Re-presentations of women's melancholic subjectivity by women figurative artists from different historical moments, canonical images of melancholy and theoretical accounts of melancholy are brought together to address the question: 'What aspects of women's experience of melancholy have women figurative artists chosen to represent historically and contemporaneously, and further what is the importance of these artworks for understanding the nature of women's melancholic subjectivity today?

The purpose of this study was to determine answers to several research questions: 1.) What do pre-service teachers know about feminist pedagogy or teaching in ways that are culturally responsive? 2.) In what ways are pre-service teachers prepared to use feminist pedagogy? 3.) How is a lesson constructed utilizing a feminist curriculum? All participating pre-service Art Education students completed a Survey of Art History, a questionnaire of their background in Art History, a questionnaire on their ideas of feminist pedagogy, and completed a group brainstorming of lesson plans. Data was analyzed from student responses. Results support the need for teaching more feminist content and pedagogy. Recommendations are made for further research.

Recognising art’s crucial function for reproducing economic and sexual differences, feminist political interventions - alongside a range of ‘new’ critical perspectives including Marxism, psychoanalysis and poststructuralism - have wrought historic changes upon the production, circulation and consumption of art. This is widely acknowledged in art historical scholarship. However, understanding that ‘art history’ (as a historically conditioned discipline) is concurrently reproductive of these ideological and material inequalities, feminist scholars have significantly and continually sought to intervene at the point of production – the writing of art’s history – to expose its social role and remake the fundamental terms of the discipline. This is a truth less widely acknowledged or, at least, less well-understood within contemporary scholarship. This thesis, therefore, seeks to examine the discipline of art history in Anglo- American contexts to assess the impact that feminist models of scholarship have had upon its knowledges and practices. This is attained through extensive literature overviews, archival research and, to a lesser extent, email interviews with key contributors to the discourse. Ultimately, this examination endeavours to address the production and regulation of feminist knowledge across a number of expanded (and interconnected) institutional sites. Case studies track the impact of feminist strategies upon the authoring of art history in the classroom, within scholarly professional organisations, academic publishing, the museum sector, and upon art-making itself. The research evaluates the mutable power structures of the discipline, how feminist interventions have had success in rethinking the limits of institutional knowledge, and how it may be possible to articulate critique under twenty-first-century conditions of institutional complicity and the hegemonic recuperation (or indeed ‘disciplining’) of radical practices. To date – and despite its prominence within much feminist writing - the importance of art historiography for the feminist political project has not been properly examined; the aim of this thesis is therefore to redress this omission and provide a timely and comprehensive critical reading of feminist knowledge production since around 1970.

Resumo: Esta dissertação aborda a produção artística de Louise Bourgeois, focando as formas corporais trazidas em suas obras. Trata-se de perceber como sua arte possibilita elaborar críticas ao modelo falogocêntrico do feminino e, simultaneamente, abre possibilidades para a criação de formas múltiplas das subjetividades das mulheres. A produção de sentidos para as obras é realizada a partir de uma orientação teórica e metodológica feminista e pós estruturalista, apresentada, principalmente, nos escritos de Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Michel Foucault, Suely Rolnik, Rosi Braidotti, Norma Telles, Tania Swain, Margareth Rago e Michelle Perrot
Abstract: This research addresses the artistic production of Louise Bourgeois, focusing on the corporal forms expressed in in her pieces. It pertains the perception of how her art enables the possibility to criticize the phallogocentric model of feminine and, simultaneously, allows the creation of multiple forms on the women subjectivity. The production of meanings for her works is accomplished trough a theoretical and methodological feminist and post structuralist orientation, presented, mainly, in the writings of Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Michel Foucault, Suely Rolnik, Rosi Braidotti, Norma Telles, Tania Swain, Margareth Rago and Michelle Perrot

This paper maps themes (e.g. family, beauty, femininity, gender, blackness, representation) and artists from the Black arts and Feminist art movement who have been very influential when planning this senior art project. I specifically look at the works of Black feminist artists such as Betye Saar, Faith Ringgold, Carrie Mae Weems, Kara Walker, and Mickalene Thomas who navigate themes from both movements. In my project I have painted a series of interpretive acrylic portraits of close friends and family members, all adapted from photographs.

This thesis examines, from a feminist perspective, conceptions of the body proposed by poststructuralist philosophy and postmodernist art practice. Within both feminist and postmodern critiques of the humanist subject, the body has come to be understood as a site of cultural inscriptions. In tracing the relationship between postmodernism and feminism, the thesis addresses specifically the shift from celebratory, affirmative female imagery typical of feminist art in the seventies, to the semiotic analysis of images of women which, in the eighties, problematized the question of sexual difference as one of representation. During the eighties women artists generally eschewed figurative representations of the female body in recognition of its over-determined socio-sexual status. Within this historical framework, the tension between the "de-materialized" body of postmodernity and the insistently present body of gendered experience is explored both in the work of feminist theorists and contemporary women artists. In conclusion, three corporeal sites--the cultural, the epistemological and the psycho-sexual--are analysed in the postmodern practices of Jana Sterbak, Nell Tenhaaf and Kati Campbell.

