The contested and the poetic : gender and the body
No full textThe scope of this chapter is to show that bodily representation in late 20th century
Maltese poetry varies along gender lines as poets of both sexes have treated the
male and female body differently by hiding the former and exposing the latter.
While male writers, more often than not, valued femininity and the female body by
conferring to it attributes of beauty and myth, they left the male body (especially
their own) concealed in a subconscious effort to protect masculinity and male
power. Although their female counterparts adopted a different attitude towards the
female body (including their own) by presenting a less constructed and more
authentic body, they likewise kept the male body hidden by giving only scant
details or projecting it as inaccessible. The invisibility of the male body, however,
is betrayed by the male writers’ frequent references to the phallus (which becomes
a synecdoche for male power and masculinity) and to their sexual avidity. An
interesting exception is the representation of the sacred Christian bodies. In this
case the writers’ attitude is somewhat reversed for it is the Madonna’s (female and
very feminine) body which escapes depiction, whereas Jesus’s body is
continuously exposed and portrayed. These observations will be compared and
contrasted to examples from visual culture, drawing mainly on gaze theory, with
particular reference to the feminist school of thought. The classic theory of male
gaze advanced by theorists such as John Berger (art) and Laura Mulvey (cinema)
will be revisited in the light of recent social and cultural phenomena, which have
started to seriously question the claim of the agency of the male gaze with all its
consequences on the representation of the body.peer-reviewe

Rapa Nui (Easter Island)’s Stone Worlds
No full textThis article explores the spatial, architectural and conceptual relationships between landscape places, stone quarrying, and stone moving and building during Rapa Nui’s statue-building period. These are central themes of the ‘Rapa Nui Landscapes of Construction Project’ and are discussed using aspects of the findings of our recent fieldwork. The different scales of expression, from the detail of the domestic sphere to the monumental working of quarries, are considered. It is suggested that the impressiveness of Rapa Nui’s stone architecture is its conceptual coherence at the small scale as much as at the large scale. </div

Set in Stone
No full textThis article explores how and why the fifteenth-century Venetian painter, Carlo Crivelli (1430/5-c. 1494), signed his pictures. Until recently, Crivelli’s work has received comparatively little critical attention; this is ironic given that he was acutely aware of his reputation and artistic legacy, an awareness that is expressed through his signatures. Whether carved into fractured stone, or emblazoned in gold on an affixed label, Crivelli’s signatures contemplate his role as a creator of religious images that would outlive him. While the carved inscription signifies permanence and durability, labels, sometimes crumpled and appearing as if about to fall away, suggest transience and ephemerality
