Dr. Maria Weilandt: Already the picture or just the frame? Designs of 'the Parisian' in the 19th century

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 looks at stereotypical representations of 'the Parisian woman' from a literary and art comparative perspective and evaluates them as an ensemble of interwoven narratives. This is because the figure not only appears in literary texts and works of art, but also advertises Parisian department store culture or stands for an intersectional concept of nation, for example in the context of the 1900 World's Fair.

As part of the lecture Paris, Cultural Capital of the 19th Century by PD Dr. Bettina Lindorfer.