The thesis explores the cultural field of global art cinema as a potential space for the inscription of female authorship and feminist issues. Despite their active involvement in filmmaking, traditionally women directors have not been centralised in scholarship on art cinema. Filmmakers such as Germaine Dulac, Agnès Varda and Sally Potter, for instance, have produced significant cinematic oeuvres but due to the field's continuing phallocentricity, they have not enjoyed the critical acclaim of their male peers. Feminist scholarship has focused mainly on the study of Hollywood and although some scholars have foregrounded the work of female filmmakers in non-Hollywood contexts, the relationship between art cinema and women filmmakers has not been adequately explored. The thesis addresses this gap by focusing on art cinema. It argues that art cinema maintains a precarious balance between two contradictory positions; as a route into filmmaking for women directors allowing for political expressivity, with its emphasis on artistic freedom which creates a space for non-dominant and potentially subversive representations and themes, and as another hostile universe given its more elitist and auteurist orientation. The thesis adopts a case study approach, looking at a number of contemporary art films from diverse socio-political contexts. It thus provides a comprehensive account of how women are positioned within art cinema as subjects and as filmmakers. The thesis uses a social historical approach in looking at the texts as well as the contexts these texts operate within. In analysing how female directors voice feminist concerns through a negotiation of political and artistic preoccupations, the thesis aims to reclaim art cinema as a cultural field that brings the marginal closer to the mainstream and thus functions for feminism as the site of productive ideological dialogue.

This thesis investigates the intersection of art, feminism and postwar memory in Japan through lens of artist Yoshiko Shimada. Coinciding with unprecedented geopolitical shifts occurring in the final thaw of the Cold War, the year 1989 marks a fraught moment in Japan when spectres of the nation's imperialist past and its historical entanglements acquired renewed potency in the wake of Emperor Hirohito's death. Born in 159, Shimada gained international prominence in the 1990s for her critique of the national body, in particular, the relationship between women and the imperial wartime state. Her work, which unapologetically confronts Japan's WWII aggressions in Asia, its wider histories of occupation, and issues such as the fiercely contested legacies of former 'comfort women' vitally reflects on the social role and agency of art and artist in a climate of political unease emergent at Showa's close. Based on extensive interviews with the artist and research into her primary archive, this is the first comprehensive survey chronicling Shimad;s twenty-five year oeuvre. It situates her practice between two vectors: feminism in Japan and its engagement with Western scholarship, and traces the 1990s 'feminist turn' led by art historians such as Chino Kaori, who began to champion the application of gender perspectives in the study of Japanese art. Within the wider Asian region, the concurrent development of transnational women's art' networks, exhibitions and publications dovetailed with the burgeoning of performance art was protest. As one of the most outspoken feminist art activists of her generation, Shimada has borne key witness to the changing cultural conditions informing women artists' organised activities and the writing of their social histories. This interdisciplinary study incorporates a range of perspectives drawn from art history and gender studies, film and performance theory, memory and trauma studies, Japanese studies and cross-cultural scholarship. It highlights the formal and conceptual interactions between printmaking, performance, installation and lens-based media in Shimada's practice, and demonstrates the plural ways in which her reflexive aesthetics and visual strategies express the tensions and complexities characterising processes of remembering, forgetting and representing the past. By interweaving arguments about the crucial role of feminism in challenging dominant narratives of nation, race, sex and ethnicity, with critical perspectives central to discourse on postmodern Japan, questions are raised concerning the implications of gender, tradition and popular culture for art produced in this age of anxiety. The recent proliferation of problem-oriented, politically engaged practices following the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami marks an ostensible 'return to the social' and departure from privileged tropes of 'Japaneseness' in artistic experimentation. Taking this into account, this thesis proposes that revisiting the recent history of feminist art interventions reveals valuable insights into the role of art in understanding and addressing trauma, and engaging marginalised histories and communities. This is exemplified by Shimada's work, which offers a powerful vantage point from which to contemplate art's political inflections, its social potential and the urgency of memory work both in Japan, and in our contemporary societies today.

The research subject of this PhD thesis is femininity and feminism in art practices in Serbia: 1970-2010. The study is dedicated to art production of the authors from Serbia taking into consideration both theoretical and practical knowledge and sources. This thesis will contribute to the literature from the domains of art theory and art history of international and Serbian resources primarily because of its multidisciplinary approach. It will also help spreading the knowledge about the topic because it is realized in English as the official language of academic research thus making it material available for future studies outside the borders of Serbia. The theoretical contribution of this thesis addresses issues of construction of femininity in Serbia and analyzes the visual language of artworks relevant for the topic; it also provides an overview of art practices connected to the themes; besides that, it offers an insight into local feminist tendencies. In addition, what is also important is that it supplies interviews realized with the artists as the source for future research and study. Furthermore, theoretical and analytical methods are applied for selection and interpretation of the representative artworks and for the analyses of texts from the various fields of studies. The set objectives in this thesis have been confirmed through research results and their conclusions that underline local specificities on one side and follow general characteristics in art practices in Serbia on the other. Male dominance in patriarchal societies is maintained by cherishing gender stereotypes that are obvious in the dynamics that objectify woman but also in her positioning in the art world. In the domain of anthropological research, even though there are local specificities, it can be said that femininity in art reached the more general, "omnipresent" tendencies in representations of feminine identity. Speaking from the point of view of historical particularities, ideology and politics have actively and continuously participated in the construction of "femininity" (and "masculinity") that reflected on the art production of a more radical, original, and distinct character. As the media are mirroring social relations and gender inequalities, in conjunction with the dominant ideology, also transition and globalization influenced the topics and visual strategies of Serbian artworks. Keywords: art, femininity, feminism, artwork, art practice, Serbia, performance, visual, image, representation, identity, gender, popular culture, woman, socialism, ideology, stereotypes, mythology, interview
El tema de investigación de esta tesis doctoral es la feminidad y el feminismo en las prácticas artísticas en Serbia: 1970-2010. El estudio se dedica a la producción artística de los/as autores/as de Serbia teniendo en cuenta los conocimientos teóricos y prácticos. Esta tesis contribuirá a la literatura del área de conocimiento de la teoría del arte y la historia del arte de los recursos internacionales y serbios principalmente debido a su enfoque multidisciplinario. También ayudará a difundir el conocimiento sobre el tema ya que se realiza en inglés, idioma oficial de la investigación académica, por lo que el resultado estará disponible para futuros estudios más allá de las fronteras de Serbia. La contribución teórica de esta tesis aborda cuestiones de construcción de la feminidad en Serbia y analiza el lenguaje visual de las obras de arte relevantes relacionadas con el tema. Además, ofrece una visión general de las prácticas artísticas que se pueden englobar en el ámbito de estudio, ofreciendo una visión de las tendencias feministas locales. Cabe destacar la parte dedicada a las entrevistas realizadas a las artistas que son un posible punto de partida para futuras investigaciones y estudios. Se han aplicado métodos teóricos y analíticos para la selección e interpretación de las obras representativas y para el análisis de textos de los diferentes campos de estudio. Los objetivos establecidos en esta tesis se han confirmado a través de los resultados de la investigación y sus conclusiones que subrayan las especificidades locales por un lado y siguen las características generales en las prácticas artísticas en Serbia por el otro. La dominación masculina en las sociedades patriarcales se mantiene en los estereotipos de género que son evidentes en la dinámica que objetualiza a la mujer, pero también en su posicionamiento en el mundo del arte. En el campo de la investigación antropológica, aunque existen especificidades locales, se puede decir que la feminidad en el arte encaja con las tendencias más generales, "omnipresentes", en las representaciones de la identidad femenina. Hablando desde el punto de vista de las particularidades históricas, la ideología y la política han participado activa y continuamente en la construcción de la "feminidad" (y "masculinidad") la cual en la producción artística refleja un carácter más radical, original y distinto. Mientras que los medios de comunicación reflejaban y producían también las relaciones sociales y las desigualdades de género, junto con la ideología dominante, lo mismo sucedía con el periodo de transición del comunismo al capitalismo y la globalización que influyeron en los temas y estrategias visuales de las obras de arte serbias.

