amamblog: This fall, students in Professor of Comparative American Studies Wendy Kozol’s course “Visible Bodies and the Politics of Sexuality” curated an online exhibition titled “Capturing the Body: Ownership and Resistance in Visual Culture” using works drawn from the holdings of the AMAM and the Oberlin College Libraries. This exhibition was conceived as a virtual counterpart to the AMAM’s fall 2015 exhibition, “The Body: Looking In and Looking Out,” which was organized with curatorial assistance from Professor Kozol, and can be viewed here. “Capturing the Body” focuses on artistic representation that uses the body to explore questions about identity, power, and oppression.Image:Lesley Dill (American, b. 1950)The Poetic Body: Dress, 1992Lithograph, letterpress, and collageRuth C.
