Full textConstruindo a hipótese de que a estética é uma estratégia para mitigar a angústia e consubstanciar o desejo, o autor busca estabelecer seu estatuto para o aparelho psíquico. No campo do sujeito, a estética participaria do nasrcisismo primário, momento em que a constituição do Eu é testemunha por uma imagem que dá materialidade ao sujeito e à presença da alteridade. Desenhar um perímetro para o vazio e poder vê-lo é atribuir sentido à existência e conter a angústia da morte. A estética também serviria à causa do desejo. Das cenas do sonho manifesto à imagem do objeto erótico, o desejo não pode dispensar a forma que constituirá o conteúdo de sua ilusão. Caberia a estética apresentar os contornos do recalcado e resgatar a criatividade da polimórfica perversão infantil. Através das obras-de-arte, o autor apresenta a estética como uma relação entre os sujeitos, intermediada pela angústia e pelo desejo. Investigando o sentido da busca pela estética designada como bela, analisa-se o papel desta na atualidade. Tendo como foco a subjetividade feminina contemporânea, o autor destaca sua dupla relação com a imagem. Se há, de um lado, um discurso estético enunciado pela mídia constituindo um corpo destinado ao consumo haveria, por outro, um mandamento estético proferido pelo superego feminino impondo o olhar do Outro como compensação ou negação da castração. O autor conclui sua abordagem do que designou como Doenças de beleza identificando dois grupos distintos um formado por sujeitos que buscam a morte do corpo como estratégia de sobrevivência do Eu. E outro, constituído pelos aderentes à mensagem estética contemporânea e adictos à visibilidade.
In order to build up the hypothesis that aesthetics is a strategy to alleviate anguish and to consubstantiate desire, the author seeks to set up a statute for the psychic system. In the field of the subject, aesthetics would be part of the primary narcissism, a moment when the formation of the Ego is witnessed by an image that lends materiality to the subject and to the presence of alterity. To design a perimeter for the void and to be able to see it is to bestow sense to existence and to restrain the anguish of death. Aesthetics would serve the cause of the desire. From scenes of manifest dreams to the image of the erotic object, desire can not dispense with the shape which will grant form to its illusion. It would be incumbent on aesthetics to present the configurations of the repressed and to redeem the creativity of the polymorphic infantile perversion. By means of works of art the author presents aesthetics as a relation between the subjects, mediated by anguish and desire. Investigating the sense of the quest for aesthetics regarded as beautiful, one analyses its role at the present time. Using as a focus the contemporaneous feminine subjectivity, the author points out its double relation with image. Whereas, on one hand, there is an aesthetic discourse expressed by the media making up a body intended for consumption, on the other hand there would be another, an aesthetic commandment stated by the feminine superego imposing the regard of the Other as compensation for or negation of castration. The author concludes his approach of what he named as Infirmities of Beauty by identifying two distinct groups, one made up by subjects who seek the death of the body as a strategy for the survival of the Ego. And another made up by those who adhere to the contemporaneous aesthetic message and are addicted to visibility.

