Barbara Heath

2017 · Book · Koleksi Perpustakaan

For more than 30 years, contemporary Australian jeweller and designer Barbara Heath has explored the complex connections between maker and wearer. Since 1990, Heath has assisted many clients on a journey to locate jewels that speak to them, leading her to assume the epithet 'Jeweller to the Lost'. Heath's talents find expression not just in wearables but also in jewellery 'off the body' - small sculptural objects, love tokens and large-scale installations. Richly illustrated, Barbara Heath: Jeweller to the Lost explores the artist's distinctive lexicon of icons, jewellery inspired by architectural devices and forms imbued with personal narratives. It features images of Heath's life and work, incorporates excerpts from her journals and provides a unique insight into her approach to creating contemporary jewellery.

The Monstrous-feminine

2017 · Book · Koleksi Perpustakaan

In almost all critical writings on the horror film, woman is conceptualized only as victim. In The Monstrous-Feminine, Barbara Creed challenges the mythical patriarchal view that woman terrifies because she is castrated, by arguing that woman primarily terrifies because of a fear that she might castrate. With close reference to a number of classic horror films including Alien, The Brood, The Hunger, Carrie, The Exorcist, Sisters, I Spit on Your Grave and Psycho, she presents a sustained analysis of the seven faces of the monstrous-feminine from a feminist and psychoanalytic perspective, discussing woman as monster in relation to woman as archaic mother, monstrous womb, vampire, witch, possessed body, monstrous mother and castrator. Her argument disrupts Freudian and Lacanian theories of sexual difference, as well as existing theories of spectatorship and fetishism in relation to the male and female gaze in the cinema, to provide a challenging and provocative re-reading of classical and contemporary film and theoretical texts.
