Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le statut des femmes artistes en Occident a connu de nombreuses transformations durant les périodes moderne et contemporaine, du XVIIe au XXIe siècle. Il a été largement dépendant, en un même temps et un même pays, des conditions sociales, économiques et culturelles dans lesquelles elles naissaient, se formaient et pouvaient exercer leur art. Et plus que les hommes, elles ont été tributaires de leur situation familiale et, très fréquemment, du rôle que jouaient, au plus près d'elles, des hommes. De manière ambivalente, la parentèle a longtemps produit chez les femmes des effets de relégation et de subordination, mais elle a aussi permis, dans certaines circonstances, un espace de création. Faisant suite au colloque international organise en septembre 2016 par le Musee Sainte Croix, l'université de Poitiers (Criham) et l'association Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions (AWARE), cet ouvrage met en évidence la pluralité des situations comme un certain nombre de mécanismes récurrents ou les relations de parentèle choisies, subies ou refusées agissent sur la création individuelle des femmes et émergent parfois comme sujet.

Book excerpt: Counterpractice highlights a generation of women who used art to define a culture of experimental thought and practice during the period of the French women’s movement or Mouvement de Libération des Femmes (1970–81).

Download or read book Mode unisexe et d construction du genre un manifeste pour la libert d expression written by MAX EDITORIAL and published by Max Editorial. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mode, en tant qu'expression culturelle, a toujours été liée à la construction des identités, y compris du genre. Tout au long de l'histoire, les vêtements et accessoires ont été utilisés pour différencier les hommes des femmes, renforçant les stéréotypes et limitant la liberté d'expression individuelle. Cependant, au cours des dernières décennies, un mouvement a émergé qui remet en question cette logique binaire : la mode unisexe. L'essor de la mode unisexe Les racines de la mode unisexe se trouvent dans les mouvements sociaux et culturels du XXe siècle tels que le féminisme et la contre-culture. La recherche de l'égalité des droits entre hommes et femmes, combinée au défi des normes sociales traditionnelles, a conduit à l'expérimentation de vêtements transcendant le genre. Déconstruire la binaire du genre La mode unisexe va au-delà de la simple esthétique. Il représente une critique de la rigidité des normes de genre et de l'idée selon laquelle les vêtements sont définis par un sexe spécifique. En remettant en question cette dichotomie, la mode unisexe ouvre un espace pour la libre expression de l'identité individuelle, indépendamment des étiquettes prédéfinies. Démonstrations de mode unisexe La mode unisexe se manifeste de diverses manières, depuis des pièces classiques réinterprétées dans des styles neutres jusqu'à des designs innovants qui transcendent les catégories de genre. Les jupes, pantalons, chemises, robes, vestes et accessoires peuvent être portés par n'importe qui, quelle que soit son identité de genre. Impact social et culturel La mode unisexe contribue à construire une société plus tolérante et diversifiée. En remettant en question les stéréotypes et en promouvant l'inclusion, elle remet en question le statu quo et ouvre un espace pour une expression individuelle authentique. La mode unisexe impacte également l'industrie textile, favorisant la création de collections plus fluides et démocratiques. Pionniers et influenceurs Plusieurs artistes, célébrités et marques de mode se sont imposés comme des agents de transformation dans la déconstruction du genre à travers la mode. Des personnages tels que David Bowie, Boy George, Tilda Swinton , Jaden Smith, Zendaya et des marques comme Thom Browne, Hood par Air , EckhausLatta et Marni sont des exemples de pionniers et d'influenceurs de ce mouvement. L'avenir de la mode unisexe La mode unisexe est un mouvement en constante évolution, qui a le potentiel de révolutionner la façon dont nous nous habillons et exprimons notre identité. L'avenir de la mode apparaît comme un espace de plus en plus inclusif, où la fluidité des genres et la liberté d'expression individuelle seront les piliers d'une esthétique innovante et authentique. Conclusion La mode unisexe est bien plus qu'une tendance passagère. Il représente un mouvement social qui remet en question les normes traditionnelles et promeut la construction d'une société plus juste et égalitaire. En déconstruisant la binaire des genres et en ouvrant un espace pour la libre expression de l'identité individuelle, la mode unisexe devient un manifeste pour la liberté d'être qui vous êtes. Apprenez-en bien plus...

Download or read book The Visible Word written by Johanna Drucker and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drucker skillfully traces the development of this critical position, suggesting a methodology closer to the actual practices of the early avant-garde artists based on a rereading of their critical and theoretical writings. After reviewing theories of signification, the production of meaning, and materiality, she analyzes the work of four poets active in the typographic experimentation of the 1910s and 1920s: Ilia Zdanevich, Filippo Marinetti, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Tristan Tzara. Drucker explores the context for experimental typography in terms of printing, handwriting, and other practices concerned with the visual representation of language. Her book concludes with a brief look at the ways in which experimental techniques of the early avant-garde were transformed in both literary work and in applications to commercial design throughout the 1920s and early 1930s.

