An impressive and ambitious collection of essays, global in scope, which break exciting new ground on the subject of intimate interiors in the 18th century and how they functioned as a locus of meaning.

Melissa Hyde, Professor of Art History and Distinguished Teaching Scholar, University of Florida, USA

<i>Intimate Interiors</i> represents a significant contribution to eighteenth-century scholarship. Exploring several case studies from different geographies, the volume provides a variety of methodologies and critical perspective that goes far beyond specific subjects.

Miriam Cera, Associate Professor of Art History, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain

Ranging impressively across the eighteenth-century world, from colonial Peru to the early United States, and from continental Europe to the West African kingdom of Dahomey, this fascinating volume exposes the era’s new sites of intimacy and secrecy as unexpected places of governance, power, and control.

Kristel Smentek, Associate Professor of Art History, Department of Architecture, MIT, USA

A desire for intimacy in domestic spaces – motivated by a growing sense of individualistic expression, an incentive to conceal the labor or enslavement taking place, and an appetite for solace and comfort – led to interiors taking on more specific roles in the eighteenth century. By examining the architectural, visual, and material culture of eighteenth-century spaces, Intimate Interiors foregrounds the interrelated concepts of intimacy, privacy, informality, and sociability in order to show how these ideas played an increasingly integral role in the period’s architectural and material design.Across eleven innovative chapters that explore issues of gender, politics, travel, exoticism, imperialism, sensorial experiences, identity, interiority, and modernity, this volume demonstrates how intimacy was a fundamental goal in the planning of private quarters. In doing so, the political nature of private spaces is uncovered, whilst highlighting the contradictions and complexities of these highly performative “private” interiors. Employing distinct methodological perspectives across various geographical sites, from Turkey to Versailles, Britain to Benin, Intimate Interiors draws as-yet untraced connections between Enlightenment Europe, imperial outposts, and major metropolitan centers across the globe.

This book considers various forms of intimate spaces in the global 18th century to address themes of privacy, informality, domesticity, gender, power, authority, and sociability across different cultures and sites.
Les mer
Features innovative scholarly approaches, with a global emphasis, to an understudied topic
Material Culture of Art and Design is devoted to scholarship that brings art history into dialogue with interdisciplinary material culture studies. The material components of an object–its medium and physicality–are key to understanding its cultural significance. Material culture has stretched the boundaries of art history and emphasized new points of contact with other disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, consumer and mass culture studies, the literary movement called “Thing Theory,” and materialist philosophy. Material Culture of Art and Design seeks to publish studies that explore the relationship between art and material culture in all of its complexity. The series is a venue for scholars to explore specific object histories (or object biographies, as the term has developed), studies of medium and the procedures for making works of art, and investigations of art’s relationship to the broader material world that comprises society. It seeks to be the premiere venue for publishing scholarship about works of art as exemplifications of material culture.The series encompasses material culture in its broadest dimensions, including the decorative arts (furniture, ceramics, metalwork, textiles), everyday objects of all kinds (toys, machines, musical instruments), and studies of the familiar high arts of painting and sculpture. The series welcomes proposals for monographs, thematic studies, and edited collections.
