The images included in my thesis work reflect my experience growing up with military propaganda—pictures of cheerful white women in pearls as part of my rural middle American landscape. I do not name the oppressor because I am not here to pick at the thorns, but to get to the root of the oppression. These are some of the servicewomen I’ve met. Their stories parallel but cannot encompass the private experiences of all service women. I am grateful for their generosity; without them there would be no pictures.
The battle for equality is much older than Rosie the Riveter but we still ask the same questions we asked Joan of Arc in the 15th century: if she isn’t working miracles, what is she doing on the battlefield?

This thesis explores the work of photographers: Alice Austen, Alfred Stieglitz, and Berenice Abbott in relation to the American landscape of New York from approximately 1880 through 1940. Although the artwork of Georgia O’Keeffe is not addressed specifically, her role as an artist communicating her modern self image through Stieglitz’s photography is one area of focus in the second chapter. Previous scholarship has drawn parallels between women artists and photographers solely in terms related to their gender identity. In contrast, my project identifies a common theoretical thread that links the work of these artists: namely, that photography allowed professional women of this time to react and rise above the constrictions of gender expectations, and moreover, how their own attitudes based in feminist sensibility enabled them to fashion and broadcast bold, liberated self-images. Inspired by the radical transformations of women’s social roles in the United States, each artist produced photographs that represented the evolving role of women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Using visual analysis and historical context associated with the “New Woman” movement, I argue that each artist discussed in this thesis not only challenges the domestic sphere conventionally assigned to women photographers, but also makes new strides by engaging in work that allows for them to autonomously travel within their own territories or new expansive locations. This thesis gives fresh insight as to how photography provided novel opportunities for elevating women’s place in society, as well as in the artistic realm. Overall, photography was an important tool for each artist as these three women act as agents of change by demonstrating a control of womanhood while the role of a female was beginning to become less constrained by the domestic and social norms of society.

Niles, Krista Joy. "An Arranged Deconstruction: The Feminist Art Practice of Louise Lawler." Thesis, The University of Arizona, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/565894.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the artistic production of photo artist Louise Lawler and the evolution of critical response to her work between the 1970s and 1990s. Of main concern are the manner in which early scholarship and exhibition reviews effectively situated Lawler's work within the discourse of institutional critique, a field of critical scholarship and artistic production that examines institutions of art such as museums and galleries. The objective of this thesis is to reexamine Lawler from a feminist art historical perspective using French feminist theory to investigate how her work can arguably be considered to be a feminist intervention into the patriarchal structures of museums, galleries, and connoisseurship. Lawler's dominant practice is photographic in nature, yet she does not consider herself a photographer. Like many artists of her generation Lawler has capitalized upon the indexical nature of the photographic medium, using it as a tool to create images that "document" art objects in situ. She has made her art in all the places in which artworks circulate or are displayed, be it the curated spaces of museums, an auction house or a private house, well-lit gallery show room walls or crowded and dark storage rooms. Throughout her forty-year career Lawler has worked to disrupt the patriarchy of the art world by drawing attention to philosophies of display and exhibition. She has shown us what is not on display within art systems by consistently showing us what is on display. She has refused to comply with systems or organization, crafting textual interventions that disrupt the linguistics of wall labels and titles of artworks. She has fragmented and dislocated the authorship of artists to their works, and she has appropriated curatorial practices to claim both the physical spaces of display and gain control of what objects are deemed valuable enough to be shown there. Lawler's work has consistently interrupted normative practices of art institutions, effectively disrupting the patriarchy inherent within the systems and structures to define art.

Artist Statement
My work explores themes of supernatural alternate universes and humans interaction with nature. Using the medium of photography I strive to create impossible realities, juxtaposing the real and the imagined. My work portrays mystical women interacting with surreal environments and seeks to portray the simple act of existing nature as a magical and spiritual experience.
As a female artist my work has often been criticized for being too beautiful and for this reason, void of substance. I believe that beauty has inherent value and goodness. My photos celebrate the beauty of female strength and the unmarred landscape. The mirror to me represents negative stereotypes of superficiality attributed to women female created art. Male painters and photographers thought history have become famous for portraying the passive female form. However, selfies or other images taken of women and by women are considered exercises in vanity. This series seeks to challenge that narrative.
The mirrors in my images add depth to the piece, showing a perspective one would not see otherwise. In most images the mirrors obscure the subject and reflect the environment she is in, uniting women with nature, and revealing something deeper within the subject. Photographs are taken far away from civilization and are not preplanned and are constructed without the use of elaborate technology. My practice is rooted in exploring, discovering new landscapes and new ways to photograph them. My work is notably not manipulated in photoshop. All of the seemingly impossible elements of the pieces are created in camera using mirrors and strategically placed colored camping lights. This lack of manipulation is intended to challenge the idea that images reflect unadulterated reality. It is also to contradict the idea that anything impossible must be photoshopped.
My work is influenced by magical realism as well as surrealist photography. As a female photographer working with female subjects it is important to me to escape the traditional relationship between active artist and passive subject. Each photo I take is a collaboration with my female subject as well as a collaboration with nature. Through my photos I seek to emphasize a non objectified female form as she interacts with nature and portray my subject as a magnetic and powerful force uniting in spirit with her natural environment.

Strait, Laura. "Notions of Progress: The Framing of Women in the Arab Spring." Thesis, University of Oregon, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/18494.
Full textAbstract:
The Arab Spring marked a new age of international political participation and support, facilitated by the wide circulation of imagery via social and mass media. Many in the West found themselves in ideological agreement with the political efforts of the protests, upholding the U.S. rhetorical tenets of democracy and freedom of speech. The visual framing of the Arab Spring in U.S. news media played a crucial role in forging this ideological consensus. My thesis focuses specifically on the visual framing of women in the Egyptian uprising by exploring the Western news portrayal of the presence of women in the Egyptian political sphere. In order to ground my assessment of Western perceptions, I conduct a content analysis of coverage of the Egyptian uprising protests from Getty and AP photography databases. My analysis is also supported and influenced by a rigorous theoretical foundation in framing theory, Orientalism, and postcolonial feminist theory.

Laing, Morna. "The 'woman-child' in fashion photography, 1990-2015 : childlike femininities, performativity, and reception studies." Thesis, University of the Arts London, 2016. http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/9818/.
Full textAbstract:
The childlike character of ideal femininities has long been critiqued in feminist literature, from Mary Wollstonecraft (1792) to Susan Faludi (1992). Yet, despite the partial gains of feminism the ‘woman-child’ continues to be a prominent subject-position in fashion photography of the West. This thesis builds upon earlier feminist critiques of the infantilisation of women by considering the meaning of childlike femininities in the period spanning 1990 to 2015. In particular, it questions whether representations of childlike femininities can shed their dehumanising, ‘second sex’ connotations and be resignified to a more progressive end in the contemporary context. The possible appeal of ‘girly’ subject-positions to women, following several waves of feminism, is explored through reception studies carried out with female participants in focus groups, as well as theory on the ‘female gaze’. Images were principally drawn from three British fashion magazines: Vogue (UK), i-D, and Lula. Drawing on the work of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, this thesis demonstrates the ways in which discourses on childhood, girlhood and womanhood overlap and intersect to produce the figure of the ‘woman-child’ in the fashion media and beyond. This subject-position is shown not to be singular but rather as appearing in a number of guises. The many permutations of childlike femininity are subsumed into four overarching categories: the Romantic woman-child; the femme-enfant-fatale; Lolita style; and the Parodic woman-child. This thesis thereby contributes to existing debates in fashion studies by considering in greater detail the different discourses on childhood and femininity that come into play when women are positioned as childlike. A multi-faceted visual methodology is employed, combining visual analysis of imagery with experimental reception studies. Reception studies were conducted in focus groups with female participants and provide insight into the way these women made sense of the ‘woman-child’. In addition, they provide an indication as to whether the participants liked or disliked childlike femininities in the fashion media, thus pointing to the possible investments women might have in childlike subject-positions. Finally, including an element of social research served to challenge and/or reinforce the researcher’s own readings of the imagery, pointing to new avenues of research and expanding the discursive field of enquiry. This aspect of the thesis makes a methodological contribution to literature on the reception of still media imagery in fashion studies, magazine studies and feminist media studies.

