Rose. Une couleur aux proses avec le genre.
BOOK REVIEW
Keywords:
Book review, pink, gender studiesAbstract
Kevin Bideaux is a French artist with a master's degree in fine arts from the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and a doctorate in arts and gender studies from the Université Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis. Pink is his magnificent obsession: involved in gender studies and a member of the Laboratory of Gender and Sexuality Studies, he has colored his own body, his environment, and his artwork pink.
Who better than he could have written the cultural and symbolic history of pink in relation to gender and sexuality, race, and social class? The book is dense, encyclopedic, and analytical, based on extensive written and visual documentation. A truly interesting book that I recommend reading: 527 pages, 240 iconographic references, and 568 accurate bibliographic references.
In addition to the brief Prologue, the book is divided into 9 chapters, of which I will try to sketch a very brief thematic summary, which cannot convey the cultural richness of the chapters themselves.
