Mothering Myths: An ABC of Art, Birth and Care

內容簡介

內容簡介 《母職迷思》從中世紀到當代藝術，重新觀看母職的形象、神話與政治一部從藝術史出發、橫跨時代與性別視角，重新思考「母親」如何被觀看、被神化、被壓抑的重磅文集。《母職迷思》是一部立足視覺藝術、兼具交織性與跨歷史視野的重要文集，從中世紀一路談到當代，重新檢視藝術中「母職」的形象如何被建構、歌頌，也如何被忽略。長久以來，母親雖是生命的核心，卻常被推入私領域；在藝術史中，她們不是被塑造成無私奉獻的理想母親，就是被視為不夠重大、不值得成為「偉大藝術」的主題。本書指出，從聖母瑪利亞作為西方藝術中的「原初母親」，到近現代藝術中母職經驗的邊緣化，母親的形象始終深受權力、性別與觀看方式左右。藝術家 Lise Halle Baggesen 更以「Mothernism」計畫提出藝術史中存在一個「母親形狀的黑洞」——母性照護明明無所不在，卻長期在藝術敘事中缺席。延續《On the Necessity of Gardening》的編排形式，本書以字母辭典式短文交織長篇文章，匯集眾多創作者與思想家的聲音，層層展開關於母職、身體、照護、創作與社會期待的複雜討論。這不只是一本談母親的書，更是一部重新審視藝術史、性別政治與創作自由的深刻之作。 A comprehensive, intersectional and transhistorical meditation on depictions of motherhood in art, from the Middle Ages to today Published with Centraal Museum, Utrecht and Nest, The Hague. Rooted in the visual arts, this book gathers a multitude of voices on the theme of motherhood. Though central to the core of all life, the topic of motherhood has long been relegated to the private domain. Within the art world, depictions of motherhood have also been fraught. From the Middle Ages to the 20th century, Mary was depicted as the "primal mother." Mothers were idealized in Western art, often as women who sacrifice themselves for the good of their children. Moreover, these idealized depictions were usually made by men. In modern and contemporary art, motherhood has been considered trivial and insignificant, not a subject for great art. Artist Lise Halle Baggesen, in her extensive art project Mothernism, describes a "mother-shaped hole" a black hole in the history of art when it comes to the depiction of maternal care. To this day, that cliché is still largely transmitted to female artists in art school. Young women artists often receive the message that they should not make "womb art" and that motherhood is not an interesting theme for good art. As an artist with a womb, you are often told to choose between artistry and motherhood because both require a full commitment which would make them incompatible.Following the format of the previously published On the Necessity of Gardening, Mothering Myths starts from the same base: an abecedary intersected by longer essays. The abecedarium gathers fragments of shorter texts that together offer a layered and wide-ranging perspective on the meaning of motherhood, including selections by Tracey Emin, Paul B. Preciado, Sheila Heti, Angela Davis, Simone de Beauvoir, Anne Sexton, Louise Bourgeois, Julie Phillips, Hettie Judah, Maggie Nelson, Linda Nochlin, Susan Griffin, Silvia Federici, Sinéad Gleeson, James Baldwin, Nick Cave, Audre Lorde, Élisabeth Badinter, Sarah Jaffe, Ocean Vuong, Elena Ferrante, Jane Lazarre, Torrey Peters and Rachel Cusk.This book was published in conjunction with Centraal Museum, Utrecht Nest, The Hague.
