Akt Kobiecy: Sztuka, Obscena i Seksualność

Rate this book
Każdego, kto interesuje się historią sztuki, niewątpliwie uderza duża liczba obrazów z przedstawieniem ciała kobiety. Akt, bardziej niż jakikolwiek inny temat, konotuje sztukę. Obraz przedstawiający kobiece ciało oprawiony w ramy i wiszący w galerii jest stenograficznym zapisem sztuki jako takiej, znakiem rozpoznawczym zachodnioeuropejskiej kultury, symbolem cywilizacji i jej dokonań. Zastanawiające jest, jak i dlaczego akt kobiecy uzyskał tak wysoką rangę.

W "Akcie kobiecym" Lynda Nead łączy w całkowicie nowy sposób analizę tradycji kobiecego aktu z omówieniami współczesnej sztuki feministycznej. Badając, jak powstają i funkcjonują akceptowalne i nieakceptowalne przedstawienia ciała kobiety, nadaje nowy wymiar dyskusjom o kulturze wysokiej i masowej.

Jest to pierwsze feministyczne omówienie najbardziej istotnego tematu zachodniej sztuki. Głos w dyskusji na temat autorytetu patriarchalnych granic - granic płci i tożsamości, sztuki i obscenów, dozwolonego i zakazanego.

preocupado principalmente por la cuestión de la respetabilidad del cuerpo femenino desnudo y su obscenidad. me aspa un poco la parte en la que habla de cine feminista porque el discurso está demasiado reducido a la intención de la artista "pretende incomodar a través del cuerpo entonces debe ser feminista y valioso" (y eso que los ejemplos me interesan)

Quite good, unfortunately lacking sufficient intersectionality.

Kadın bedeni, cinsellik, sanatta kadın bedeninin, kadının işlevi, anlamlandirilmasi üzerine oldukca keyifli bir metin. Feminist bir yöntemle yazılmış bir kitap. Ben ingilizce çeviri yapacağım diye helak ettim kitabı, metne parçalarına ayira ayira cümle cümle paragraf paragraf okudum butunsellikten biraz uzaklaştım ama sanat tarihinde kadının konumuna dair yerinde tespitleri var. Resimler, fotoğraflarla da desteklenmiş bir kitap. 100 küsur sayfa. İnce bir kitap. Okunmalı. Başka bir yerden kadına, bedene, sanata bakmak isteyenler için keyifli olacağını düşünüyorum.

Really interesting read which affirmed some beliefs and challenged others, besides positing her own opinions on the subject Nead also provides a great meta-analysis of the topic, with various pull quotes from a range of examples and publications.

One of the best feminist perspectives on women’s experience through art. So many incredibly interesting takes and so important in building a deeper understanding of the portrayal of women in art and society

Really good book for an overview. I have no background in art history or appreciation, probably a less than average grasp of history even, but this book was an interesting guide through painting and the female nude. A book I was happy to read for a class.

I read The Female Nude and found it incredibly helpful for my thesis on the nude body in art. It offers a thorough historical overview of how female nudes have been portrayed and understood across different periods.
