Dr. Maria Weilandt: Is It the Painting Itself, or Just the Frame? Depictions of “the Parisian Woman” in the 19th Century
Poster on the occasion of the lecture “The Image Itself or Merely the Frame? Portrayals of ‘the Parisian Woman’ in the 19th Century” by Dr. Maria Weilandt (Potsdam) on December 10, 2024, at the Faculty SLK at TU Dresden.
Dr. Maria Weilandt is a Research Associate at the Chair of General and Comparative Literature at the University of Potsdam. She was a fellow in the DFG Research Training Group 1539, “Visibility and Visualization: Hybrid Forms of Visual Knowledge.”
In her lecture, she examined stereotypical depictions of “the Parisian woman” from a comparative literary and artistic perspective and interpreted them as an ensemble of interwoven narratives.
For this figure not only appears in literary texts and works of art, but also promotes Parisian department store culture or, for example in the context of the 1900 World’s Fair, embodies an intersectional concept of nation.
As part of the lecture series “Paris, Cultural Capital of the 19th Century” by PD Dr. Bettina Lindorfer.
