Document Summary
John berger, ways of seeing : uses examples from classical european oil painting to talk about how we process visual information and how visual information has its own language, which also reveals much about gender assumptions. Suzanne lustig, how and why did the guerilla girls alter the world. Establishment : guerilla girls and 1980s/90s nyc art scene, women as artists and not works of art. Heather davis, screaming as loud as the boys : anti-establishment ethos of punk vs. reality of women in punk scene. Images convey meaning as much as story does, including meaning about gender, race and class. Men: presence: the promise of power, what a man is capable of doing to and for you, actions. Women: presence: attitude towards herself, what can or cannot be done to her, taste , appearances. Because women live under the keeping of men (are subordinate to men in patriarchal society), they split themselves into two: the surveyor and the surveyed.