El tema d¿investigació d¿aquesta tesi doctoral és la feminitad i el feminisme en les pràctiques artístiques a Sèrbia: 1970-2010. L¿estudi es dedica a la producció artística dels autors i autores de Serbia tenint en compte els coneixements teòrics i pràctics. Aquesta tesis contribuirà a la literatura de l¿àrea de coneixement de la teoria de l¿art i la història de l¿art dels recursos internacionals i serbis principalment degut al seu enfocament multidisciplinari. També ajudarà a difondre el coneixement sobre el tema tenint en compte que es fa en anglès, idioma oficial de la investigació acadèmica, de manera que el resultat estarà disponible per a futurs estudis més enllà de les fronteres de Sèrbia. La contribució teòrica d¿aquesta tesi aborda questions de construcció de la feminitat a Sèrbia i analitza el llenguatge visual de les obres d¿art rellevants relacionades amb el tema. A més, ofereix una visió general de les pràctiques artístiques que es poden englobar en l¿àmbit d¿estudi, oferint una visió de les tendències feministes locals. Cal destacar la part dedicada a les entrevistes realitzades a les artistes que són un possible punt de partida per a futures investigacions i estudis. S¿han aplicat mètodes teòrics i analítics per a la selecció i interpretació de les obres representatives i per a l¿ anàlisi de textos dels diferents camps d¿estudi. Els objetius establerts en aquesta tesis s¿han confirmat mitjançant els resultats de la investigació i les seues conclusions que subratllen les especificitats locals per una banda i segueixen les característiques generals en les pràctiques artístiques en Sèrbia per una altra. La dominació masculina en les societats patriarcals es manté en els estereotips de gènere que són palesos en la dinàmica que objectualitza a la dona, però també en el seu posicionamient al món de l¿art. En el camp de la investigació antropològica, tot i que existeixen especificitats locals, es pot dir que la feminitat en l¿art encaixa amb les tendències més generals, "omnipresents", en les representacions de la identitat femenina. Parlant des de el puntde vista de las particularitats històriques, la ideologia i la política han participat activa i continuament en la construcció de la "feminitat" (y "masculinitat") la qual cosa reflecteix en la producció artística un tarannà més radical, original i diferent. Mentre que els mitjans de comunicació reflectien i produïen también les relacions socials i les desigualtats de gènere, junt amb la ideologia dominant, el mateix succeïa amb el periode de transició del comunisme al capitalisme i la globalització que varen influir en els temes i estrategies visuals de les obres d¿arte serbi.

The Assumed Divide is a visual arts based, practice-led research project which explores expectations of gender within the context of interpersonal relationships, structured through feminist theory. I created a collection of small, figurative sculptures inspired by experiences of animosity and misunderstanding, to locate areas of gendered interpersonal ambivalence. This thesis proposes that feminism might enhance gender relations by deconstructing harmful stereotypes and by encouraging empathy and respect for diversity. Issues such as reproductive choice, intergenerational debate, and uncertainty in aims are discussed as apparent impediments to the unity of feminism, against a patriarchal tradition that grants men categorical universality. I argue that by dismantling the perception of male unification and by elucidating the multitudinous similarities and variances of human experience, feminism makes advances in eliminating sexism. I also examine how binary gender division, with an assumption of distinct difference between male and female, generates conflict and power dynamics advantageous to men, diminishing the quality of heterosexual and social relationships. The observation that overlapping gender traits blur boundaries of male and female, and that rigid categorisations are not indisputably representative of all people, may offer more points of connection to bridge the divide of gender. Each artwork in The Assumed Divide reflects on gendered experience, with sculpted depictions of disintegrated flesh acting as visual manifestations of the psyches and social conditions of the figures. Working realistically on a small scale, and integrating found silver trays as motifs of domesticity and relationships, my intent is to directly stimulate contemplation of the themes in context to viewers’ lives, recognising that the audience is free to find their own meaning in the works. Discussion of these pieces, alongside works by other artists who broach topics of feminism, gender, and relationships, exemplifies the capacity for art to infuse theory with personal insight, inspired and derived from the lives of both artist and viewer.

