"Anatomical drawing has long occupied a unique space between science and art - precise and informative but often also strangely aesthetically pleasing. Filled with images of dead and dissected bodies and body-parts, it was often by turns monstrous, provocative, playful and theatrical. Queer Anatomies reveals and explores the possibilities of sexual desire within anatomical drawings of the 18th and 19th centuries. It uncovers the subtle eroticism of certain anatomical illustrations, and the queerness of the men who made, used and collected them. A foundational subject in both the art academy and medical school, anatomy was a privileged, male-heavy domain in which dissected naked bodies, genitalia, and the rectum were available for representation. In the Victorian era, when same-sex desire and the human sexual apparatus were debarred from polite conversation and printed discourse, even seemingly sober illustrations could be charged with erotic, often homoerotic, undertones. Offering essayistic reflection and close readings of key images and texts - including works by Gautier d'Agoty, William Cheselden, Joseph Maclise and many others - Queer Anatomies places medical history, connoisseurship, queer studies, and art history into dialog with each other, and sheds new light on the history of anatomical illustration and the body. The book contains full-colour reproductions of a range of drawings - from renderings of dead and dissected bodies, penises, vaginas, rectums, hands, and skin, to images of male viewers gazing upon drawings, paintings, prints and sculptures of the naked body. Some are brilliant, accurate representations of the body, others are barely competent. But all are full of interest and offer a fascinating insight into the subversive reception of the naked body in the buttoned-up Victorian era"--

In Song Dynasty Figures of Longing and Desire , Lara Blanchard analyzes images of women in painting and poetry of China’s middle imperial period, focusing on works that represent female figures as preoccupied with romance. She discusses examples of visual and literary culture in regard to their authorship and audience, examining the role of interiority in constructions of gender, exploring the rhetorical functions of romantic images, and considering connections between subjectivity and representation. The paintings in particular have sometimes been interpreted as simple representations of the daily lives of women, or as straightforward artifacts of heteroerotic desire; Blanchard proposes that such works could additionally be interpreted as political allegories, representations of the artist’s or patron’s interiorities, or models of idealized femininity.

Auf die vielerorts im Kontext der Neuen Bewegtbilder in Kino/TV/Netz/Kunst ausgerufene »Expansion der Sinne« reagiert der bilinguale Band mit einer umsichtigen Doppelbewegung. Zunächst gilt es, in einem genauen Befragen der für das Kino konstitutiven, »kinästhetischen« Erfahrung in der Filmwahrnehmung (Vivian Sobchack) ein in die Medien stets schon eingeschriebenes Angebot zur sinnlichen (Selbst-)Entgrenzung und Überschreitung anzuerkennen. In der Folge wird im Wechselspiel konkreter Bewegtbilder aus den Produktionsstätten der Neuen Medien mit philosophischen, gesellschaftstheoretischen und neurobiologisch motivierten Theorien und Modellen der Wandel unserer sinnlichen und mentalen Vermögen durch Techniken der Modulation, der Simulation, der Prothetik, der Vernetzung und der digitalen Kartographie nachgezeichnet. »Der sehr ansehnlich gestaltete Sammelband empfiehlt sich [...] auch als hervorragender Einstieg in das Problemfeld der Wechselwirkung von Bildern und Sinnen unter digitalen Bedingungen.« Johannes Bennke, MEDIENwissenschaft, 3 (2017) »Ein vielstimmiger, anregender, schön gearbeiteter Band.« Drehli Robnik, Camera Austria, 136 (2016) Besprochen in: GMK-Newsletter, 12 (2015)
