I contend that the monograph is a masculinized form of writing that needs to be recast. What follows is a meditation on how to rethink the discursive form of the monograph and what is entailed in this rethinking as a feminist. Many, I suspect, have eschewed this “mix-and-stir” recipe, since evidently few have pursued the monograph as a viable approach to writing art history from a feminist vantage point, especially about the work of women artists (Mary Garrard's monograph on Artemisia Gentileschi is an obvious exception). ― 200 ― CODEX SPERO RETHINKING THE MONOGRAPH AS A FEMINIST AMY INGRID SCHLEGELįeminist art historians are by now well aware that the revisionist notions of rediscovery and recontextualization imply an insertion of women artists into the existing canon and not a reconceptualization of its rules.
