The works presented in Altered Gazes offer a response both to mainstream society and to the male-dominated countercultural spaces in which they were created. Through small-press and self-published materials—from the aforementioned zines and comics to marijuana cookbooks, musical recordings, and sexually explicit magazines and films—women repurpose the styles and subjects of popular culture to express themselves, to comment on gender roles, and to educate their own communities. Although underground comics, X-rated publications, and popular music have often objectified and marginalized female participants, this exhibition highlights instances where women take charge of the gaze, creating culture instead of merely consuming it. Research Librarian of the Week: ** George E. Clark Headshot of man with glasses wearing yellow jacket ------------------------------------------------------------ (reach him at enviro(a)fas.harvard.edu) What is your area of focus in the library? On what subjects do you offer research consultations? Sustainability, environmental studies, water resources, natural disasters and hazards, social aspects of environmental problems, climate change, technology assessment, conflict, energy, geography, agriculture, government publications, regulations, maps, data, roots music, anything really. What is your favorite TV show? Happy Valley, the one where Sarah Lancashire plays a cop in Yorkshire, England. Not the one about Penn State's crisis. Can you list a couple of your favorite books? Patrick O'Brian (Master and Commander, etc., remember the Russell Crowe movie where he's a ship captain?) Kim Stanley Robinson (Antarctica, Mars Series, the "Science in the Capital" series) What is your favorite library at Harvard and why? Harvard Map Library. Maps are cool and I'm a geographer. What is a fun fact about you that people might not know? I have a ham radio license. I play a little bit of the Dobro (resonator guitar). I'm trying to learn Danish. What is one place beyond Harvard Square you would recommend that students visit and why? 1) Revere Beach, a good public beach on the T. Revere Beach stop. Or Wonderland stop if you want to hit Kelly's Roast Beef for a lobstah roll. 2) Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum--world class art in a funky old setting, near Harvard Medical School. 3) Boston Pizza Tours. (https://harvard.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda0ccd00b6d7270a8c9448f…) Seriously. 4) Warren Tavern in Charlestown.
