Molinaro, County Executive, Dutchess County As Dutchess County enters her 301st year of de- mocracy, we look back on three centuries of local achievements. Among the significant anniversaries this year is the Dutchess County Historical Soci- ety’s centennial, a landmark event that reminds us of our deep historical roots and the bright future we are building upon them. The society’s achieve- ments over the past hundred years mirror those of the county as a whole, as does the society’s prom- ise for future excellence. Through its on-going programs and many contributions, the Dutchess County Historical Society has worked to define who we are as a people and how we hope to live. Since its inception, the Dutchess County Historical Society has been an in- spirational model for preserving and promoting our community heritage. Through the collection of irreplaceable documents and artifacts that show- case daily life in the county and sharing the stories these items tell through exhibits, tours, and other programming, the society has kept memories of old Dutchess alive. We continue to follow this example today with projects such as our Dutchess County Government Exhibit on the 6th Floor of the County Office Building at 22 Market Street in Poughkeepsie. One of the society’s most outstanding achievements over the past hundred years has been the continuous publication of the Dutchess County Histor- ical Society Yearbook. Few history organizations nationwide can compete with that record, adding to the list of unique and innovative achievements that have long issued forth from Dutchess County. The Yearbook and the society’s look back over its first hundred years further reminds us that we are making history today. What we achieve in the present and the marks we leave on our community now are tomorrow’s history and lay the ground- work and example for future excellence. Just as the society now considers the lessons of its first hundred years and looks to the future, so do we as a county community re-invest in our past achievements and set the stage for future excellence. Our recent renovation M9214 DCHS 100214.indb 12 10/7/14 3:55 PM TITLE xiii of Dutchess Stadium continues a twenty year commitment to providing affordable family entertainment to our community. Our continuing trans- formation of county government is creating a model of new efficiency through workforce enhancement and the creation of unique new solutions to today’s challenges. As we move forward together as a county communi- ty, we insure that the Dutchess County Historical Society will have plenty of history to document and celebrate at its bicentennial. After

    Women Surrealists: Sexuality, Fetish, Femininity and Female Surrealism

    WOMEN SURREALISTS: SEXUALITY, FETISH, FEMININITY AND FEMALE SURREALISM BY SABINA DANIELA STENT A Thesis Submitted to THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music The University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The objective of this thesis is to challenge the patriarchal traditions of Surrealism by examining the topic from the perspective of its women practitioners. Unlike past research, which often focuses on the biographical details of women artists, this thesis provides a case study of a select group of women Surrealists – chosen for the variety of their artistic practice and creativity – based on the close textual analysis of selected works. Specifically, this study will deal with names that are familiar (Lee Miller, Meret Oppenheim, Frida Kahlo), marginal (Elsa Schiaparelli) or simply ignored or dismissed within existing critical analyses (Alice Rahon). The focus of individual chapters will range from photography and sculpture to fashion, alchemy and folklore. By exploring subjects neglected in much orthodox male Surrealist practice, it will become evident that the women artists discussed here created their own form of Surrealism, one that was respectful and loyal to the movement’s founding principles even while it playfully and provocatively transformed them.