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

Resumo: Esta tese investiga as representações femininas presentes em propagandas de produtos de clareamento de pele (bleachings) e crescedores capilares (hair growers) da indústria cosmética, veiculadas pela imprensa afro-americana em Boston, Chicago e Nova York, cidades que, entre os anos 1890 e 1930, passaram por uma série de transformações sociais por conta do fenômeno historicamente conhecido como Grande Migração Negra. Ao considerar o processo de urbanização vivenciado pela população de cor que chegava aos milhares no norte do país, enfatizamos a emergência de um capitalismo negro que tinha no "mercado da beleza" um de seus principais ramos comerciais. Nesse sentido, o estudo do papel de "empresárias da raça" como Annie Minerva Pope Turnbo-Malone e Madam C. J. Walker, à luz das contribuições da Business History, leva-nos a lançar mão do conceito de "cosmética negra", entendida aqui como um conjunto de pequenas, médias e grandes empresas, que conduzidas com o capital e a força de trabalho afro-americanos, tinham como um de seus principais objetivos associar lucro financeiro e defesa da "feminilidade negra", a partir da confecção e venda de manufaturados que prometiam uma "boa aparência" para suas consumidoras. Ao explorar associações ambíguas entre good look e pele clara, a pesquisa também examina a construção de uma noção racializada de beleza específica dos negros num contexto de pós-emancipação. Diferentemente do ocorrido na publicidade da cosmetologia branca, tal noção mostra que companhias afro-americanas como a Poro Hair Beauty Culture, a Overton Hygienic Company e a Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company investiram severos esforços na construção de referenciais visuais que conjugassem honra, distinção e equidade social para as "mulheres da raça". Dentro de uma perspectiva que articula gênero, racialização, classe, cosmética e modernidade, observa-se que ser considerada uma "nova mulher negra", como se dizia à época, não era um feito para todas. Para gozar de tal status era necessário possuir visual discreto, comportamento recatado, alto grau de instrução, mas, sobretudo, pele clara. Assim, ao atrelar físico e comportamento, o referido protótipo marcava a preocupação da comunidade intelectual (editores, jornalistas, publicitários, colunistas, artistas, etc.) em criar representações condizentes com uma noção de "feminilidade respeitada", que, por seu turno, revelava o investimento numa "cultura da pele mulata", facilmente captada pelas inúmeras fotografias de mulheres quase brancas, predominantes nas páginas de dezenas de jornais, revistas e catálogos de beleza da "raça". Nesse sentido, a cosmetologia e a imprensa negras foram duas das maiores responsáveis pela produção de uma "beleza cívica" oriunda de um sistema "colorista" calcado na valorização das mulatas em detrimento das blacks (negras retintas). Fato ainda desconhecido pela historiografia brasileira, tais propagandas descortinam formas múltiplas pelas quais as classes alta e média negras criaram suas próprias interpretações e soluções para questões relacionadas à eugenia, ao higienismo, à miscigenação, à urbanização e à segregação racial, abrindo espaço para futuras investigações sobre uma História Social da Beleza Negra
Abstract: This dissertation examines representations of women in advertisements for skin-bleaching and hair-growing products in the cosmetics industry, which appeared in the African American press in Boston, Chicago and New York. Between the 1890s and 1930s, these cities underwent a series of social transformations as a result of the phenomenon referred to by historians as the Great African American Migration. Analyzing the process of urbanization experienced by the population of color, who arrived in their thousands in the north of the country, emphasis will be placed on the emergence of black capitalism, which one of its greatest commercial interests in the beauty industry. The study of the role of black businesswomen like Annie Minerva Pope Turnbo-Malone and Madam C. J. Walker, and their contributions to business history, leads us to the concept of "black cosmetics." This is herein understood as a group of small, medium and large businesses which, drawing on African American capital and labor, aimed to unite profit with the defense of "black femininity," via the production and sale of products that promised their consumers a "good appearance." By exploring the ambiguous associations between "looking good" and whiteness of skin, the study also examines the construction of a specifically racialized notion of beauty held by blacks in the post-emancipation United States. This notion reveals how, unlike white beauty advertisers, African American companies like Poro Hair Beauty Culture, Overton Hygienic Company and Madam C J Walker Manufacturing Company invested considerable efforts in constructing visual imagery which could confer honor, distinction and social equality on black women. Taking a perspective that brings together gender, racialization, class, beauty and modernity, the dissertation observes how being considered a "new black woman," as the phrase went at the time, was not attainable by all women. In order enjoy such a status, it was important to possess a visual image that emphasized discretion, modest behavior, a high standard of education, but, above all, light skin. Equating looks with behavior, this prototype demonstrated the desire of the intellectual community (editors, journalists, advertising companies, columnists, artists, etc) to create images that chimed with a notion of "respectable femininity." This, in turn, demonstrated a deep investment in a "mulatto culture," easily captured by innumerable photographs of nearly-white women which dominated the pages of dozens of African American newspapers, magazines and beauty catalogues. Thus, the cosmetics industry and the black press were two of the most influential entities in the creation of "civic beauty," derived from a colorist system which favored mixed-race women over black women. Brazilian historiography has yet to examine how such advertisements reveal the many ways in which the black upper and middle classes created their own interpretations and solutions for issues of eugenics, hygiene, miscegenation, urbanization and racial segregation. This, in the future, might lead us to a social history of black beauty