Garrie, Barbara Anne Christina. "(Dis)Orientation: Identity, Landscape and Embodiment in the work of Roni Horn." Thesis, University of Canterbury. Art History and Theory, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/7307.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the links between identity and landscape in key works by American artist Roni Horn, focusing on a selection of her photo-installations and books. In particular it argues that Horn approaches landscape as a performative category through which to address the performativity of identity, and that in doing so her work privileges the viewer as an embodied participant. Drawing on a feminist approach grounded in phenomenology, the thesis locates androgyny as a key structuring principle in the artist’s work. Identifying herself as neither male nor female, Horn employs the notion of in-between-ness to negotiate gender binaries of male/female and to describe the indeterminate and contingent nature of androgynous being. Importantly, the thesis argues that Horn addresses these issues of identity by staging experiences in her work that invite the viewer to perform the very processes by which identity is defined and played out. This strategy is examined through concepts of doubling, the sublime, horizons and dwelling, each of which in their own way involve a sense of orientation and disorientation that gestures toward the in-between-ness of androgyny.
The thesis also considers the tensions between visuality and embodiment in Horn’s work. Her use of photographic images within an installation practice is one that establishes a complex set of relations between the opticality of the photograph and the actuality of ‘real’ space. It is argued that the experiential potential of Horn’s photo-installations and books is only realised through the dialectical relation between visuality and embodiment in which both are equally privileged.Full thesis with illustrations can be requested via Inter-Library Loan.

The purpose of this project was to examine how Afro-Caribbean girls from the island of Sint Maarten narrate, navigate and negotiate their girlhood experiences. As a Black woman from Sint Maarten, this project is important due to the lack of sociological scholarship surrounding Black girls in the Dutch West Indies. This project utilized a qualitative approach that involved interview participant photography and semi-structured audio and video recorded interviews with 9 Afro-Caribbean girls who were 14-, 16- and 17-years old living in Sint Maarten. I analyzed the interview data and interpreted it using a combination of Black, Caribbean and transnational feminist frameworks which I named Afro-Caribbean transnational feminism. This framework specifically centers the lives and lived experiences of the girls. The findings show that Afro-Caribbean girls in Sint Maarten navigate their social worlds by negotiating different aspects of their lives, including their hair, appearance and food consumption to in various ways resist heteronormative ideas in Sint Maarten. This data serves as an important starting point and experiential reference to understand Afro-Caribbean girlhood in the Caribbean broadly, and specifically in the Dutch West Indies.Master of Science

Adam, Zoé. "Praxis Queer : les corps queers comme sites de création et de résistance." Thesis, Lille 3, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LIL3H034/document.
Full textAbstract:
Praxis queer s'intéresse à l'utilisation de pratiques artistiques au sein du militantisme queer. La réflexion s'organise en trois axes : artistique, militant, et quotidien. L'axe artistique analyse les techniques d'invention de soi, de subversion des normes corporelles, sexuelles et de genre. Les militant-es établissent des jeux entre la performativité et la performance. L'axe militant met en évidence l'utilisation de l'art en tant qu'outil de lutte queer, ce qui questionne les stratégies de lutte et l'efficience politique de l'art. Le troisième axe se concentre sur les pratiques quotidiennes de résistance. Ces pratiques sont analysées à la fois sous l'angle de la micropolitique et de la performance artistique, questionnant les limites de l'art. Certains thèmes transversaux se retrouvent dans ces trois axes : la performance, l'enjeu des archives au sein des luttes queers, l'utilisation militante des nouvelles technologies et la figure du cyborg. De nouveaux enjeux du militantisme queer, comme les affects, l'écologie et l'anticapitalisme, sont abordés. Cette thèse est un geste militant. Elle s'adresse autant au monde universitaire qu'aux activistes et elle correspond à un engagement personnel. Elle se base sur des entretiens réalisés avec des militant-es de France et d'Espagne. Ces entretiens sont utilisés de façon à valoriser les savoirs militants et à les mettre en parallèle du savoir "légitime" que représentent les auteur-es comme Judith Butler, Jack Halberstam, Paul Preciado ou Amélia Jones. Les outils de l'histoire des arts sont utilisés pour analyser des actions militantes. La dimension politique ou militante des oeuvres est systématiquement analyséePraxis queer questions the use of artistic practices in queer activism. The reflection is organized around three lines of thought : artistic, militant, and daily life resistance. The artistic axis analyses the techniques of self-invention and subversion of corporal, sexual and gender norms. Activists establish games between performativity and performance. The militant axis highlights the use of art as a tool of queer activism, which interrogates the strategies of struggle and the political efficiency of art. The third axis focuses on daily life resistance practices. These practices are analysed from both a micropolitical and artistic performance point of view, questioning the limits of art. Some cross-disciplinary themes can be found in these three areas : performance, the issue of archives in queer struggles, the militant use of new technologies and the figure of the cyborg. New issues of queer activism, such as effects, ecology and anticapitalism, are discussed. This thesis is a militant act. It is dedicated to academics as well as activists and is a personal involvement. It is based on interviews with activists from France and Spain. These interviews are analysed in such a way that it enhances militant knowledge and put it in parallel with the "legitimate" knowledge represented by authors such as Judith Butler, Jack Halberstam, Paul Preciado or Amelia Jones. The tools of art history are used to analyse militant actions. The political or militant dimension of works is systematically analysed

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the first historical study of The Pavilion Women’s Photography Center, which was founded in Leeds in 1983. It is a contribution to the institutional and curatorial history of feminist cultural practices in Britain. It addresses the work of artists Brenda Agard, Yve Lomax, Ingrid Pollard, Jo Spence, Maud Sulter and Marie Yates, making sense of them in the context of their exhibition at The Pavilion during the 1980s. In order to understand the significance of The Pavilion, I have deployed the Grounded Theory Method [GTM] in the analysis of an oral archive created in 2014, which includes statements of ten participants involved in The Pavilion from 1983–1993. From these statements I derived from the GTM method of coding a concept—‘Feministing Photography’. This concept captures the priorities, investments, and effects of The Pavilion project. It also enables me to situate The Pavilion in relation to the larger question of the way in which photography became a site of critical inquiry during the 1980s for feminist artists concerned with complex questions of sexual difference and the entanglements of gender, class and race. In enlarging upon the concept, ‘Feministing Photography’, as it can be read in the context of The Pavilion’s aims, I also contribute to the historical study of: key shifts in arts policy in Britain; the significance of artist-led spaces; the politics/aesthetics relation; the practices and politics of representation; the emergence of feminist debates and practices; and the history of feminist exhibitions and events. Furthermore, by focusing on The Pavilion, I also make Leeds visible as one of the spaces in which these key issues converged in the early 1980s. The thesis is also significant for its reflections on issues of encountering the past and the archive. It identifies a methodology through which to locate, within the ‘mute’ archive, traces of The Pavilion’s aesthetic and political significance in terms of its ambition, practices and place in a larger picture of cultural politics in the 1980s. Finally I argue that The Pavilion should be understood as an ‘incomplete’ project. In doing so, I aim, through the thesis, to make visible what can be learnt by ‘looking back’ at feminist strategies in the 1980s for thinking the challenges facing feminist cultural practices in the present.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the notion of a 'third space'. 'Third space' is a way to examine the question of culture in a time marked by large epistemic, political and representational shifts. Recent theorization of 'third space' often locates this as a cultural 'in-between' or field of liminality, beginning with the polarities of hierarchical and binary dualisms. The body, as one half of dualistic thought and practice, remains conspicuously absent from concepts of 'third space' and its activities. A series of dynamic modes of engagement, in which embodiment figures centrally, constitutes 'third space' in this theorization of it. Rather, however, than approach the articulation of a 'third space' solely through academic and literary texts, its primary 'sources' of 'information' to date, photographic imagery is proposed as a means to access 'third space'. The photographic, through its mediation of "vision," provides visual 'clues' by which to approach the "subjects" and "objects" of 'third space'. A trialectical relation of Visuality, Embodied Inter(ob)subjectivity and Space therefore characterizes a feminist approach to, and conceptualization of, 'third space'. An interpretative analysis of the contemporary photographic practices of Genevieve Cadieux, Marlene Creates, and Sylvie Readman contributes to an understanding of the significance of a notion of 'third space'.