The canon of Western art history provides a selection of artists that have supposedly made an 'original' contribution to stylistic innovation within the visual arts. Although a process of selection cannot be avoided, this procedure has resulted in a Eurocentric and patriarchal art canon. For example, the Western art canon consists of certain white male artists who are given exclusive authority and are often referred to as the 'fathers of art'. As the status of a 'father of art' pertains to the highest level of achievement within artistic creativity, I argue that this excellence in creativity is based on a gender specific criteria. This issue refers to the patrilineage within Western art history and how this father-son model, in a general sense, excludes women artists from the canon. Further, the very few women included in the art canon are not given the equivalent status as a 'father of art'. I address this patriarchal bias through focussing on the father/daughter relationship as a way of challenging the patrilineage within Western art historys patrilineage. Through this process of intervention, I position the daughter an assertive figure who directly confronts the fathers of Western art. Within this confrontation, I emphasise that the daughter has an assertive identity that is also beyond the father. On this premise my paper is based on the argument that the application of a father/daughter model, within a metaphorical and mythological sense, is useful in subverting the father figures within Western art history. That is, I construct myself as the metaphorical and mythological daughter of the Dada artist, Marcel Duchamp and the Fluxus artist, Joseph Beuys. As an assertive daughter, I insert myself into the patriarchal framework surrounding these two canonical figures in order to decentre and subvert their authority and phallocentric art practice. It is important to note that both Duchamp and Beuys are addressed as case studies (not as individual arguments) that illustrate the patriarchal constructs of the art canon. Within this premise, I draw upon the female artists Sherrie Levine and Jana Sterbak who directly subvert Western father figures as examples of assertive daughter identities. Within this exploration of the assertive daughter identity, I discuss feminist psychoanalysis (particularly the 'object relations' theorist Nancy Chodorow and the French feminist, Luce Irigaray) in order to offer metaphorical representations of the assertive daughter. These metaphors also assist in subverting the gender (male) specific criteria for creativity under the 'law of the father'.

Within this premise, I draw upon the female artists Sherrie Levine and Jana Sterbak who directly subvert Western father figures as examples of assertive daughter identities. Within this exploration of the assertive daughter identity, I discuss feminist psychoanalysis (particularly the 'object relations' theorist Nancy Chodorow and the French feminist, Luce Irigaray) in order to offer metaphorical representations of the assertive daughter. These metaphors also assist in subverting the gender (male) specific criteria for creativity under the 'law of the father'.

In this paper, I argue that the performance artist Orlan uses feminist tactics of subversion in her presentation of the body as art. I enter the feminist debate over Orlan's work to indicate that the critics who consider the history of performance art produce more fecund discourse. At the same time, I encourage more discussion over the racial dimensions of Orlan's art, which I describe as de-colonizing her body's representation.

Este estudio nace de la preocupación feminista por la violencia de género, la pobreza y las asimetrías de presión política sobre las sociedades. La relación entre Arte y sociedad es un hecho que impregna la realidad artística contemporánea con especial vindicación en el feminismo, que ha ido señalando otros valores éticos diferenciales, un ejemplo de ello sería: la solidaridad, como motor de cambio en su objetivo de denuncia y reparación. Esta investigación comenzó con la creencia de que el arte puede hacer algo por la sociedad y con la preocupación de que el arte no puede hacer nada. La pregunta de “¿El arte nos salva de algo?” conduce a un largo recuestionamiento cuyas respuestas se hilvanan a partir de propuestas y producciones que crearon y produjeron debates sobre el feminismo, en el contexto coreano y europeo. En consecuencia, los trabajos de esta investi- gación se concentran en qué tipo de actitud y posición particular tuvieron y tienen las/os artistas. Para ello se presentan una serie de ejemplos en los que el proceso artístico se convierte en el resultado en una obra de arte, al demostrar la propia política que el artista desarrolla como trabajador del arte, en lugar de dar prioridad a una actitud política ideológica para la producción de la obra. En otras palabras, examinamos que la política de las/os artistas no es la única que puede hacer arte, y esta observación supone que ofrece y da la libertad de ampliar el concepto de identidad de un artista y de cómo ser artista hoy. Al mismo tiempo, se refiere al proceso de mostrar y repensar los limites en el arte, específicamente el límite entre el arte como praxis y el rol de las/os artistas en la sociedad en la que vivimos. En conclusión, el estudio de “Betweenness” es una reflexión del papel político que tienen las/os artistas desde perspectivas no solo feministas sino femeninas. El discurso está estructurado por seis obras que crean interrogantes y abren un debate sobre el feminismo entre ellas y fuera de ellas, y nos permiten pensar sobre como la política de la vida se convierte en arte.
This study was born out of feminist concern about gender-based violence, poverty and asymmetries of political pressure on societies. The relationship between art and society is a fact that permeates contemporary artistic reality, with special vindication in feminism, which has been pointing out other differential ethical values, an example of which would be: solidarity, as a motor of change in its objective of denouncing and repairing. This investigation began with the belief that art can do something for society and with the concern that art can do nothing. The question of “Does art save us from anything” leads to a long reexamination whose answers are threaded through proposals and productions that created debates on feminism, both in the Korean and European context. Consequently, this study concentrates on what kind of attitude and particular position the artists had and have. To this end, a series of examples are presented in which the artistic process becomes the result of a work of art by demonstrating the very politics that the artist develops as an art worker, instead of giving priority to a political ideological attitude for the production of the work. In other words, we examine that the politics of artists is not the only one that can make art, and this observation assumes that it offers the freedom to broaden the concept of an artist’s identity and how to be an artist today. At the same time, it refers to the process of showing and rethinking the boundaries in art, specifically the boundary between art as practice and the role of artists in the society we live in. In conclusion, the study of “Betweenness” is a reflection on the political role of artists from not only feminist but also female perspectives. The discourse is structured by six works that create questions and open a debate about feminism among themselves and outside of them, and allow us to think about how the politics of life becomes art.

