How did the rat-control program, launched by the Government of Alberta in 1950, become associated with the identity and heritage of the province? The authors answer this question by undertaking close visual analyses of the anti-rat posters and pamphlets that were distributed by the government throughout the 1950s. Using a visual methodology inspired by semiotics, they argue that the early rat-control program ambitiously promoted Alberta as a unif…

This article examines the portraits of seventeenth-century French accoucheurs [men-midwives] that regularly appeared as the first plate in their obstetrical treatises, representing the body from which the text had issued. It argues that these visual documents were forms of strategic display in keeping with the wider goals of the treatises--to present their authors as cultivated, skilled, and vastly experienced experts in childbirth. At a time whe…

Shopping in the Museum? Consumer Spaces and the Redefinition of the Louvre
This article examines the recent renovations of the Louvre Museum,paying particular attention to the Carrousel du Louvre, a shopping mall which opened in the Richelieu wing in 1993.

This marginal location potentially undermines traditional distinctions between ‘high’ and ‘popular’ culture, upon which the definition of the mus…