Este trabalho investiga a produção em fotografia e vídeo de artistas que utilizaram o próprio corpo como objeto de representação nos anos 1970, sob um viés de análise feminista e de gênero. O objetivo principal foi o de destacar se houve ou não a influência do movimento feminista de segunda onda na obra de artistas brasileiras. As artistas Anna Bella Geiger, Anna Maria Maiolino, Iole de Freitas, Lenora de Barros, Regina Vater e Sonia Andrade fazem parte do meu escopo de estudos de caso. O desenvolvimento do trabalho foi fundamentado em entrevistas inéditas com as artistas pesquisadas e a apreciação de suas obras que atendem ao recorte escolhido. A partir da criação de três categorias baseadas no conteúdo dos trabalhos artísticos, foram definidos os seguintes temas: a esfera do privado em oposição à pública, a construção ficcional de si e a estética da violência. Cada um desses núcleos temáticos orientam os três capítulos que constituem a dissertação: “O corpo é a casa”, “O corpo é a camuflagem” e “O corpo é a fissura”, respectivamente. No primeiro capítulo, apresento obras que expõem questões relativas ao espaço doméstico e às funções gendradas vivenciadas por mulheres, por meio da interlocução teórica de Hannah Arendt e Jayne Wark. No segundo, aponto obras que se relacionam com a ideia de identidade fragmentada com base em construções ficcionais de si. Teresa de Lauretis, Donna Haraway, Luiz Sérgio de Oliveira e Janet Wolff foram as contribuições teóricas mais significativas do capítulo. Por fim, no terceiro, abordo obras produzidas no contexto da ditadura militar no Brasil, que confrontam as violências do período decorrente de censuras, torturas e cerceamento das liberdades individuais e coletivas, baseando-me em três autores que se dedicaram sobre o período: Artur Freitas, Claudia Calirman e Margareth Rago. Com o suporte metodológico de uma análise de conteúdo das entrevistas e o parecer teórico-crítico das obras, foi possível inferir que o discurso das artistas sobre os seus trabalhos não possui intenções feministas na maioria das vezes. Todavia, as ideias presentes nos seus trabalhos em fotografia e vídeo indicam preocupações comuns ao feminismo daquele período. A contradição entre o discurso e a prática foi a pergunta que guiou o processo de escrita do trabalho.This work investigates the photography and video production of artists who used their own body as an object of representation in the 1970s, under a bias of feminist and gender analysis. The main objective was to highlight the possible influence of the second wave feminist movement on the work of brazilian artists. The artists Anna Bella Geiger, Anna Maria Maiolino, Iole de Freitas, Lenora de Barros, Regina Vater and Sonia Andrade are part of my scope of case studies. The development of the work was based on unpublished interviews with the artists researched and the appreciation of their work that meet the chosen cut. From the creation of three categories based on the content of artistic work, the following themes were defined: the private sphere as opposed to the public, the fictional construction of self, and the aesthetics of violence. Each of these thematic nuclei guide the three chapters that constitute the dissertation: "The body is the house", "The body is the camouflage" and "The body is the fissure", respectively. In the first chapter, I present works that expose questions regarding the domestic space and the gendered functions experienced by women, through the theoretical interlocution of Hannah Arendt and Jayne Wark. In the second, I point to works that relate to the idea of fragmented identity based on fictional constructions of self that artists have developed for photography and video. Teresa de Lauretis, Donna Haraway, Luiz Sérgio de Oliveira and Janet Wolff were the most significant theoretical contributions of the chapter. Lastly, in the third, I approach works produced in the context of the military dictatorship in Brazil, which confront the violence of the period resulting from censorship, torture and restriction of individual and collective freedoms, based on three authors who dedicated themselves on the period: Artur Freitas, Claudia Calirman and Margareth Rago. With the methodological support of a content analysis of the interviews and the theoretical-critical opinion of the works, it was possible to infer that the discourse of the artists about their works does not have feminist intentions in the majority of the times. However, the ideas present in their work in photography and video indicate concerns common to feminism during that period. The contradiction between discourse and practice was the question that guided the writing process of the work.

The objective of this doctoral thesis is to consider her entire cinematograghic work scrutinizing these subjective imprints and, through the filmmaker’s voice on off commentaries, linking them to a manifestation of authorship and the desire to exemplify that the world is represented through a singular point of view. Attention is called to the diverse forms of self-representation in the projection of the filmmaker through diverse characters as well as her physical presence in images. Analizing these elements, this text considers Varda’s contribution to modern cinematography to the extent that, through great creative freedom, she has invented new forms which question generic conventions, amongst them the distinction between documentary and fiction.

Resumo: O objeto da pesquisa é constituído de vinte e quatro fotografias selecionadas dentro da produção fotográfica de nus femininos no Brasil, a partir do estabelecimento de alguns critérios, tais como a nacionalidade de fotógrafos e modelos, o suporte de publicação e o grau de nudez, entre outros, com o objetivo de criar uma gramática dos signos presentes nessas imagens. Num primeiro momento, foi possível identificar alguns modos recorrentes de apresentação dessas imagens: o "nu editorial" e o "nu artístico", que são os principais modelos temáticos dos fotógrafos brasileiros e um terceiro modo, muito menos expressivo em termos numéricos, mas que apresenta imagens mais densas em termos de conteúdo e questionamento de padrões pré-estabelecidos que é o modo do ?nu como expressão?. As fotografias foram separadas em grupos menores, para atender a projetos analíticos diferenciados, conforme cada capítulo, e foi feita a opção metodológica de análise imanente das mesmas. Ao final é proposta uma forma de classificação da produção de fotografias de nus conforme o conteúdo e sua abordagem, como alternativa para a percepção aparentemente exclusiva de conteúdo erótico e abordagem comercial
Abstract: The object of the research is constituted of twenty-four photographs selected among the photographic output of female nudes in Brazil, from the establishment of some criteria, such as the nationality of photographers and models, the support of publication and the rank of bareness, between others, with the objective of creating a grammar of the present signs in those images. In a first moment, was possible to identify some recurring ways of presentation of those images: the "editorial nude" and the "artistic nude", that are the main thematic models of the Brazilian photographers and a third way, a lot less expressive in quantity, but which presents denser images considering content and questioning of pre-established standards which is "nude as expression". The photographs were separated in smaller groups, to attend an analytic differentiated project, according to each chapter, and the methodological option made was of immanent analysis. To sum up, the purpose was to classify photographs of nudes output according to the content and approach, as an alternative to the apparently exclusive perception of erotic content and commercial approach