The thesis explores the visual narrative concerning a journey of empowerment for women. To enable the journey to advance the inquiry is directed into two areas. The first area is female gender, which is argued to be socially constructed and implicit in the marginalisation of women in western society. The second area is feminine authority, which is gained by developing an understanding and acceptance of the characteristics which have historically been considered as belonging to the feminine. Granting these characteristics agency would recognise their authority and assist in the elevation of the female to a position of equality in western society. Beginning from a feminist position, the research supported the belief that the female is marginalised in western society. It also confirmed the notion that empowerment and authority can be attained by women if they actively pursue the following; Explore their own psychology beyond the existing socially constructed gender roles. Develop an understanding of their feminine self by applying Jung's theories on individuation and archetypes. Expose the underlying patriarchal influence in western epistemology and science by challenging existing deeply held cultural and scientific beliefs and by actively contributing as feminists to the areas of epistemology and science. Archetypal myths of the feminine have developed from an androcentric position. They enforce and perpetuate gender imbalance which contributes to the disenfranchisement of women in western society, Individuation is a process in which a person explores aspects of themselves to bring forth parts of their unconscious into their conscious mind in an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. As a consequence the consciousness develops closer links with archetypal memories which assists the exploration. The true feminine is the feminine not restricted or defined by the dominant androcentric view. Knowledge of the feminine empowers women to address the marginalisation of the female in western society and assists in the process of gaining female authority. This enquiry also investigated the four stages of female psychological development with regard to patriarchal influences. Of particular importance is the second stage of psychological development where the female identifies with historically perceived inferior characteristics of the female. This is when she rejects her connections with the primacy of female power and her deep connections with nature which were inherited from archaic times. It is at this stage that she absorbs the myths associated with western patriarchal society which effectively disempower her. Western epistemology, with its emphasis on objective investigation and empiricism contributes to the support for and promotion of inferior female gender. This type of investigation is brought into question when areas of research into primates and human evolutionary theory is shown to develop from an androcentric view. Western knowledge has associations with power and justice and power is commonly associated with dominance. Regard for truth and absolute can be viewed as key elements in the support for knowledge and its associations with power. Knowledge has historically maintained suppression of individual experience which promotes a universalised account. This suppression of beliefs other than the dominant authority maintains the existing dominant social structure. Foucault's view of the genderised or inscribed body alerts us to areas where dominance, resistance and power play a part in maximising masculine power and control. Gender becomes an instrument of power within the existing patriarchal structure. Gender, knowledge and power are identified as areas obstructing female empowerment. Part 3 of this exegesis examines the imagery which embodies the visual narrative. Particularly, the harlequin image, its historical background and connections with ancient mythology including reference to Jungian psychology. The harlequin image is developed sequentially in the earlier black and white drawings on paper. These drawings contained a female figure which was often placed in juxtaposition with a Venus or goddess image, reference was also made to eve and the siren. These elements provided the framework which enabled the harlequin image to emerge and evolve. The narrative developed with an understanding of the feminine aspects of the psyche which resulted in the harlequin acquiring the elevated authority of a goddess. The Harlequin evolved from my need for symbolic representation of the female psyche. It represents contradiction and dualism. It is a composition of opposites, reflects masculine and feminine traits, the dark and light of the conscious and unconscious mind, it houses both comic and sinister elements, is a trickster and menace. The costume, colours and patterns are expressive elements conducive to fragmentation and layering within the composition of the paintings. Jung examined the harlequin in Picasso's paintings. He concluded that as Picasso drew on his inner experiences the harlequin became important as a symbol; it was a pictorial representation from the unconscious psyche. It travelled freely from the conscious to the unconscious and represented the masculine and feminine, chthonian and apollonian. The final painting in the series, a triptych, completes the narrative and stands alone as a salutatory work. It unites the series by combining existing compositional devices and technique while making reference to imagery from previous works, The Three Graces Victorious, expresses the authority of the feminine. It completes a victorious stage of a journey where the harlequin is empowered by archaic memories and knowledge of the psyche. The feminine is hailed, elevated and venerated. Other elements which assist in expressing the visual narrative are; colour, technique and influence. Colour is explored and its use as an emotive devise in expressionism. Paul Klee's writing on the use of colour and it's symbolic meaning and Julia Kristeva's investigation on colour from a psychoanalytic and semiotic view are also discussed. To indicate influences and connections within my oeuvre, reference is also made to the following: Jasper Johns' for his use of imagery in his Four Seasons series with it's reference to a journey of maturation and Louise Bourgeois' work which deals with issues of gender, memories and past journeys. Although The Three Graces Victorious; the concluding painting for the investigation is celebratory and represents a finality to the thesis, it points to further areas that impede feminine development and need future examination. Reference is made to a continuation of the exploratory journey by plotting the Harlequin/Goddesses future directions. Although the Harlequin/Goddess is empowered with newly acquired authority, her future journey does not need to be bound by mathematics or limited by rationality. She does not require power to dominate or gender structures to subjugate, but requires limitless boundaries and contexts. The Harlequin/Goddess's future journey is not fixed.

