*yawn*

decided to skip vermeer. and jump to manet. not that i dont like vermeer. the girl with the pearl earring--will continue to adore even tho it's becoming increasingly over-rated.

so. onto modernity and the spaces of feminity...

" investment in the look is not as pirvileged in women as in men. more than other senses, the eye objectifies and masters. it sets at a distance, and maintains a distance. in our culture the predominance of the look over smell, taste, touch and hearing has brought about an impoverishment of bodily relations. the moment the look dominates, the body loses its materiality."

agree?
disagree?
a necessity?
or just plain bullshit?
