Item description from seller

very good dust-jacket, very good blue cloth. INSCRIBED with thanks for help over the years, to recipient names hard to decipher, and SIGNED Madeline, 2001. CAVINESS, MADELINE H. Visualizing women in the Middle Ages: sight, spectacle, and scopic economy. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2001, 1st printing number line ending in 1, 231pp., . Middle Ages series. - "During the high Middle Ages in Europe, the act of looking was surrounded by superstition. It was believed to have magic power, it was able to arouse anxiety, and it was the subject of lengthy texts by both men and women. In Visualizing Women in the Middle Ages, Madeline H. Caviness interrogates the contemporary theory of the gaze and concedes that the "male gaze"--First articulated by Laura Mulvey and a cornerstone of much feminist criticism - is useful for understanding a cultural code of patriarchy in the high Middle Ages. However, she argues, one should take into account the many varying visual modes that proliferated in the medieval era. For Caviness, an awareness of historical context places pressure upon contemporary theories like that of the "male gaze," changing their shapes and creating even richer dialogues with the past." - CONTENTS: Prelude. The Problem with Mary: Disembodying Motherhood -- Introduction. The "Male Gaze" and Scopic Economies -- The "Male Gaze" as a Cultural Code in Patriarchy -- Psychoanalysis and Feminism -- The "Mulveian Gaze" -- Gaze Trouble: The Problem of Essentialism -- The Historical Project -- Good Girls Don't Look: Lot's Wife and Daughters -- The Narrative: Lot's Story -- Images of Lot's Wife: The Transgressive Gaze -- Lot's Daughters, or Why Was Incest Better than Sodomy? -- Sado-Erotic Spectacles, Breast Envy, and the Bodies of Martyrs -- Sado-Erotic Mut(il)ation -- Discourses of Pain and Pleasure, Then and Now -- Tortured Female Martyrs and the Gaze in the Middle Ages -- The Medieval Woman's Body and Its Spectator -- Representational Codes in Some Images of Torture -- Castration Anxiety or Breast Envy? -- The Broken Mirror: Parts, Relics, Freaks -- The De-Eroticized Body: Aesthetic Codes, Fragmentation, and the Problem of Agency -- Bodies-in-Bits, Then and Now -- (Re)Assembled Bodies, Grotesque and Otherwise.