Full textO imaginário mobilizado pela corrida espacial no segundo período pós-guerra instigou a criação de um repertório visual que logo tornou-se fonte de inspiração em diversos campos da produção cultural. Neste trabalho tenho por objetivo discutir a construção da figura da “mulher do futuro” mediante a articulação entre as produções filiadas a esse imaginário no vestuário e na decoração de interiores. O recorte de estudo abarca as décadas de 1960 e 1970 e está centrado nas representações de interiores domésticos divulgados pela revista Casa & Jardim e nos editoriais e anúncios publicitários de vestuário divulgados pelas revistas Claudia e Manequim. Esses títulos colocaram em circulação uma série de recursos imagéticos e textuais que evidenciam aspectos do comportamento social da época, servindo como base para a investigação das novas representações de feminilidades que surgiram naquele período. A escolha por privilegiar a articulação entre decoração de interiores e vestuário se justifica pela relação historicamente construída entre essas materialidades e o corpo feminino, caracterizando-se como parte integrante na construção de identidades de gênero, classe e geração. Com esse trabalho pretendo evidenciar que as materialidades dos interiores domésticos e do vestuário inspirados pela iconografia espacial atuavam como dispositivos que criavam e reforçavam noções de feminilidades em diálogo com o processo de modernização da sociedade brasileira em curso.
The imagery mobilized by the space race in the second post-war period instigated the creation of a visual repertory that soon became the source of inspiration in several fields of cultural production. In this work I aim to discuss the construction of the "woman of the future" figure through the articulation between the productions affiliated to this imaginary in clothing and interior decoration. The study covers the 1960s and 1970s and is centered on the representations of domestic interiors published by Casa & Jardim magazine and the editorials and advertisements for clothing published by magazines Claudia and Manequim. These publications put into circulation a series of imagery and textual resources that demonstrated aspects of the time’s social behavior, serving as basis for the investigation of the new representations of femininities which appeared in that period. The choice to focus on the articulation between interior decoration and clothing is based on the historically constructed relation between these materialities and the female body, therefore being an important part in the construction of gender, class and generation identities. With this work I intend to show that the materialities of domestic interiors and clothing inspired by the space age iconography acted as devices that created and reinforced notions of femininity.

Full textThis study aims both to develop a model, as well as to highlight the therapeutic psychic effects, of a psychological accompaniment set up group that proposes to use the mediation of socio-aesthetic care in the treatment in charge of patients met in gynaecological oncology.Thus, we propose, in the first place, to develop the presentation of the cosmetological thread which corresponds to the progress of the research set up, as well as that of the cosmetogram which is the observation grid constructed in order to facilitate in a second time the identification of the psychic processes running in the workshops. The clinical presentation of our patient groups allows us to illustrate at the same time the path of patients in the research set up and the use of the cosmetogram.We argue that the specificities of this original set up, in the hospital care landscape as it is proposed to women with female cancer, are source of individual somato-psychic restoration aimed at a revivifying psychocorporal remobilization. Indeed, we have identified several ones (sensory multimodality, the group, the mediating objects and the binomial animator) that would allow the implementation of a psychodynamic accompaniment of re / self-investment by the mobilization of particular psychic processes for patients still under the impact of somatic and psychoaffective break-ins generated and / or reactivated by the experience of disease and of medical care.The area of psycho-socio-aesthetic experiences would particularly mobilize the psychic reflexivity process and offer an interesting support for the restoration of the psychic envelopes of patients well harmed by disease and medical care. We also explored how the process of the feminine works, focusing on the relational dimension of the set up, more specifically on its identificatory and transferential issues. Thus, from this clinic, we have been interested in the psychic processes that seem to favor a dynamic of narcissistic-identity and libidinal readjustments in our patients and lead to a recovery of the process of female subjectivation and subjectivizing appropriation of the experience of cancer

To this end, this project is intended to explore issues such as body image and image manufacture in order to find a possible answer to the question of what is ‘real beauty’ in the South African context. A semiotic approach seeking to review the ways in which women are seen through visual communicative images was undertaken. This visual research revealed the importance of the ‘gendered gaze’ at the centre of issues that relate to self-esteem. An in-depth analysis of the literature, pertaining to self-esteem, interrogated the works of Naomi Wolf, John Berger and Susie Orbach, amongst others. This was carried out in order to understand more about how the dictates of consumerism pervade the work of the style industries. These sectors are well supported by the diet, food and cosmetic surgery industries who tend to effectively increase and add to a sense of body related insecurities. In addition, content analysis of selected South African editions of Cosmopolitan magazine was conducted. The images described represents a significant development period in the emergence of certain beauty ideals in South Africa. The British Unilever marketing campaign, The Dove Campaign For Real Beauty, was used as a base model for the applied design component of this study. In addition an action research approach was employed through a series of interviews and questionnaires directed at mostly female participants in South Africa. This method revealed that self-esteem issues have far reaching implications, affecting women of all ages. As a response to the perceived need for a South African based campaign, this research project informed the development of The Sisterhood Self-Esteem Crusade. In contrast to The Dove Campaign For Real Beauty which was created to promote increased sales of beauty products, The Sisterhood Self-Esteem Crusade’s focus is to interrogate and raise awareness of self-esteem. Underpinning this was an attempt to build confidence, cascade new ways of understanding and to propagate sense making, informed through action research, amongst South African women.
