Abstract: In this text, drawn from the first chapter of her book Differencing the Canon (1999), Griselda Pollock proposes a true research programme to reconsider the history of art as a discipline. While being based in particular on work of the philosopher and psychoanalyst Sarah Kofman, and on the research undertaken by the feminist theoreticians of art for thirty years, she considers the role that feminism, gender and post-colonial studies have had and can still have in the redefinition of the both andro and ethno-centered “canon”, which always structures our appreciation of creation and the figure of “the” creator, through the artistic disciplines and cultural institutions.