Resumo: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de depreender convenções estéticas matizadas pela produção e circulação de um conjunto de imagens corpóreas de misses. Interponho ao projeto o conceito, por mim elaborado, de síndrome fotográfica de misses ¿ conjunto de sinais e sintomas resultantes dos processos de observações cinestésicos e sinestésicos das candidatas colaboradoras. Reinterpretei as observações e as reincorporei aos ensaios fotográficos depreendidos dos tri/binômios: miss deficiente visual travesti, miss travesti e miss mulher. Iniciei a pesquisa revolvendo bancos de imagens, álbuns de fotografias pessoais, revistas, sites e minha própria participação como fotógrafo documental em alguns desses eventos. Além disso realizei entrevistas com elas para sub-objetivar suas trajetórias de vida materializadas nas imagens aqui presentes. Através do conceito de síndrome fotográfica aproximei a dinâmica do ensaio fotográfico ao textual, ora pela ficcionalidade controlada, ora pela foto-etnografia, tentando não perder de vista o rigor em conceituar as devidas referências bibliográficas sem, entretanto, fixá-las. Um esforço em zelar pela fruição e polissemia entre texto e imagem resultantes da pesquisa. O resultado final sugerido pelo formato de um Novo Testamento, que também significa "boas novas", busca desestabilizar, pela inversão cronológica das trajetórias de vida neles constantes, a ideia de que esses concursos ou performances são anacrônicos ou apócrifos. A convenção sobre o anacronismo desses jogos de beleza que, via de regra, ocorrem em Centros de Convenções ou ginásios de esportes, refere-se ao formato dos concursos e, portanto, neles se encerra. Anacrônico ou convencional podem ser os eventos ou as performances estéticas dos corpos, mas o mesmo não se pode dizer dos conteúdos corpóreos contingentes em disputa. Hoje, exatos 150 anos depois do primeiro concurso de beleza da era moderna e dos mais de 3000 concursos oficiais espalhados mundo afora, audiência que só perde para a do futebol, esses concursos se revelaram e se revelam indissociáveis do advento do daguerreótipo e da fotografia, respectivamente. Se justapõem. Neles, "modelos" de beleza fruíram, replicaram e transformaram, em boa medida, arquétipos e tipos, através da intermitente fricção das imagens agenciadas nas trajetórias de vida das misses que instituíram "boas novas" visibilidades através de performances sempre políticas
Abstract: The aim of this research is to infer aesthetical conventions hued by the production and circulation of a set of corporeal images from participants in beauty contests (misses). In this project, I interpose the concept, elaborated by me, of photographic syndrome of misses ¿ a set of signs and symptoms resulting from synesthetic and synaesthesic processes of observations of the candidates who collaborated in the research. I reinterpret those observations and reinsert them in my photographic essays produced on the tri/binomials: miss visual impaired transvestite, miss transvestite and miss woman. I have started the research by searching about image banks, personal photographic albums, magazines, websites and my own participation, as one of these events¿ documentary photographer. Besides that, I interviewed the misses in order to sub-objectify their trajectories of life embodied in the images presented here. Through the concept of photographic syndrome I bring the dynamics of the photographic closer to the textual essay, sometimes by means of a controlled fictionality, sometimes through photo-ethnography, always looking for a rigorous conceptualization of the appropriate bibliographic references, and yet without making them steady. There was an effort to keep an observant eye on the fruition and polysemy between the texts and images resulting from the research. The final result suggestive of the format of a New Testament, which also means "good news", aims at destabilizing, by the chronological inversion of life trajectories it comprises, the idea that they are anachronic or apochryph contests or performances. The convention about the anachronism of these beauty contests ¿ which usually occur in Convention Centers or sports gymnasiums ¿ refer to the format of these contests and therefore are circunscribed by it. Anachronic or conventional might be the events or aesthetic performances of the bodies, but the same can¿t be said about the corporeal content in dispute. Today, exact 150 years after the first beauty contest of the modern era and after more than three thousand official contests held worldwide, with an audience that only loses for football, these contests revealed themselves inseparable from the advent of the daguerreotype and the photography, respectively. They are closely juxtaposed. These "standards" of beauty fructified, were replicated and have deeply changed archetypes and types, through the agency of recurrent friction of images in the course of their lives, which established "good new" visibilities through their always political performances

The subject of this research is post-photography, the moment of photography’s expansion, characterized by an increased porosity between media, by the circulation of references, conventions, codes, and pre-existent images, and by the intermediate processing and the possibilities of post-production through digital technology. The main objective is to analyze the relationship between baroque procedures within the cultural environment and the post-photographic practice, through the observation of montage and hybrid forms. Therefore, the problem lies in the way baroque codes relate to changes in the photographic practice. It is a hypothesis that the montage of these images, in a micro structural level, shows use of baroque procedures. Aesthetic distortions, folds in the photographic field, and innovation through mixture and translation, all mentioned in post-photography theory, could be attributed to the baroque tradition. Moreover, the relationship between baroque montage and the Dionysian model of vision will de studied, aiming at investigating the expression of the feminine aspects of baroque as a way of surpassing narratives of identity and opposition. This research is built around Image and Media Theories, and Culture Semiotics. In its attempt to understand this new image paradigm, it will discuss the concept of post-photography in the works of Mitchell (1994) and Batchen (2002), as well as the works of Müller-Pohle (1988) and Baker (2005). The implications of this phenomenon will also be analyzes through from the point of view of Flusser (2008, 2011) and Couchot (1998, 2003) regarding synthetic images. In the filed of baroque theory, it will explore Moser’s the concepts of “valency” and “multi-positionality” (2001), Benjamin’s “dialectical image” (2007), and Deleuze’s “fold” (2001), as well Buci-Glucksmann’s interpretations of these authors (1994, 2001). Also relevant, regarding Latin American baroque, are the works of Pinheiro (2009, 2011), Campos (2001) e Vilatella (2004)
O objeto de estudo da presente pesquisa é a pós-fotografia, momento de expansão do fotográfico marcado pelo aumento da porosidade com outras mídias, maior circulação de convenções e referências, códigos e imagens pré-existentes, além da mudança de foco para o processo intermediário, entre captura e impressão, e para as possibilidades de pós-produção com tecnologias digitais. O objetivo consiste em analisar a relação entre os procedimentos barrocos em atuação no ambiente cultural/midiático e as práticas pós-fotográficas, através da observação dos modos de montagem e hibridismos. Assim, o problema está no modo como os códigos barrocos em evidência na atualidade se relacionam com as mudanças na prática fotográfica. Uma hipótese é que a montagem destas imagens recorre, no nível microestrutural, a procedimentos barrocos. As distorções estéticas, as dobras do campo da fotografia e a inovação da linguagem pela mescla e tradução, mencionadas nas teorias (pós-) fotográficas, podem ser remetidas também a tradições barrocas. Por fim, observa-se a relação entre a montagem barroca e o modelo de visão dionisíaco, investigando a expressão dos aspectos femininos do barroco como forma de superação estética das narrativas de identidade e oposição. A pesquisa se elabora em torno das Teorias da Imagem, da Mídia e da Semiótica da Cultura. Para a compreensão desse novo paradigma da imagem, parte-se dos conceitos de Mitchell (1994) e Batchen (2001) sobre a pós-fotografia, além de Müller-Pohle (1988) e Baker (2005). O entendimento das implicações desse fenômeno é feito através da leitura de Flusser (2008, 2011a, 2011b) e Couchot (1993, 2003) sobre as imagens técnicas e sintéticas. No campo das teorias do barroco, parte-se primeiramente dos conceitos de “valência” e “pluriposicionalidade” de Moser (2001), “imagem dilalética” de Benjamin (2007) e “dobra” de Deleuze (2001), bem como as leituras de Buci-Glucksmann (1994. 2001) sobre estes autores. Também são relevantes os estudos sobre o barroco latino-americano desenvolvidos por Pinheiro (2009, 2011), Campos (2001) e Vilatella (2004)