This thesis brings feminist ontologies into a renewed dialogue with post-phenomenological landscape studies through the development of a critical arts-research practice. Contemporary landscape scholarship in cultural geography foregrounds landscaping practices as performative; visual culture studies, similarly influenced by phenomenology, critiques the powerful fixings of representation; whilst current commentaries on art-geographies focus on questions of interdisciplinarity, rather than the potential for art practice-as-research to be generative of politically complex cultural geographies. Landscape, replete with complex power geometries and tension, both resists fixing and framing, and also becomes defined or imaged by these same operations. My goal in this thesis is to find a way of working, as an artist, with an understanding of landscape as being continually in eventful—and sometimes violently eventful—process, beyond conventional framings of image and landscape. Initially, this art practice (undertaken as research within cultural geography) worked with a violent flash flood and resultant loss of life, and was set against the backdrop of picture-postcard West Cornwall. Whilst focused through practice on this usually trickling mile-long moorland stream, something happened. This research became infected by concurrent geo-political events. Through practice in the studio, the violent lifeworld of the stream collided with an activist project associated with the 2014 Gaza conflict. Land and image became both occupied and ghosted. This corporeal and material collision of practice(s) afforded a productive entanglement of practice and theoretical engagement. My search for a way of working with landscape as an artist that accounts for the unpalatable dimensions of material formations, for the dying within living, for the exclusions, subjugation, violence, or even extinctions of landscape—led me to realise that I cannot stand back innocently and safely behind the camera, outside of the frame. I propose that landscape is inherently violent, and that as such, landscaping practices are always politically differentiated and situated. It is a violence in which there can be no innocent place of on-looking; we are all mutually implicated in landscape and landscaping-practices, and indeed, the ghosts of our own vulnerabilities are never far away. The thesis demonstrates that the unpredictability and riskiness of researching through a critical arts practice, can produce the conditions for disruptive interventions generative of new ways of (body)knowing in the world. These ways of knowing serve to confront the violence and contradictions of a fast changing enviro/geopolitical landscape. Working from within an art practice—as geographical research—contributes a perspective of political complexity and generative encounter, in which unexpected collisions, between things, practices, and bodies function to produce spatial connections beyond contemporary analysis.

Art History
M.A.
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.

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.

“In Speculum I wrote that to re-establish a political ethics a dual dialectic is necessary, one for the male subject and another for the female subject (pp223-4). Today I would say that a triple dialectic is necessary: one for the male subject, one for the female subject and one for their relationships as a couple or in a community. The weak and strong point of this quest concerns the issue of subjectivity and objectivity for women.” Pg 39 Irigaray, L (1994) Thinking the Difference: for a peaceful revolution trans Karin Montin, Routledge New York The Feminine Fictions project takes on Irigarays challenge for "A Peaceful Revolution” to find its genesis between men and women through enabling dialectics - an interaction between masculine and feminine subjectivities at the point of difference and within the context of relationship and community. For Irigaray, historically repressed feminine subjectivities must continually be (re)constructed/ transgressed in order for such dialectics to be both possible and empowering. In Feminine Fictions I take up Irigarays engagement in the hope that doing so will re-create bonds of relationship and community for and with women that yield such enabling returns. To do so I use the axes of symmetry and scale that Irigaray identifies - working from the subject to the transcendent, from the cosmic to the divine and from the microcosmic to the macrocosmic. Masculine and Feminine appear as continually coalescing co-ordinates rather than limits in these axes, moments of opportunity rather than fixed references points and using subjectivity as a portal for viewing the cultural construction of “objective” experience. I adopt Irigarays mechanisms of mimesis, alterics and transgression (Irigaray 1981 a & b, 1985 a & b, 1986,1987 a&b, 1989, 1990, 1994, 1999,2000) through autobiography (Miller 1991, Benstock 1988, Brodzki & Schenk 1988) to inquire into my own embodied, engaged subjective experiences. I work from that position to cross and re-cross ontological thresholds, and through that continual movement, to articulate feminine subjectivities that arise in dialogue with the Other, amongst community. Feminine Fictions poses a series of questions: What can embodied aesthetic engagement reveal through/for “the feminine” as a site of difference? How does this impact through/on my particular ontological and subjective experiences (and vice versa)? How is this significant for contemporary feminisms? I use written and factured terms – aesthetic practice and performance - to re-member, generate and extend my subjective experience and finally articulate and record that experience of being-in-the-world in response to these concerns (MacDonald: Swindells 1995). The project culminating in an embodiment of the ontological research through an installation and performance event at Fremantle Prison on December 8 2002 involving 55 members of my epistemic community (Babbit: Alcoff & Potter), including my family. The evening provided an opportunity to undertake multiple ‘readings’ of the work and a way to mimetically re-construct my personal inquiry process in collective terms. The organising metaphorical structure of the event, the Stations of the Cross, foregrounded the incarnational aesthetic of embodied difference, ontological construction and transgression central to the project (Bozarth 1997, Irigaray 1986 & 2000). The prison became a laboratory that could be used collectively and personally by each participant to explore their own embodied experiences of being-in-the-world and explore their own ontological orientations and philosophies-in-action. The entire project was then produced into an exegetical theses as a CD ROM in website format to extend the proposal of embodied ontology into cyberspace and contemporary technological constructs (Wiley: Price & Shildrick 1999). The website format also allowing for a labyrinthine structure that can bring together the factured and conceptual work through geographical space into the alteric space of the internet.

