Why Embracing Frivolity Might Be the Most Serious Act of All: A Provocative Take by Jehanne Dubrow
Dubrow seats her insights within the writings and theory of other artists, writers, academics, and thinkers. In talking about the gendered nature of frivolity, she references art critic and writer John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, noting his observations of the unkind ways that women are viewed while, she notes, “Men’s passions are taken seriously.” Untangling our cultural and societal norms around the frivolous, Dubrow’s verbal webbing is taut, which helps the reader to follow her associations and forge their own connections.
