Really love the figure vs body question! Reminds me (somewhat randomly) of a chapter on Artemesia Gentileschi in Griselda Pollock’s Differencing the Canon where she locates a feminist art historical aesthetic in the different ways that lines contain the bodies of women’s figures (vs the conventional reclining nude, etc)
a delicious read! i've watched show girls for the first time recently and was very intrigued by its excess, comical, sexual agressiveness. i'm particularly stoked by movies that push these boundaries of reality/absurd too and it was a delight to read about it.
also, i absolutely loved the idea of a media agenda, i gotta try this out. (michelle, i'm wishing you all the luck in this new moment of life!! <3)

And my Akosua q&a question is: is there an academic project that you are currently working on, planning, or especially excited about?
I thought of you when Michelle told me about this book! Going to look up differencing the canon too
