“Why have there been no great women artists?” asked American art historian Linda Nochlin in a landmark 1971 essay.

Four decades later, her question still stands: while a handful of Western female painters, sculptors, and performance artists – Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois, Marina Abramovic – have achieved the same level of fame as their male counterparts, the West’s elite art world continues to be dominated by male artists, curators, dealers, and collectors.

Look elsewhere around the globe, however, and women are thriving in some of the most dynamic up-and-coming art scenes. They’re even achieving widespread success in a country not exactly known for women’s rights: Pakistan. Female artists from the developing Muslin nation have been recently feted in exhibits like last year’s Hanging Fire at New York’s Asia Society and the Fukuoka Asian Art Triennial in Japan [...]

De acordo com o texto, Linda Nochlin

 Professor Robert Park of the University of Maryland has launched an attack on the popular image of scientists as shown by movies and television. Scientists, he says, are generally portrayed as forgetful, short-sighted and even crazy.

The professor is right, of course. Though there have been a few serious attempts to treat scientists with respect, the model for most movie scientists remains the screen version of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Brilliant man, of course, but so obsessed with making a monstrous Boris Karloff from spare body parts that he seems quite unconcerned by what his awful creation is likely to get up to.

Frankenstein had even madder movie contemporaries. There was Dr. Moreau, whose speciality was genetics: his laboratory was an island of creatures that were half animal and half human.