Resumo: Esta pesquisa propõe um estudo das obras das fotógrafas norteamericanas Cindy Sherman e Nan Goldin, mais especificamente dos seus trabalhos Untitled Film Stills e The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, respectivamente. Ambas são artistas de extrema importância para a arte fotográfica contemporânea, possuem praticamente a mesma idade, vivem e trabalham na mesma cidade, escolheram a fotografia como forma de expressão, mas, apesar destas e outras semelhanças, possuem uma produção bem diferente a principio. Enquanto Sherman constrói ficções Goldin registra a realidade a sua volta. Sherman é uma artista que cria cenas, universos, se inserindo dentro destes através de personagens que ela mesma incorpora. A artista cria mundos de representações que abordam toda a cultura, em especial a feminina. Já Goldin trabalha de forma mais instantânea, registra o mundo ao seu redor, guardando momentos, às vezes mais banais, às vezes mais íntimos, dos que a rodeiam e de sua própria vida, tornando público o que antes era privado. Mesmo com processos de criação tão distintos, e com motivações e resultados diferentes, o trabalho das duas fotógrafas pode ser relacionado pela temática do universo feminino que ambos abordam, onde nos é apresentado a vida privada de várias mulheres, sejam elas reais ou ficcionais. Assim, essas produções são postas lado a lado, evidenciando que caminhos diferentes podem levar a um mesmo lugar
Abstract: This research proposes a study of the works of American photographers Cindy Sherman and Nan Goldin, specifically their work "Untitled Film Stills" and "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency", respectively. Both artists are extremely important for contemporary photographic art, have practically the same age, live and work in the same city, chose photography as a form of expression, but, spite of these and other similarities, have a production very different at first. While Sherman builds fictions Goldin registers reality around her. Sherman is an artist who creates scenes, universes, inserting themselves inside of those through personages which she herself incorporates. The artist creates worlds of representations addressing the whole culture, particularly of women. Already Goldin works more instantaneous, registers the world around them, keeping moments, sometimes more banal, sometimes more intimates, of those around her and of your own life, making public what was once private. Even with creative processes so distinct and different motivations and outcomes, the work of the two photographers can be related by the theme of feminine universe they both deal with, where is presented to us the private lives of several women, whether real or fictional. Thus, these productions are placed side by side, showing that different paths could lead to the same place

Resumo: Esta pesquisa teve por finalidade discutir as principais mudanças e inovações na obra artística de Darel Valença Lins decorrentes da incorporação de fotografias e de recursos de linguagem fotográfica em suas obras a partir de 1975. Para tanto, realizamos extensa pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o artista e sobre teoria fotográfica, juntamente com a pesquisa iconográfica realizada através de registro fotográfico dos originais, com o objetivo foi reunir um grande número de obras, viabilizando a discussão proposta. Nesse processo, pesquisamos acervos, periódicos, livros e documentos da Fundação Bienal - SP, MAM - SP, Masp, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, MNBA - RJ, MAM - RJ, Biblioteca Nacional - RJ e entre outros, os ateliês de gravura Glatt & Ymagos e GRAPHIAS: Casa da Gravura, ambos em São Paulo. Visitamos e realizamos duas entrevistas com o artista em seu ateliê no Rio de Janeiro. Com as informações e obras reunidas, concluímos nosso trabalho analisando obras do artista que tocam importantes questões do contato entre a produção artística enquanto fatura manual e a fotografia, buscando paralelos dessa discussão nas obras de outros artistas que trabalharam com o mesmo interesse.
Abstract: The objective of this research was to discuss changes and innovations in the work of Darel Valença Lins caused by the use of photographies and resources of the photographic image since 1975. To do so, we did na extensive bibliographic reseach on the artist and on phoptographic theory, along with the iconographic research in wich we photographed the original pieces, to gather a great number of works, making viable our discussion. In this process, we researched archives, documents, books, newspapers and magazines from Bienal Foundation - SP, MAM - SP, Masp, the State of São Paulo's Pinacoteca, MNBA - RJ, MAM - RJ, National Library - RJ and among others, the studio & galleries Glatt & Ymagos and GRAPHIAS: House of Prints, both in São Paulo. We have visited and interviewed the artist twice in his Rio de Janeiro studio. With the gathered information, we finished our research discussing some of the artist's works that resemble important questions on the contact among his production as a traditional artist and the photographic image, and making parallels with similar pieces by other artists.

Full textAbstract:
My visual art practice explores the point at which a sense of bodily humour and revulsion may intersect in the world of the monstrous-feminine: the female grotesque, presented as my own obese (and post-obese) body. This exegesis is a written elucidation of my visual art practice as research. As an artist I create performative photographic images featuring taboo or otherwise 'inappropriate' subject matter, situations, materials and behaviours including bodily fluids, offal, internal organs and my own post-obese body. Through these modes of working, I establish and investigate the subjectivity of flesh: Why are we repulsed by the female grotesque? How can this flesh be used to subvert readings of the female body? My research is informed by those understandings of the female body, sexuality and difference described in the work of feminist theorists including Julia Kristeva, Helene Cixous, Ruth Salvaggio and Elizabeth Grosz. I explore the work of influential artists such as Eleanor Antin, Carolee Schneeman, Cindy Sherman and Sarah Lucas. In this context, I present my own visual art practice as a point from which the monstrous-feminine can be given voice as sentient, intelligent flesh.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis uses studio practice, scholarly research, close reading of text, performance observation and conversation with practitioners to establish diverse readings of Sarah Kane’s Cleansed. It includes original material from the 2012 productions of Cleansed in Japan (Kamome-za Fringe Theatre), and in Ireland (Bare Cheek Theatre). It notes practice on Cleansed in gallery spaces (Cast-Off Drama, UK). It offers a dramaturgical approach to workshopping the play from a feminist and queer position, informed by theories of gender and transgender, and the marginalised, loving and delinquent practice of clowning. The research discusses principles of breath, voice and sexuate difference drawing primarily on the philosophies of Luce Irigaray, on the voice practice of Cicely Berry and the clown teaching of Sue Morrison. The work challenges the ‘in-yer-face’ theatre discourse on Kane arguing that it represents a McDonaldization of its subject matter, and an insidious trivialisation of her texts. It offers new thinking on the opening night of Blasted (1995), suggesting that the ‘furore’ was fuelled by collective male hysteria and superstition; its roots centred in mourning. Analysing Cleansed in relation to Edward Bond’s Saved and Lear, it explores tropes of ghosts, stitching and the silent scream, and argues that Kane militates for gynocentric time and becoming. It analyses the symbol of the perimeter fence as a feature of 1980s Britain, noting the strength of binary associations configured in it with reference to both English football hooliganism (male) and the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp (female). It argues that Kane sets up heteronormative binaries in Cleansed to debate and contest them. A key conclusion of the thesis is that Cleansed politically addresses and dramatises issues of transgender experience presenting accounts of gender violence, mutability, transitioning, the sharp fractures and silences of gender dysphoria, but also, ultimately, queer desire, love and optimism.

Este trabalho procura descrever de que forma cinco mulheres jovens, de 24 a 35 anos, profissionais de nível universitário, pertencentes às camadas médias paulistanas, experimentam a dimensão do feminino em sua vivência cotidiana e a representam através de imagens fotográficas produzidas por elas mesmas. Pela presença que têm a imagem na socialização contemporânea e como maneira de incluir o sujeito em ação na pesquisa, optamos por trabalhar com fotografias. A partir da consigna Fotografe sua experiência de ser mulher em doze poses, as participantes produziram o material pictórico, que serviu de fio condutor para as entrevistas abertas que realizei no intuito de amplificar as possibilidades de entendimento acerca das imagens e do posicionamento das participantes dentro de um contexto discursivo mais amplo referente às identidades e relações de gênero.This paper intends to describe how five young women, ranging from 24 to 35 years of age, college graduates and professionals, belonging to the middle classes of São Paulo, Brazil, perceive the dimensions of being a woman in their everyday lives and how they represent their experience through photographs taken by themselves. Because photographic image is ever so present in the contemporary context, and as a way of including the subjects in the research through an action of their own, I chose to work with photos. The participants were told to take pictures of their experiences as women, and these images guided the follow-up interviews. Those interviews were made in the intent of amplifying my understanding regarding the visual material in a more ample discursive context referring to gender identity and gender relations.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is focusing on a visual culture within Instagram where women display traditional western femininity through aesthetically pleasing images of homes and interiors. When observing this culture from a critical perspective, questions on normativity, gender and home representation together with the complexity of personal narratives comes up. In an attempt to begin understanding the mechanisms and pleasures behind the use of Instagram this way, a small number of user interviews were made and analyzed towards representation, identity and feminist theory, and ideas around roles of photography, femininity, digital communities and material culture. As a result of the study it could be claimed that images of interiors and homes are used as frameworks for a feminine culture where participants are creating a safe space in relation to other social network cultures. The space is used for remembering moments, being creative, developing skills and engaging in undisturbed social practice. Photography, interior design and the materiality of the home can also be seen as visual tools used to reflect on and create identities, at the same time as they are used for social positioning. Though faced with contradicting feelings, frustration about superficiality and concerns around privacy, it can be concluded that this refined practice of taking and sharing images, engaging socially and being creative is pleasurable enough for the users not to stop participating.

