In her introduction to this dense but readable volume, feminist art historian Amelia Jones \u2013 who edits the collection alongside queer theorist Erin Silver \u2013 states that we no longer know \u2013 if we ever did \u2013 what we mean when we say \u2018woman\u2019, \u2018lesbian\u2019, \u2018queer\u2019 or \u2018feminist\u2019. This, apparently, is a good thing, opening up the space for the otherwise of the book\u2019s title \u2013 and for necessary debate around the subjects of queer theory and feminist art history \u2013 and their intersection.<\/p>\n

The 22 essays in the collection trace the genealogy of the two lines of study, asking whether they are inherently incompatible, with the essentialising bias of feminist art history, versus queer theory\u2019s refusal to accept identity as a static or singular aspect of subjectivity. Through a series of dialogues, from contributors of both disciplines and various generations and geographies, the volume considers what \u2018queer feminism\u2019 might mean in the making and study of the visual arts. The book is a rich resource and a must-read for anyone interested in the relationship between gender politics and visual culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
