Download or read book Encounters in the Virtual Feminist Museum written by Griselda Pollock and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-14 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuing her feminist reconceptualisation of the ways we can experience and study the visual arts, world renowned art historian and cultural analyst, Griselda Pollock proposes a series of new encounters through virtual exhibitions with art made by women over the twentieth century. Challenging the dominant museum models of art and history that have been so exclusive of women's artistic contributions to the twentieth century, the virtual feminist museum stages some of the complex relations between femininity, modernity and representation. Griselda Pollock draws on the models of both Aby Warburg's Mnemosyne Atlas and Freud's private museum of antiquities as well as Ettinger's concept of subjectivity as encounter to propose a differencing journey through time, space and archive. Featuring studies of Canova 's Three Graces and women artist's modernist reclamations of the female body, the book traverses the rupture of fascism and the Holocaust and ponders the significance of painting and drawing in their aftermath. Artists featured include: Georgia O'Keeffe, Josephine Baker, Gluck, Charlotte Salomon, Bracha Ettinger and Christine Taylor Patten.

Download or read book Descubriendo un mundo oculto identidad sexual y discapacidad f sica written by Marisol Moreno Angarita and published by Universidad Nacional de Colombia. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este estudio acerca al lector, al proceso de construcción de identidades sexuales de cuatro personas con discapacidad física. Mediante sus sencillos, espontáneos y sentidos relatos biográficos logra desvelar", desentrañar , una serie de situaciones, eventos, prácticas y discursos, recogidos en categorías formales, que permiten tejer una trama de significados. Bajo el lente interpretativo de los propios relatos emergen elementos comunes sobre la noción y las vivencias alrededor: del cuerpo, de la discapacidad, y de la sexualidad, como constituyentes de las identidades. Se evidencia que la construcción de la identidad sexual se da en función de la mirada y la interacción con el otro (padre, madre, hermanos, pares, docentes, amigos, entre otros); en la mayoría de los casos basadas en el estigma, la ignorancia, el rechazo y la exclusión. Es injusto que en pleno Siglo 21 todavía se encuentren colectivos sociales a los que su entorno cercano y extendido les obstaculice, perturbe, niegue, controle el derecho al pleno desarrollo de la sexualidad, con su correspondiente impacto sobre la afectividad, la identidad sexual y por su puesto, la inclusión social plena. A manera de denuncia, esta polifonía de cuatro relatos, reclama atención para un derecho, que aunque protegido en la constitución colombiana y en la reciente Convención de los Derechos de las personas con Discapacidad de Naciones Unidas, ratificada por Colombia, aún está pendiente de materializarse plenamente.