Histórica e culturalmente, o campo da política gaúcha sempre foi predominado por atores masculinos. Porém, na contemporaneidade este cenário vem mudando: as mulheres se projetam como candidatas e, na última eleição ao Governo do Rio Grande do Sul, elege-se a primeira mulher. Neste contexto, esta dissertação propõe-se a analisar como são construídas as representações do feminino nas fotografias jornalísticas de Zero Hora durante a campanha eleitoral de 2006 ao governo do Rio Grande do Sul e, para tanto, utiliza-se da figura da candidata Yeda Crusius como objeto de análise. A partir de análises de orientação semiótica, constatou-se que, nas fotografias jornalísticas que retratam Yeda Crusius, não há a construção de uma representação do feminino, mas apropriações de diversificadas representações do feminino como estratégia de construção simbólica da figura da mulher na política.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about the geopolitics of feminist knowledge and the role of the visual arts in conceiving and reconfiguring postsocialist feminist imaginaries. Its central concern is to contest the fantasy, prevalent within Western feminist theorizing, of a “lag” between Western and former Eastern Europe. The thesis explores these imaginaries on a micro scale, zooming in on the deeply personal and political artwork of a contemporary feminist and lesbian-identified Estonian artist, Anna-Stina Treumund. This partial and limited focus on Treumund’s photographic self-portraiture enables us to look into the intensities and specificities of individual experience in postsocialist space. Throughout, the thesis evokes a whirling subject as a feminist figuration. This is simultaneously a reference to the embodied and the relational structure of knowledge-systems and world-making. Drawing on postsocialist, postcolonial, queer and feminist visual culture studies, the author argues that Treumund’s art is always already embedded in the local context, as it builds on and problematizes the existing discussions of feminist generations, theorizing, activism and art practices. Combining close readings of Treumund’s artworks with contemporary theoretical debates in feminist studies, encounters with the artist and autobiographical narratives, this thesis asserts: there is no “lag”. More importantly, it is of utmost ethical and political importance to pay closer attention to geopolitical locatedness as an axis of difference that matters in contemporary feminist theorizing.Den här doktorsavhandlingen handlar om geopolitik i feministisk kunskap och bildkonstens roll i förståelse och omskapande av postsocialistiska feministiska föreställningar. Dess huvudsakliga fokus handlar om att bestrida den i västerländsk feministisk teori ofta förekommande fantasin om att före detta Östeuropa på olika sätt ”släpar efter” i relation till väst. Doktorsavhandlingen utforskar dessa föreställningar på mikronivå då den zoomar in på det djupt personliga och politiska bildkonstarbete utfört av den samtida feministiska och självidentifierat lesbiska estniska konstnärinnan Anna-Stina Treumund. Avhandlingens partiella fokus på Treumunds fotografier i form av självporträtt möjliggör för oss att få inblick i de intensiteter och specifika förhållanden som utgör en individuell erfarenhet av att befinna sig i det postsocialistiska rummet. Genomgående i doktorsavhandlingen används det virvlande subjektet som feministisk figuration. Figurationen innebär simultant en referens till den förkroppsligade och den relationella aspekten av kunskapssystem och skapande av världen. Med utgångspunkt i postsocialistiska, postkoloniala, queera och feministiska studier av visuell kultur argumenterar författaren att Treumunds bildkonst alltid redan är inbäddad i en lokal kontext, detta sedan den växer fram ur och problematiserar de diskussioner som pågår mellan feministiska generationer, i teori, aktivism och bland konstutövare. Genom att kombinera närläsning av Treumunds konstnärliga arbete med samtida teoretisk debatt inom feministiska studier, med möten med konstnärinnan, och med självbiografiska berättelser, försäkrar denna avhandling: det finns ingen “eftersläpning”. Än mer väsentligt är att betona att det är av yttersta etisk och politisk vikt att ägna mer uppmärksamhet åt geopolitiska lokaliseringar som skillnadsskapande faktor i samtida feministisk teoribildning.

Previous issue date: 2013-12-05The purpose of this research is to identify how fashion image represents gender in examples drawn out from fashion magazines and from advertising campaigns in Brazil, France, England and United States in the beginning of the 21st Century. We seek to understand how female and male roles have been differently interpreted and what they may signal within the transformations occurred in the plural and inter civilizatory societies. We started from concepts of images as collective symbolizations in Belting; from understanding photography as image of concepts , as in Flusser; and from its distinction in Barthes. Kamper s concepts of corporeal dimensions and imaginary is also included in addition to seeking in Aganbem the understanding of contemporaneity . Researches of photography production in fashion, based on the ideas of designers and editors, such as Rebecca Arnold, also contribute with this research. The master s dissertation, O herói desmascarado an imagem do homem na moda (The unmasked hero male image in fashion) appears as a starting point. The results showing how male gender has been represented in fashion photography have opened up a broader discussion on how different genders are treated in contemporary society. We want to understand what would mean a female and male identity crisis crisis understood as in Morin in a scenario in which images point out variations and share space with other severe and stereotyped standards. We have followed the paths travelled by fashion and by photography from their beginning into the 80 s and 90 s up into the 21st century. We want to understand how the discourse of diversity - identified in bodies and in the social-cultural- political roles challenges the standards, how ruptures are generated and what they may mean in the transformation of individuals and of the community
A proposta desta pesquisa é detectar como a imagem de moda representa o feminino e o masculino em exemplos retirados de revistas de moda e de campanhas publicitárias do Brasil, Estados Unidos, França e Inglaterra no início do século XXI. Buscamos entender como os papéis femininos e masculinos tiveram diferentes interpretações e o que podem sinalizar dentro das transformações que ocorrem nas sociedades plurais e intercivilizatórias. Partimos dos conceitos de imagens como simbolizações coletivas em Belting, da visão da fotografia como imagem de conceitos em Flusser e de sua distinção em Barthes. Os conceitos de dimensões corpóreas e imaginário de Kamper, além de buscarmos em Aganbem o entendimento da contemporaneidade . Pesquisadores da produção de fotografia de moda a partir das ideias de designers e editores, como Rebecca Arnold, contribuem também para esta pesquisa. A dissertação de mestrado O herói desmascarado a imagem do homem na moda surge como ponto de partida. Os resultados - apontando como o masculino vem sendo representado nas fotografias de moda - abriram para uma discussão maior: de como os gêneros são tratados na sociedade contemporânea. Queremos entender o que significaria uma crise de identidades do feminino e do masculino entendendo crise como Morin num cenário em que imagens apontam variações e dividem espaço com outras de padrões severos e estereotipados. Acompanhamos os caminhos trilhados pela moda e a fotografia, do seu início, passando pelos anos oitenta e noventa até o início do século XXI. Queremos entender como o discurso da diversidade - presentes nos corpos e nos papéis sócio, cultural e políticos confronta com padrões, como são geradas rupturas e, o que estas podem significar na transformação dos indivíduos e do coletivo

