Sally Stein – Migrant Mother, Migrant Gender
Sally Stein reconsiders Dorothea Lange’s iconic portrait of maternity and modern emblem of family values in light of Lange’s long overlooked ‘Padonna’ pictures and proposes that ‘Migrant Mother’ should in fact be seen as a disruptive image of women’s conflictual relation to home, and the world. Stein is an American academic and cultural theorist living in Los Angeles. The interrelated topics she most often engages concern the multiple effects of documentary imagery, the politics of gender, and the status and meaning of black and white and colour imagery on our perceptions, beliefs, even actions as consumers and citizens.
D I S C O U R S E is a new series of accessibly priced books in which a cultural theorist, curator or artist will explore a theme, an artwork or an idea in an illustrated text of up to 10,000 words.
128 pages, 13 x 17 cm, paperback, MACK (London).
