Lecture on Feminism and Aesthetics by Dr. Christine Battersby

By the end of the nineteenth century, it had become a cliché to assert with Cesare Lombroso in The Man of Genius (1863): “there are no women of genius; the women of genius are men”. How could that have happened? And to what extent do such assumptions continue to operate today? In this talk Dr. Christine Battersby examines the roots of our modern notion of genius, and uncover the complex biases against women that have helped shaped modern understandings of human brilliance. These days, the debates about the cultural attainments of women carry on, even when the term “genius” is not explicitly used. Many of the same issues get displaced onto the language of “creativity” and “originality”, and other related terms which sound simply descriptive, but which incorporate within them the past history of assumptions about who is—and who is not—a “genius”.