This paper investigates the Western image of the Muslim woman in the context of contemporary art. Through my art practice I use the veiled woman cipher to reflect on personal experiences whilst broadening definitions and displacing hegemonic representations of veiling and Muslim women in an Australian cultural context. These are exemplified through autobiographical elements, parody in the Extremist Activity series, performative interventions illustrating the concept of the body as an occupied site and architectural devices that (re)create notions of inclusion, exclusion and otherness in space. From loquacious and overbearing noblewomen to helpless harem slaves awaiting rescue by her Orientalist saviours, an analysis of the development of the Muslim woman’s image throughout history reveals the shifting and contingent nature of her role in the Western imagination. Finally, an examination of current representations of Muslim women in Australian contemporary art demonstrates how these images often repeat and reinforce, rather than depart from, Orientalist and neo-Orientalist constructs.

'Feminine Rhyme' is a sequence of objects and paintings that resonate with women's experience in contemporary culture. The components I have used are: the structure of the grid, aggressive surface handling, and language derived from text. I have reconfigured these elements to direct the viewer in exploring layers of information that can be viewed in fragments as well as understood within the containment of a sound whole. I have explored the relationship of gender identity in our culture, and the role women play in association to masculine power. Through repetitive use of the grid, combined with isolated words and images, I have created paintings that can be read either in a formal manner through the use of structure and materials that are visually pleasing, or in context to a visual dialogue of contemporary gender myths. By fragmenting text in the form of torn book pages, I have altered and personalized the order, lending weight to chaos. Words become a form of mark making, a lyrical device to be read at random. I have obscured the imagery by hiding the text, leaving only scattered bits of information. These bits are derived from a 'therapeutic model' found in self help books, diet books and romance novels which exploit "feminism" as a commodity, serve as cultural documents, and influence women as to how they should perceive their bodies, their minds, their freedom. The end result is a visual interplay of form and color within the context of personal testimony and societal conditioning of the female experience in contemporary culture.

The outward form of the text in which the spiritual search is housed is 'performance-ritual', that is, performed 'ritual'. This genre has its 'performance' roots in the dance pioneers and its 'ritual' roots in the Christian church. The contents of this performed text is influenced by an emerging ecofeminist consciousness. In this way, the thesis has a grassroots inspiration as well as crossing academic areas of performance studies, ritual studies, and feminist spirituality. The project begins by an examination of 20th Century feminist and ecofeminist writing on spirituality, which evokes the subjective, embodied and historically contextualised, with particular focus on body and nature. Additional concepts of place, holding and letting go are introduced. Particular performance-rituals are introduced under the overall heading 'the spiralling journey of exorcism and ecstacy'. They include earlier work, as well as work performed specifically for this thesis, Centre of the Storm. The study re-situates 'ritual' as a subjective, embodied and contextualised performed event. It challenges ritual discourse to incorporate 'spirit', and feminist spirituality to incorporate the material world, through 'place', 'family', and the ritual actions of 'holding' and 'letting go'.

Resumo: Esta dissertação tem como objetivo investigar as contradições entre gênero e classe no teatro de grupo paulistano através dos modos de produção e da análise da representação poética da mulher no espetáculo A Brava da Brava Companhia, única peça deste coletivo a colocar em protagonismo uma figura feminina, em contraste com a construção poética das mulheres nos demais espetáculos e experimentos da Cia (O Errante; Este lado para cima; Corinthians, meu amor; Júlio e Aderaldo; Quadratura do Círculo; JC; Show do Pimpão). A Brava Companhia faz parte do movimento de teatro de grupo paulistano, formado por grupos que têm como premissas centrais o trabalho continuado, a pesquisa de linguagem e a relação profícua com o contexto social em que estão inseridos. Foram realizadas entrevistas com a Companhia e, principalmente, com as mulheres, destacando a participação delas nas funções artísticas, administrativas e nas instâncias decisórias do grupo, questionando os poucos registros da atuação feminina na Companhia e considerando que seu modo de produção, incluindo as relações de gênero, reflete diretamente na construção poética.

Abstract: This dissertation aims to investigate the contradictions between gender and class in the São Paulo theater group through the modes of production and analysis of the poetic representation of woman in the play A Brava, the only play of the Brava Company group, which spotlights a female figure in contrast to the poetic construction of women in the other experiments and performances from this company, such as O Errante; Este lado para cima; Corinthians, meu Amor; Júlio e Aderaldo; Quadratura do Círculo; JC; Show do Pimpão. The Brava Company is part of the theater movement of the paulistano group, formed by groups that have, as central beliefs, the continuous work, the language research and the meaningful relation with the social context in which they are placed. Interviews were conducted with the company, mainly with women, in order to highlight the female's participation not only in artistic and administrative roles, but also in group decision-making situations, in a way to question the few records of female performance in the company and to consider how their mode of production, including gender relations, reflects directly on poetic construction. Regarding a few feminist theories, some intertwined with the theater (ROMANO, 2009, ANDRADE, 2008, VICENZO, 1992) and the dialectical epic theater (DIAMOND, 1997, POLLOCK, 1989), and others with marxism and socialism (SAFFIOTI, 2014) and the history of women (PERROT, 1992; 2015), a feminist interpretation of the group trajectory was m...

Justina Goldbeck 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.

