This dissertation explores how the Mapplethorpe Controversy-a term used here to signify the broader curatorial, artistic, intellectual, political and social issues that led to and arose out of the now notorious 1989 retrospective, Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Moment-changed photography. I situate the controversy as a flashpoint within the Culture Wars and explore how institutions explicitly and implicitly create and circulate myths. I argue that the Mapplethorpe Controversy, along with the intense political and public responses in Congress, the national media, Supreme Court and academic press indicate that at stake was not the art, per se, but the deep-seated social fears posed by the bodies, real and imaginary, represented in this art and their explicit relationship to the terms of alternative identity politics and its potential disruption to the traditional social order.This dissertation contributes to the existent scholarship that surrounds Robert Mapplethorpe and his work and uses the controversy it generated as an anchor for exploring questions about the social and political stakes of cultural representation. What does American culture look like? What should it look like? Who does American culture represent and who should it represent? These were the questions of the Mapplethorpe Controversy, the questions of the Culture Wars. They are the questions we face. What the Mapplethorpe Controversy exposed was that art participates in public life and "art people"-artists, critics, art historians, curators-must acknowledge rather than deny this exchange.
