Summary
In readings of the "boring parts" of Moby Dick, the role of women in Andy Warhol's films, the scandals surrounding Thomas Eakins, and other unlikely texts, Doyle (English, U. of California, Riverside) challenges simplistic readings of sexualized art. She weaves together anecdotal and personal writing with critical, feminist, and queer theory to re-imagine the relationship between sex and art and to reveal the diversity of sex in art.