This thesis examines the performance art of Serbian artist Marina Abramović from 2010 to today following her emergence into mainstream media with the success of her performance The Artist Is Present (2010). This thesis investigates Abramović’s approach to performance and how the roles of artist and viewer change in face of increased fame, documentation, and age. The thesis argues that as Abramović ages, she is becoming increasingly preoccupied with her fame and with securing her legacy and that this concern is reflected by her increased documentation and self-promotion, as well as her interest in transitioning into the role of teacher rather than artist. This thesis ends with an optimistic look at the opening of The Marina Abramović Institute in late 2015 as a new type of institute in which Abramović's presence and legacy will be mediated not through the static and limited representation of photographs and relics but by the experiences and actions of the visitors themselves.

This paper is a conceptual, theoretical, and methodological exploration of my MFA thesis project (Dis)connections. My work combines time-based media, objects, and performance into a single installation that represents my struggles with anxiety and my desire to connect with people socially. My work is ultimately about the complexity of the structures of language and communication in all their forms and representations. I draw on research into feminist theory and gender studies as well as cultural theory as a way to ground my work in political and social issues that are continually relevant in Western culture, and to propose that by situating my stories within larger structures of power they have the ability to connect to a wider group of people.

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'.

Anyone moderately familiar with the rigours of composition will not need to be told the story in detail; how he wrote and it seemed good; read and it seemed vile; corrected and tore up; cut out; put in; was in ecstasy; in despair; had his good nights and bad mornings; snatched at ideas and lost them; saw his book plain before him and it vanished; acted his people's parts as he ate; mouthed them as he walked; now cried; now laughed; vacillated between this style and that; now preferred the heroic and pompous; next the plain and simple ... [Virginia Woolf. 1977. Orlando. London: Grafton Books, p. 51) And in the creation of this documentation there has been a question of style. How to write and present the written documentation so that it is complementary to and in harmony with the visual representation, both in terms of content and tone? The answer has been to use the game as a metaphor and to cut the deck three ways: First is the theoretical framework covering the broad perspective of the social environment, the women's movement and the art arena. It is the objective section, but it is written to reflect a "life's experiences" approach rather than a purely academic interest in the subject matter. Set in a games framework, with fictional titles, it provides the more "all knowing" element in the discussion. Second are the autobiographical details presented under the guise of Alice. These stories have been written in a more childlike, innocent fashion reflecting the often unwitting involvement of players in the matrix of social games. Third are the visual images of the artwork. The artwork itself is not directly discussed but rather included where appropriate throughout the text, drawing from the theoretical and/or the personal.

As a Chinese woman who was once oppressed, and may still be, this thesis project is my initiative to reclaim dignity for those who were oppressed and honour those who helped improve women’s status in Chinese history. Linda Nochlin asking, ‘Why have there been no great women artists?’ inspired me to question Why have there been no great Chinese feminist artists? Simultaneously, Gerda Lerner’s argument on the ‘absence of Women’s History’ motivated me to reclaim Chinese women’s history. This thesis attempts to answer my question through an exploration of women’s contributions to Chinese history. This thesis explores women’s abilities prior to their oppression in the patriarchal order of China’s past. It portrays women’s thousand-year struggle against the patriarchal backdrop, wherein Chinese women and female artists inherited the traits projected onto them. I highlight the gender inequality experienced by contemporary Chinese female artists in the global art world, and their self-identified struggle to be named as ‘feminist artist,’ revealing Chinese women are still submissive to men in ‘Post-Patriarchy.’ In my attempt to examine gender equality issues, many scholars’ and artists’ works are utilized, including Bao Jialin, Ch’ü T’ung-Tsu, Amelia Jones, Li Youning, Li Xueqin, Liang Qichao, Lu Xun, Sally E. Merry, Laura Mulvey, Elizabeth A. Sackler, Sally J. Scholz, Wang Ermin, Wong Hon-lap, Xu Hong, Yuan Ke, and Zhuangzi. The artworks of Judy Chicago, Chen Qingqing, Tao Aimin, and Yin Xiuzhen are also discussed, exploring the similarities they share with me in reclaiming women’s history through artmaking. In addition, the feminist works of Lin Tianmiao and Cui Xiuwen, as well as my own work, are examined to show how contemporary Chinese female artists reject the label of ‘feminist.’ My artwork History can be forgotten and falsified; the purpose of my artwork is to refresh and leave a lasting memory of Chinese women’s suffering and experiences of oppression. Following the flow of my research, my installation work Woman•Horse, 2014–16, mourns the souls of Chinese women lost to history. It contains ten ceramic sculptural works. Each individual piece includes a narrative that describes the lives of and challenges faced by Chinese women from the formation of the cosmos to the present day. The long white strips (signifying footbinding bandages) and red threads hanging down amidst the sculptures embody the long-term oppression of Chinese women and a trace of history. This work has been exhibited at Sydney College of the Arts in September 2016.

Thesis advisor: Susan A. Michalczyk
Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) was a progressive artist who used art as a cathartic means to live through the death of her son in WWI and grandson in WWII. Trapped in the sexist generation of early 20th century Germany, Käthe defied the society in which she lived to create art that served as an empathetic mouthpiece for society's marginalized. She created thousands of lithographs and hundreds of sculptures depicting war, death, and poverty. Käthe found beauty in the struggle of the working class and constantly used her physician husband's patients as subjects of her work. As she continued into the socialist realm, she made enemies with German leaders, including Adolph Hitler. Her work fiercely rejected Germany's involvement in World War I and condemned Hitler's Third Reich near the onset of World War II. Käthe's use of bleak colors and disturbing subject matter penetrates the viewer's comfort zone. The viewer is unable to turn away from her work without feeling guilt, and is forever haunted by her prudent recognition of truth
