  • Liquid culture, the art of life and dancing with Tracey Emin: A feminist art historian/cultural analyst's perspective on Bauman's missing cultural hermeneutics

    Open AccessG PollockARTICLEThesis Eleven2020Cited by: 1References: 7

    In this article I chart an indirect if not oblique path through my own theoretical formation as a social and feminist art historian, informed by Marxist cultural studies but deeply engaged with issues of difference and gender, to the response Zygmunt Bauman made to a book I gave him that I had reason to believe would resonate with his work. It did not. Indeed, my kind of theoretically informed visual and cultural analysis was indecipherable despi…

  • Thinking in dark times: Assessing the transdisciplinary legacies of Zygmunt Bauman

    Open AccessG Pollock, Mark DavisARTICLEThesis Eleven2020References: 2

    In 2018, the Bauman Institute and the Centre for Cultural Analysis, Theory & History (CentreCATH), both based at the University of Leeds (UK), initiated a transdisciplinary programme to assess the legacies of Zygmunt Bauman (1925-2017), whose prolific writings we felt to be profoundly relevant to the multiple challenges of the 21st century. In this special issue of Thesis Eleven, we are marking just over three years since the death of Zygmunt Bau…

  • Akerman' on-screen: Chantal Akerman behind and before the camera, and after cinema

    G PollockARTICLEMoving Image Review & Art Journal…2019

    To challenge the increasing tendency to read Chantal Akerman's oeuvre autobiographically, this article analyses two documentaries on the filmmaker. It theorizes the effects of the increasingly frequent appearance of the filmmaker on screen in such documentaries and in her own films by reviewing both tendencies through the classic debates about authorship. Noting and critiquing the way in which the documentary filmmakers attempt to mimic 'Akerman'…

  • Monroe’s Molly: Three Reflections on Eve Arnold’s Photograph of Marilyn Monroe Reading Ulysses

    Open AccessG PollockARTICLEJournal of Visual Culture2016

    It is often said that Marilyn Monroe was even more brilliant in posing for still photography than for cinematic performances. She posed for a range of remarkable photographers creating a secondary archive of ‘still Monroe’. Eve Arnold was one of the only women who contributed to this archive. Does gender inflect the images she made of this complex modernist woman of the 1950s? The photo-shoot that brought Arnold and Monroe together in 1955 has in…

    G PollockARTICLEdifferences2016Cited by: 3References: 11

    Reading the event of feminism as a trauma both to its societies and, as important, to its potential subject-feminists-this article mounts an argument against the iterated feminist memory of warring generations and succeeding waves. Citing Elizabeth Grosz on the constant need for new concepts that enable the heterogeneous actualization of feminism's unharvested virtuality and Ewa Plonowska Ziarek's rereading of suffragette thought as an aesthetic …

  • Vision and Difference: Feminism, Femininity and Histories of Art

    G PollockBOOKVision and Difference2015

    Griselda Pollock provides concrete historical analyses of key moments in the formation of modern culture to reveal the sexual politics at the heart of modernist art. Crucially, she not only explores a feminist re-reading of the works of canonical male Impressionist and Pre-Raphaelite artists including Edgar Degas and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, but als

  • Crimes, Confession and the Everyday: Challenges in Reading Charlotte Salomon’s Leben? oder Theater? 1941–1942

    Open AccessG PollockARTICLEJournal of Visual Culture2014

    Charlotte Salomon (1917–1943) was a Jewish-German artist murdered in Auschwitz at the age of 26. She left one massive artwork comprising 784 paintings with text, music and overlays. What is this work? Why was it made? Since its first exhibition and publication in the 1960s it has been treated as an autobiographical narrative and Holocaust testimony. Resisting both trends, this article reframes the work in terms of gender, the event and the everyd…

    I am not a personality of great achievements, just an ordinary person who once was an ordinary teenage girl trapped in the walls of the Warsaw ghetto and who later grew into an ordinary woman coping with three children and with the communist regime in Poland. I think I should rather call myself a creature. Janina Bauman (Bauman 2002: 28) Meeting the distinguished writer Janina Bauman in her retirement and in Leeds, I never felt I truly got to kno…

  • Where do Bunnys come from? From Hamsterdam to hubris

    A Bryant, G PollockARTICLECity2010Cited by: 2References: 3

    The Wire has not only been identified as one of the greatest television studies of the destitution of the modern American city through the genre of the police procedural, but it has also been hailed as a modern work of tragedy. The strength and depth of its characters confer upon them the tragic status of brave and courageous individuals battling the vagaries of fate. For Simon and Burns, the contemporary gods are, however, the faceless forces of…

    G PollockARTICLENew Literary History2010Cited by: 3

    Why has modernist culture been so unable imaginatively to integrate women's creativity into its narratives of radicalism, innovation, dissidence, and transgression when gender has to be recognized as one of the neuralgic points of modernity itself? If the canonical story of art wrote gender into modernism only in the negative, by effacement of its most agitating bearers-women avant-gardists-how can a retrospective archaeology of the avant-garde, …

    G PollockARTICLECritique d’art2008

    These books span the often contradictory impulses that constitute the emergence of feminism as a both theoretical-strategic and a practical-tactical inflection of writing of art history and criticism. Differently oriented, the books address a common problematic, each explored by the opposing strategy. That problematic is the excessive visibility the feminine as a figuration in the image (Ecce Femina) and the created invisibility of women as creat…

    G PollockARTICLECritique d’art2008

    Ces livres évoquent les impulsions souvent contradictoires qui caractérisent l’émergence du féminisme comme une inflexion —tant théorique et stratégique que pratique et tactique— de l’écriture de l’histoire de l’art et sa critique. Proposant des orientations différentes, ces ouvrages exposent une problématique commune qu’ils explorent selon des stratégies contraires. Cette problématique renvoie d’une part à la visibilité excessive du genre fémini…