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo promover um maior debate e reflexão sobre a representação do feminino negro na fotografia no século XX e começo do século XXI, especificamente no Brasil, com o projeto fotográfico de Ricardo Teles (1966), na Colômbia com Hernán Díaz (1931-2009) e em Moçambique com Ricardo Rangel (1924-2009) tendo como base seus livros autorais, respectivamente: Terras de Preto: Mocambos, Quilombos: Histórias de Nove Comunidades Negras Rurais do Brasil, de 2004; Cartagena de Siempre, de 2002 e O Pão Nosso de Cada Noite. Our nightly bread, de 2004. Para tanto, comparamos a fotografia como linguagem técnica e artística com a iconografia previamente produzida nos referidos países. A análise da fotografia como um exercício objetivo mostra que a semiótica e a multidisciplinaridade podem ser instrumentos auxiliares na procura por responder a informações contidas na imagem. O fotógrafo encaminha a interpretação de uma narrativa visual, pois é responsável pela produção e a recepção da imagem, no entanto a imagem contém em si um conjunto complexo de interpretações e de construções de alteridades. Por isso, deve-se levar em consideração seu caráter tão subjetivo quanto artístico quando adotando uma metodologia de análise.The present work aims to promote further debate and reflection on the representation of the black female in photography in the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty - first century, specifically in Brazil, with the photographic project of Ricardo Teles (1966), in Colombia with Hernán Díaz (1931-2009) and in Mozambique with Ricardo Rangel (1924-2009) based on their authorial books, respectively: Terras de Preto: Mocambos, Quilombos: Histórias de Nove Comunidades Negras Rurais do Brasil, 2004; Cartagena de Siempre, 2002 e O Pão Nosso de Cada Noite. Our nightly bread,2004. In order to do so, we compare photography as technical and artistic language with the iconography previously produced in those countries. The analysis of photography as an objective exercise shows that semiotics and multidisciplinarity can be auxiliary tools in the search for information contained in the image. The photographer directs the interpretation of a visual narrative, since it is responsible for the production and reception of the image, however the image contains a complex set of interpretations and constructions of alterities within itself. Therefore, its subjective as well as artistic character must be taken into account when adopting a methodology of analysis.

A presente dissertação, intitulada “Identidades metamorfoseadas. Uma perspectiva de Cindy Sherman”, pretende interpretar a obra de Cindy Sherman como um mecanismo de desconcertação social, isto é, de desconstrução dos estereótipos e dos modos prevalecentes de representação. A partir da descrição e da análise hermenêutica da obra da artista, nomeadamente das séries fotográficas, desde A Cindy Book (1964-1975) até aos Clowns (2003-2004), e em diálogo com alguns dos seus críticos e intérpretes, sustentaremos que os seus trabalhos visam a experiência humana em geral, através da construção de identidades metamorfoseadas. Com vista a suportar esta interpretação da obra de Cindy Sherman, propõe o nosso estudo uma análise detida dos processos de problematização dos estereótipos sociais, da envolvência social do espectacular, da identidade pessoal, do feminino e do queer. Conclui o nosso estudo com a consideração do interesse da obra Cindy Sherman para a compreensão da figura do “outro” no pensamento estético contemporâneo; ABSTRACT:This essay, named “Metamorphosed identities. Cindy Sherman’s perspective”, aims to interprete Cindy Sherman’s work as a social disconcerting mechanism, this is to say, the disconsctrution of the stereotypes and the ways they are represented. From the description and the hermeneutic analysis of the artist’s work, namely the photographic series, from A Cindy Book (1964-1975) to Clowns (2003-2004), and taking into account some of her critics and reviewers, we will support the idea that her work aimed human experience in general, through the construction of metamorphosed identities. To support this interpretation of her work, our essay is based on the detailed analysis of the social stereotypes problematical processes, of the social implication in the spectacular, of the personal identity, of the feminine and of the queer. Our essay draws the conclusion that Cindy Sherman’s work contributes to the understanding of the “other’s” image in the contemporaneous aesthetic throught.

Full textAbstract:
My capstone project is a multimedia audio and photography project that creates a conversation about the Millennial Generation’s views of individual identity and masculinity, with the hopes of deconstructing the socially constructed and exclusive notions of masculinity by defining a generation’s common sense.
My piece is inspired by the portraiture of Chad States in Masculinities (2011) as well as Loren Cameron’s work in Body Alchemy: Transsexual Portraits (1996). The theoretical basis of my project relies heavily on Antonio Gramsci’s concept of common sense as well as José Esteban Muñoz’s disidentification. Common sense refers to an instinctual, uncritical and largely unconscious way of perceiving and understanding. It is a collective noun, like religion yet it is not something rigid and immobile, but is continually transforming itself, enriching itself with scientific ideas and with philosophical opinions, which have entered ordinary life. Furthermore, disidentification is Muñoz’s third mode of dealing with a dominant ideology. This aspect neither opts to assimilate within such a structure nor strictly opposes it; rather, disidentification is a strategy that works on and against dominant ideology and hegemony. Disidentification works as the negotiating mechanism for common sense because it is against assimilation to mainstream masculinity as well as asks individuals to be their personal identity in spite of what hegemonic masculinity dictates.
Thus, I hope to instill a new understanding of the common sense of the Millennial Generation, and how the notion of masculinity is personal, fluid, and disidentified.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a été conçue comme une analyse des relations existantes entre la littérature et la photographie. Elle a pour objet d'étude l'oeuvre littéraire Grande Sertão: Veredas (1956) de João Guimarães Rosa, traduite par des photographies de Maureen Bisilliat à partir de l’original de João Guimarães Rosa (1969). Bien que la photographie ait essayé d’interagir avec la littérature dès ses prémices en 1849, ce ne sera qu'avec l'arrivée des mouvements avant-gardistes qu'apparaîtra une plus grande interaction entre les deux arts. Ceci favorisera des questionnements sur le « travail artistique », et ce, pas uniquement pour le domaine de la photographie, mais pour l'Art, en général. L'accent est mis sur cette période de grande interaction, s’appuyant surtout sur l'école surréaliste, considérée comme innovante et pionnière artistique pour son interaction entre ces deux langages. Dans le domaine littéraire, l'étude sur l'interaction avec les écrivains a favorisé une connaissance sommaire de quelques noms qui ont dialogué avec la photographie dans leurs œuvres, écrivains passionnés par la photographie, considérés également comme photographes. Dans cette étude s’opère une traduction intersémiotique, ou une transposition créative. L'image photographique ne sert pas uniquement à illustrer les mots de l'écrivain. Elle dialogue avec le texte et cette construction n'est ni aléatoire ni directe. Le travail démontre que le processus créatif des artistes est similaire, dans la diversité de leur esthétisme. Bien que tous deux expriment leur spécificité, ils partagent des équivalences, qu'elles soient convergentes ou divergentes, transmises grâce à des images métaphoriques de l'ambiance du Sertão et de ses habitants. Dans le dialogue inter-sémiotique construit à partir de A João Guimarães Rosa, le roman Grande Sertão: Veredas a dû être fragmenté en légendes, pour que la photographie puisse explorer à loisir l'univers féminin latent de l’œuvre. Cette féminité est dévoilée progressivement grâce aux théories littéraires émanant de l'ensemble des critiques parues sur le roman. Le reportage-photo fonctionne dès lors que les personnages affleurent dans les images, notamment grâce aux légendes, mais aussi grâce aux éléments silencieux qui jaillissent des clichés, rattachés à l'univers durandien: l'élément féminin présenté dans les images appartient au régime nocturne. Maureen Bisilliat nous laisse croire en la possibilité d'une nouvelle signification de l'oeuvre de Guimarães Rosa, des relations entre la réalité et la fiction, dualité présente depuis le surréalisme, en accord parfait avec l'Imaginaire de Gilbert DurandThis thesis conducted an analysis of the relationship between literature and photography, with the object of study the work: the novel Grande Sertão: Veredas (1956) by João Guimarães Rosa, which has translated for the photography of Maureen Bisilliat in the work, A João Guimarães Rosa (1969). Since its inception, photography rehearsed some steps in the dialogue with the literature. However, were the vanguard of movements that showed greater interaction, leading questions about the artistic work not only on the picture that tried to consolidate as art as well as art by itself in general. Surrealism can be considered as a landmark dialogue, innovation, artistic pioneer among these languages. In the literature, the study of the interaction with writers provided a brief knowledge of some names in the literature that dialogued with photography in his works, lovers of the photographic medium, were also considered photographers. In this work, we treat photography as a inter-semiotic translation, or even creative transposition. The photographic image is not only meant to illustrate the words of the writer. It dialogues with the text, and this construction does not occur randomly and direct way. The research demonstrated that the creative process is similar on both artists the diversity of its aesthetic. The two express their specificities, but at the same time, they nevertheless share equivalents, either convergences or divergences, enabled through metaphorized pictures of backcountry environment and its inhabitants. In intersemiotic dialogue built on João Guimarães Rosa, it was necessary to fragment the novel Grande Sertão: Veredas in captions for the picture to explore the latent feminine in this work. This femininity has been revealed through literary theory that presents a critical rich fortune about the female in Grande Sertão: Veredas. The photographic essay is driven in that the characters perceive the images surfacing through their legends, in addition to several female members silently emerge from images which related durandiano universe belonging to the nocturnal regime. Maureen Bisilliat, makes us believe in the possibility of reframing of Rosa's work, the relationships between reality and fiction, such as duality present from the surrealism that communes with the Imaginary of Gilbert Durand
Esta tese realizou uma análise das relações existentes entre literatura e fotografia, tendo como objeto de estudo a obra literária Grande Sertão: Veredas (1956) de João Guimarães Rosa, traduzida em fotografias de Maureen Bisilliat na obra A João Guimarães Rosa (1969). Apesar de a fotografia ensaiar passos na interação com a literatura desde o seu surgimento em 1849, os movimentos de vanguarda é que propiciaram questionamentos sobre o fazer artístico não só na fotografia, bem como da própria arte em geral. O diálogo entre essas linguagens enfatizou-se sobretudo na escola surrealista, considerada como um marco de inovação e pioneirismo artístico nessa inter-relação. Essa interação propiciou um breve conhecimento de alguns nomes da literatura que dialogaram com a fotografia em suas obras, escritores amantes da fotografia, alguns considerados também fotógrafos. Neste trabalho ocorre uma tradução intersemiótica, ou ainda, uma transposição criativa. A imagem fotográfica não serve apenas para ilustrar as palavras do escritor. Ela dialoga com o texto, e essa construção não se dá de maneira aleatória nem direta. A pesquisa demonstrou que o processo criativo de ambos os artistas é o mesmo na diversidade de suas estéticas. Os doisexpressam suas especificidades, mas, ao mesmo tempo, revelam equivalências, seja por convergências ou por divergências, viabilizadas por intermédio de imagens metaforizadas do ambiente sertanejo e em seus habitantes. No romance, foi necessária a fragmentação, em forma de legendas, por parte da fotógrafa para dialogar com as imagens, ao menos num primeiro momento. A feminilidade latente na obra é desvendada através da teoria literária, que apresenta um rica fortuna crítica acerca do feminino em Grande Sertão: Veredas. O ensaio fotográfico é acionado ao tempo que se percebe as personagens aflorando nas imagens literárias em suas legendas, além de diversos elementos que emergem, como as imagens relacionadas com o universo durandiano: o elementofeminino, pertencente ao regime noturno. Maureen Bisilliat faz acreditar na possibilidade de ressignificação da obra rosiana, das relações entre a realidade e a ficção, dualidade tão presente desde o surrealismo, que comunga com o Imaginário de Gilbert Durand

