Abstract

Abstract:In Gordon Browne's illustrations for L. T. Meade's The Sorceress of the Strand, images of female victims and a male detective reflect cultural stereotypes of women as both beauty-obsessed consumers and beautiful objects of visual consumption. The illustrations mirror the consumeristic objectification behind the Strand's advertisements, which use images of women's bodies to market beauty products. Depictions of the detective's scrutinizing gaze, the villain's domestic intrusion, and victims' responses complicate the serial's implicit argument about women's status as passive consumers; they prompt women readers to resist objectification by turning their own critical gaze upon a culture of obsessive consumption.

形象、消费主义和新女性:戈登·布朗为《斯特兰德的女巫》绘制的插图
摘要:在戈登·布朗为L·T·米德的《斯特兰德的女巫》绘制的插图中,女性受害者和男性侦探的形象反映了文化对女性的刻板印象,即女性既是痴迷于美的消费者,又是视觉消费的美丽对象。这些插图反映了斯特兰德广告背后的消费客体化,这些广告使用女性身体的图像来营销美容产品。对侦探仔细观察的凝视、反派的家庭入侵和受害者反应的描述,使该系列关于女性被动消费者地位的隐含论点复杂化;它们促使女性读者通过将自己的批判性眼光转向痴迷消费的文化来抵制物化。
