{"product_id":"bodies-and-maps-maryanne-cline-horowitz-9789004387904","title":"Bodies and Maps: Early Modern Personifications of the Continents","description":"Since antiquity, artists have visualized the known world through the female (sometimes male) body. In the age of exploration, America was added to figures of Europe, Asia, and Africa who would come to inhabit the borders of geographical visual imagery. In the abundance of personifications in print, painting, ceramics, tapestry, and sculpture, do portrayals vary between hierarchy and global human dignity? Are we witnessing the emergence of ethnography or of racism? Yet, as this volume shows, depictions of bodies as places betray the complexity of human claims and desires. \u003ci\u003eBodies and Maps: Early Modern Personifications of the Continents \u003c\/i\u003e opens up questions about early modern politics, travel literature, sexualities, gender, processes of making, and the mobility of forms and motifs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contributors are: Louise Arizzoli, Elisa Daniele, Hilary Haakenson, Elizabeth Horodowich, Maryanne Cline Horowitz, Ann Rosalind Jones, Paul H.
