Photo by Ali Ali/EPA. Via No Caption Needed.

I really enjoy No Caption Needed, both as a source of remarkable images and as a source of useful perspective on those images — the latter quality being by far the more scarce in the blogosphere.

However, I wasn’t entirely sure what to make of this passage from a recent blog post about the photograph above:

Read this. It´s good.

Between the 15th and 17th centuries, the birth of modernity in Europe with its ‘rational’, enlightened thinking positioned the corporeal female body within the realm of nature and therefore the ‘irrational’, while all things male were placed into the realm of culture and the rational. Before the European South Atlantic slave trade, the rise of capitalism, and the period of colonialism that followed it, the bleeding female body was understood as a source of power and strength, and menstruation was celebrated in Europe as elsewhere. For instance, in pre-modern pagan European cultures, and in pre-modern Tamil Nadu (present day South India), the aesthetic of the bleeding female form was revered and celebrated.[5] However, once the gender/ sex binary was born and spread across the globe via the slave trade and colonialism, a fundamental shift from woman-positive, matriarchal cultures to patriarchal and heterosexist cultures is traceable, and the bleeding female body becomes a source of contamination, an unhygienic body that must be relegated to private spaces. Modernity and Westernization took the bleeding female body out of the public arena of collective celebration and ritual, and banished it not only to visual and intellectual obscurity, but also to collective cultural secrecy.

Zanele Muholi is a photographer and activist whose work explores issues of black women’s sexuality in post-apartheid South Africa. Muholi’s images raise issues such as hate crime, HIV/Aids, gender dissidence, performativity and passing.
