale', 'Canterbury tales', Geoffrey Chaucer] : Zenobia's objects : The object of miraculous song in 'The prioress's tale'.
Part 2: Buildings, books, and women's (self-)fashioning: A gift from the queen : the architecture of the Collège de Navarre in Paris [the first royal college in Paris] : Anne of Bohemia and the objects of Ricardian kingship : Royal biography as reliquary : Christine de Pizan's 'Livre des fais et bonnes meurs du sage roy Charles V' : A gift, a mirror, a memorial : the psalter-hours of Mary de Bohun : 'Parchment and pure flesh' : Elizabeth de Vere, Countess of the twelfth Earl of Oxford, and her book.
Part 3: Bodies, objects, and objects in the shape of bodies: Objects of the law : the cases of Dorigen and Virginia : Galatea's pulse : objects, ethics, and Jean de Meun's conclusion : Transgender and the chess queen in Chaucer's 'Book of the duchess' : Statues, bodies, and souls : St. Cecilia and some medieval attitudes toward ancient Rome.
