Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lynda Nead, "British Blonde: Women, Desire and the Image in Post-War Britain" (Yale UP, 2025)
Q: Can we discuss maybe the ways in which going blonde was seen as or was actually a way to achieve social mobility in this context of post-war Britain?
Post-war blondes often came from working class backgrounds, and blonde glamour provided a pathway to improve themselves and camouflage their class origins.
Lynda Nead, "British Blonde: Women, Desire and the Image in Post-War Britain" (Yale UP, 2025)
Q: Can we discuss in more detail how, when and why we end up with the blonde becoming British?
My focus is on the post-war years in Britain, examining the impact of Hollywood and the significance of blonde representation in British culture.
Lynda Nead, "British Blonde: Women, Desire and the Image in Post-War Britain" (Yale UP, 2025)
Q: Could you start us off by introducing yourself a little bit and tell us why you decided to write this book?
I'm a professor of history of art, I teach at the Courtauld. My interests span gender, sexuality, and the history of visual culture in the 20th century, leading me to explore blonde women in British culture.
Mariana Ortega, "Carnalities: The Art of Living in Latinidad" (Duke UP, 2024)
Q: And will you talk about auto arte and about carnal crossings?
I think it's important to understand auto arte. Anzaldua uses art in order to name herself, in order to survive and to transform herself.
Mariana Ortega, "Carnalities: The Art of Living in Latinidad" (Duke UP, 2024)
Q: How do you get us past the eye? Why start at the eye and then, how do you get us past it?
It is indeed a prelude... the eye being the main medium through which we can get to the light and basically to truth.
