- Description
- In this collection the authors revisit Sontag's life and work. Against Interpretation, 'Notes on Camp,' Letter from Hanoi, On Photography, Illness as Metaphor, I, Etcetera, and The Volcano Lover —these works form the center of essays no less passionate and imaginative than Sontag herself. Debating questions raised by the thinker's own images and identities, including her sexuality, these works question Sontag's status as a female intellectual and her parallel interest in ambitious and prophetic fictional women: her ambivalence toward popular culture: and her personal and professional 'scandals.” Paired with rare photographs and illustrations, this anthology expands the understanding of Sontag's images and power.

- Description
- Public toilets provide an opportunity for interrogating how conventional assumptions about the body, sexuality, privacy, and technology are formed in public spaces and inscribed through design across cultures. .This book consists of two sets of essays. The first, 'Potty Politics: Toilets, Gender and Identity,' establishes the importance of accessible, secure public toilets to the creation of inclusive cities, work, and learning environments. The second set of essays, 'Toilet Art: Design and Cultural Representations,' discusses public toilets as representational spaces, with reference to architectural design, humor, film, theater, art, and popular culture. Compelling visual materials and original artwork are included throughout, depicting subjects as varied as female urinals, art installations sited in public restrooms, and the toilet in contemporary art.

- Description
- Warlike women are a recurring phenomenon in German literature and culture since 1500. Amazons, terrorists, warrior women : this volume of essays analyzes ideas and portrayals of these figures in the visual arts, society, media, and scholarship, always against the backdrop of Germany's development as a culture and as a nation. The contributors look for patterns in the historical portrayal of warlike women, asking the questions: What cultural signals are sent when women are shown occupying men's spaces by dressing as warriors or in men's clothing? What can legitimize the woman who bears arms? From what is the erotic potential of images linking women and violence derived?