Resumo: A pesquisa recupera a memória e a história de vida de ex-alunas do Internato "São Paulo Saihou Jogakuin", a importância desta instituição na formação de sua identidade feminina. O estudo é uma abordagem antropológicavisual que se debruça sobre fotografias de arquivos institucionais e pessoais das depoentes. A imagem dialoga com outros dois suportes comunicacionais da condição humana, a escrita e a oralidade, na realização desse trabalho. Os saberes adquiridos no internato e as temáticas abordadas pela educadora são comparados com a importância que tiveram na constituição histórica de vida das ex-alunas, definindo suas posturas segundo éticas (e estéticas) perante o casamento, o lar, a maternidade e a profissão. A reconstituição de suas histórias de vida permitiu às ex-alunas se posicionarem em relação ao mundo na atualidade, traçando comparações com as perspectivas femininas (ou do papel feminino) da sociedade na época em que ainda eram alunas da instituição (elementos da memória reminiscente).
Abstract: Research recovers the memory and history of life of Sao Paulo Saihou Jogakuin boarding school's ex-students, the importance of this institution on the development of their female identity. This study is a visual-anthropological approach that employs photographs of institutional and personal registers of the deponents. In this study, image dialogues with two other resources of the human condition which are the writing and the orality. The knowledge acquired at the boarding school and the subjects explored by the teacher are compared to the importance of the history of life of those ex-students, determining their behavior concerning to ethics (and aesthetics) toward marriage, home, maternity and occupation. The reconstitution of their history of life permitted to the ex-students to situate them in relation to the present time, making comparisons with the female perspectives (or of female role) of the society when they still were students of the boarding school (elements of the remaining memory).

Previous issue date: 2011-08-19This research aims to analyze a set of electrostatic copies of photographs stored in the Museu Municipal Parque da Baronesa, in Pelotas city, RS. We pay special attention to female portraits, insofar as they dialogue with the narratives of this museal space designed to the period between 1880 and 1950. In the nineties these images were part of two short duration exhibits dealing with fashion and childhood. This municipal museum maintains the type of a historic house museum from the times it belonged to Antunes Maciel family. It holds therefore a strong link with female figures for the sake of three female generations that inhabited the house. The collections are formed by the building itself, personal and decorative objects, furniture, textile, private documents, books and original photographs, which bring representations of private space and uses of local society. We interpreted the material in the scope of cultural history of women, collections, representations, memory and photographs, as well as private documents and academic monographs concerning Antunes Maciel family
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar um conjunto de reproduções eletrostáticas de fotografias armazenadas no Museu Municipal Parque da Baronesa, em Pelotas, RS. Em especial os retratos femininos, na medida em que dialogam com a narrativa deste espaço museal, concernente ao período de 1880 a 1950. As imagens foram expostas, na década de 1990, em duas exposições de curta duração, que versaram sobre moda e infância. O museu, pertencente ao município de Pelotas, manteve a tipologia de residência, da época em que pertencia à família Antunes Maciel, existindo um forte vínculo à figura feminina, criado pela presença de três gerações de mulheres que habitaram a casa. Seu acervo é formado pelo prédio, por objetos pessoais e decorativos, mobiliário, têxteis, documentação privada, livros e fotografias, que trazem representações do espaço privado e dos costumes da sociedade pelotense, entre o final do século XIX e meados da década de 30 do século XX. A interpretação se deu no âmbito do estudo da história cultural das mulheres, de acervos, representações, memória e fotografias, bem como de documentação privada da família Antunes Maciel, dialogando com outras pesquisas sobre o museu, já desenvolvidas em âmbito de Pós-Graduação

Full textAbstract:
Universidade do Estado do Rio de JaneiroA partir de um estudo etnográfico, pretendemos investigar as representações sobre a gravidez e a maternidade em mulheres que são mães durante o cumprimento da pena na Penitenciária Talavera Bruce, no Rio de Janeiro. Estas mães, que convivem com seus filhos durante seis meses, têm os vínculos interrompidos após o período de amamentação. Todavia, os presídios não são designados para propiciar o vínculo familiar, pois, se pensarmos as prisões como instituições cujas práticas ocorrem à margem da lei e, mais do que isso, que geram atributos estigmatizantes aos sentenciados, é evidente que a presença dessas crianças produz um conflito entre o direito das mesmas ao convívio familiar e as funções punitivas das prisões.
Starting from an ethnographic study, we intend to investigate the maternity of women who become mothers during their confinement to serve their prison sentences in Talavera Bruce Penitentiary in Rio de Janeiro. These mothers, who live together with their children for only six months, have their intimate and affective links broken up after the breast-feeding period. Nevertheless penitentiaries arent designated to provide familiar vinculum, as, if we think prisons like an institution where lawless practices happen, and what is more, if these prisons are places where condemned people are looked at with stigmatizing attributes, its clear that the presence of these children brings about a conflict between their right to familiar relationship and the prison punitive functions.
