Such a term would be similar to, yet with a slightly different spin, than something like "primitivism in art" which encompasses, to some degree, the intellectual act of marginalization wrapped up in some sort of colonial-based thought honoring/objectifying the "primitive."PPBPeter BlankPhotography Curator, EmeritusStanford University Libraries650.561.2392 CellFrom: ARLIS/NA List <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Alger, Jeff [LIB] <[log in to unmask]>

Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] Terminology suggestions: Art from "marginalized" communitiesI agree wholeheartedly with Janine. We need to think about what we would use as search terms to find "art by women artists", "folk art traditions", etc. Marginalized is a problem, not the solution, to be blunt.Jeff AlgerLibrarian III, Subject Liaison for Design and MusicUniversity Library701 Morrill Rd | 150 Parks LibraryIowa State UniversityFrom: ARLIS/NA List <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Janine Henri <[log in to unmask]>

Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] Terminology suggestions: Art from "marginalized" communitiesOh dear, please don’t use “marginalized” to describe these topics! Why would one consider non-Western art as marginalized? Or folk art traditions? Or Art by women artists, etc? And why group them together into a category? Why can’t each of these subjects stand on their on? If they all need to be on the same guide couldn’t the guide just be for “Special Topics” or “Selected Topics?”Janine HenriEmerita Librarian,UCLA(Full disclosure, my spouse taught a full range of Asian Art History courses for years and always incorporated folk traditions on his syllabi for the introductory courses on art of India and Southeast Asia, or art of China, or art of Japan. And my own graduate work focused on Islamic art of India.)Sent from my iPhoneOn Apr 11, 2023, at 4:58 PM, Odlevak, Janine <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Hello all - This may be a simple question to answer:In working with my community college, art survey instructor to re-develop the IL component in their courses, we plan to set an annotated bib. assignment for which we'll create a Guide.The guide name at present is "Art of Marginalized Communities."Question:Is there a term art librarians and historians prefer instead ofmarginalized?I didn't see marginalized in the AAT, but may not have searched it correctly.The instructor has identified the following groups to include in the guide as a starting point:
- Folk art
- Children's art
- Women
- Persons with disabilities
- LGBTQ+
- (Non-western)
Many thanks!Janine OdlevakSpokane CC Library~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
