Orientalism, Eroticism and Modern Visuality in Global Cultures by Joan Delplato
Looking at representations of nineteenth-century 'oriental' bodies, inquiring deeply into their erotic dimensions, tracing their global dissemination at cross-cultural intersections of the visual and the political. This book examines orientalism's politico-erotic import across not only imperial Britain and France but also throughout India.
’This is an important workAn admirably learned, focused, nuanced volume that follows a theme that is central, but rarely examined in-depth, through a fascinating variety of cultural and geographic locales-from Morocco to India. It should be read by anyone interested in artistic Orientalism and Exoticism, or the complexity and variety of desires they engage.’ Frederick N. Bohrer, Hood College, author of Orientalism and Visual Culture
