AS LONG AS IT’S PINK: THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF TASTE (2010 EDITION)
Book ID/图书代码： 03540009B31532
English Summary/英文概要： Why do car manufacturers use paisley interiors to sell their products to women, and does it work? Is women’s taste really different to men’s? Who says so? And does it matter? In this highly original book Penny Sparke uses familiar objects of our everyday environments - furniture, cars and domestic appliances and interiors - to look at how taste has become a gendered issue in our culture. Ever since the industrial revolution, the cluttered interior has been associated with femininity while the minimal forms of modernist architecture have acted as markers of a masculine aesthetic. As Long as It’s Pink argues that ’taste’ has been a quality assigned to women while ’design’ is a man-made construction which has taken aesthetic authority away from women. This in turn has succeeded in trivializing and marginalizing women’s material culture. Ranging across histories of domesticity, feminine consumption and home-making, as well as modern design and broader cultural theories, Penny Sparke offers a completely new version of the history of our modern material culture.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 为何汽车制造商采用佩斯理印花内饰以将产品销售给女性，这样做管用吗？女性的品味真的和男性有不同吗？谁这么说的？这有影响吗？佩妮•斯巴克的这本高度原创书籍选用我们在日常环境中熟悉的家具、汽车、家用电器和内饰，看看我们的文化中，品味是怎么成了一个性别区分的概念。自从工业革命后，复杂的室内和女性联系在了一起，而小型现代主义建筑成为了男性审美的印记。
本书讨论了“品味”是赋予女性的特质，“设计”却是男性领域，这个矛盾把女性从美学权威中剔除掉了。这反过来又淡化和边缘化了女性物质文化。从家庭生活，女性消费和家政的历史，还有现代设计和更广阔范畴上的文化理论，佩妮•斯巴克提出了一个全新的审视当代物质文化史的视角。(LNL)