Download or read book In Defiance of Painting written by Christine Poggi and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invention of collage by Picasso and Braque in 1912 proved to be a dramatic turning point in the development of Cubism and Futurism and ultimately one of the most significant innovations in twentieth-century art. Collage has traditionally been viewed as a new expression of modernism, one allied with modernism's search for purity of means, anti-illusionism, unity, and autonomy of form. This book - the first comprehensive study of collage and its relation to modernism - challenges this view. Christine Poggi argues that collage did not become a new language of modernism but a new language with which to critique modernism. She focuses on the ways Cubist collage - and the Futurist multimedia work that was inspired by it - undermined prevailing notions of material and stylistic unity, subverted the role of the frame and pictorial ground, and brought the languages of high and low culture into a new relationship of exchange.

Download or read book Beyond the Happening written by Catherine Spencer and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Happening uncovers the heterogeneous, uniquely interdisciplinary performance-based works that emerged in the aftermath of the early Happenings. By the mid-1960s Happenings were widely declared outmoded or even ‘dead’, but this book reveals how many practitioners continued to work with the form during the late 1960s and 1970s, developing it into a vehicle for studying interpersonal communication that simultaneously deployed and questioned contemporary sociology and psychology. Focussing on the artists Allan Kaprow, Marta Minujín, Carolee Schneemann and Lea Lublin, it charts how they revised and retooled the premises of the Happening within a wider network of dynamic international activity. The resulting performances directly intervened in the wider discourse of communication studies, as it manifested in the politics of countercultural dropout, soft power and cultural diplomacy, alternative pedagogies, sociological art and feminist consciousness-raising.

Download or read book The Artist Enterprise in the Digital Age written by Xavier Greffe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a monograph of cultural economics of a new concept, artist–enterprises. It explores various dimensions that artists embody, i.e., aesthetic, critical, messianic, and economic ones, and screens the multiple challenges faced by the artist–enterprises in terms of pricing, funding, and networking in the Digital Age. It shows how these artist–enterprises are at the core of the contemporary creative industries. Even when they are on their own, artists have to demonstrate or manage a variety of skills, sign contracts both in the early and later stages of their activities, and also maintain relationships and networks that enable them to attain their artistic and economic goals. They are no longer simply entrepreneurs managing their own skills but are the enterprises themselves. The artist–enterprises thus find themselves at the confluence of two dynamics of production—artistic and economic: artistic because they invent new expressions and meanings; and economic because these expressions must be supported by monetary values on the market. The artistic dynamic is part of a long process of artistic enhancement and only an artist can say whether it has reached the point of presentation or equilibrium. The economic dynamic is dependent on the constant endorsement of artists' works by the market to ensure their survival as artist–enterprises. The tension created by this disparity is further aggravated by another tension: the need to overcome a number of risks so that artist–enterprises can progress. This book will be of special interest to artists, managers, students, professionals, and researchers in the fields of the arts, creativity, economics, and development. The author is Emeritus Professor at the University Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the women of the Union were often quite conservative politically, socially, and stylistically, says Garb, they believed that women had a special gift that would enhance France's cultural reputation and maintain the uplifting moral-cultural position that seemed in jeopardy at the turn of the century. Focusing on the developments that made the prominence of the organisation possible, Garb discusses the growth of the women's movement, educational reforms, institutional changes in the art world, and critical debates and contemporary scientific thought.

Download or read book The Musical Work of Nadia Boulanger written by Jeanice Brooks and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nadia Boulanger - composer, critic, impresario and the most famous composition teacher of the twentieth century - was also a performer of international repute. Her concerts and recordings with her vocal ensemble introduced audiences on both sides of the Atlantic to unfamiliar historical works and new compositions. This book considers how gender shaped the possibilities that marked Boulanger's performing career, tracing her meteoric rise as a conductor in the 1930s to origins in the classroom and the salon. Brooks investigates Boulanger's promotion of structurally motivated performance styles, showing how her ideas on performance of historical repertory and new music relate to her teaching of music analysis and music history. The book explores the way in which Boulanger's musical practice relied upon her understanding of the historically transcendent masterwork, in which musical form and meaning are ideally joined, and shows how her ideas relate to broader currents in French aesthetics and culture.

Download or read book Women in Abstraction written by Karolina Lewandowska and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking study of the women of abstract art and their works, presented as a richly illustrated visual history. Women in Abstraction reevaluates the work of women abstract artists, changing the story of modern and contemporary art. A tie-in catalog to a major exhibition at Paris’s Centre Pompidou, this volume explores the fundamental role women artists played in the development of abstract art in the twentieth century. In this rich, sweeping collection, editors Christine Macel and Karolina Lewandowska bring together more than one hundred artists in painting, sculpture, dance, applied arts, photography, film, and performing arts. Understanding that abstract art must be looked at in the light of the artists’ political and personal surroundings, this volume dives into the creation and reception of these artworks over time. From the symbolist abstraction of Hilma af Klint, now widely regarded as the first abstract artist, and the sensual abstraction of Huguette Caland, to the purist non-objective approach of Verena Loewensberg, each artist’s relationship to abstraction is examined. These artworks are presented with thought- provoking essays by esteemed critics, contextualizing and exploring the subjects and themes of the movement. Ultimately, this volume questions the legitimacy of the notion of “female artists” and presents this group as simply artists, full of complexities and paradoxes.

Download or read book Philosophy in a Time of Terror written by Giovanna Borradori and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.
