Fragonard and the Fantasy Figure Painting the Imagination

A fresh interpretation of the group of Fragonard’s paintings known as the ’figures de fantaisie’ Fragonard and the Fantasy Figure: Painting the Imagination reconnects the fantasy figures with neglected visual traditions in European art and firmly situates them within the cultural and aesthetic contexts of eighteenth-century France. Prior scholarship has focused on the paintings’ connections with portraiture whereas this study relocates them within a tradition of fantasy figures where resemblance was ignored or downplayed. The book defines Fragonard as a painter of the imagination and foregrounds the imaginary at a time when Enlightenment rationalism and Classical aesthetics contrived to delimit the imagination. The book unravels scholarly writing on these Fragonard paintings and examines the history of the fantasy figure from early modern Europe to eighteenth-century France. Emerging from this background is a view of Fragonard turning away from the academically sanctioned ’invention’ towards more playful variants of the imaginary: fantasy and caprice. Melissa Percival demonstrates how fantasy figures engage both artists and viewers allowing artists to unleash their imagination through displays of virtuosity and viewers to use their imagination to explore the paintings’ unusual juxtapositions and humour. | Fragonard and the Fantasy Figure Painting the Imagination

Philosophical Reflections on Mothering in Trauma

Philosophical Reflections on Mothering in Trauma examines the lived experience of mothering children who have been seriously harmed by others. Using an interdisciplinary approach that employs a feminist phenomenology and an emphasis on narrative theory this ground-breaking work gives voice to experiences of trauma and of mothering not ordinarily heard in philosophical discourses. With a philosophical lens Melissa Burchard examines the challenges faced by families during the adoption and parenting of abused children. In doing so Burchard argues that the investigation of traumatic experience poses questions that philosophers must address if we are to improve collective understanding of the human condition. These questions centre around the epistemological implications of traumatic experience the role of power and privilege in abusive relationships and the interconnected issues of morality and moral agency in trauma problematic desires engendered in traumatic circumstances and therapeutic responses to trauma. The book expresses ways in which mothering wounded children can if we are deeply engaged and reflective shift our understandings of what it means to be parents to be children to love to know to construct a self to feel desire to nurture to coerce and to live in the ambiguity of not knowing which decisions are right and which are wrong.
