O trabalho é desenvolvido em três capítulos: o primeiro volta-se à investigação da biografia do pintor, suas produções pictóricas e literárias e os contextos nos quais ele e sua obra se inserem; no segundo verificam-se propriedades do narrador e a narrativa sob o ponto de vista de Walter Benjamim; por último, é feita uma comparação entre as características do narrador benjaminiano e Iberê Camargo, bem como a identificação dos aspectos narrativos da série Ciclistas do Parque da Redenção. / This work consists in a study of the series Ciclistas do Parque da Redenção, executed by Iberê Camargo during the decade of 1980. The objective is to identify narrative elements in the series considering as theoretical frame the text The Storyteller of Walter Benjamin. This work is developed in three chapters: the first is dedicated to the biography of the painter, his pictorial and literary productions and the context in which the painter and his work are inserted; in the second the properties of the narrator and narrative are verified according to Walter Benjamins point of view; finally, a comparison between the characteristics of Benjamins narrator and Iberê Camargo is made, as well as the identification of the narrative aspects of the series Ciclistas do Parque da Redenção.

盧那察爾斯基(Anatoly Lunacharsky, 1875-1933)於1917-1929年間擔任蘇聯教育人民委員部(Narkompros)首任委員，在任期間發表了大量關於藝術的文章及報告，其在蘇聯藝術發展史中扮演極為重要的角色，然而他以藝術達到社會主義理想的主張與正統馬克思主義的經濟決定論十分不同，他相信群眾意識才是推動革命的必要條件。而他從在俄國十月革命之前就抱持這種想法，因此曾一度主張將宗教與社會主義結合，使革命意識成為一種宗教情感而深植人心，而這種想法受到被極度反對宗教的列寧的嚴厲批評，隨後這種想法才轉向以藝術來實現。 在盧那察爾斯基思想中可見到實證主義(Positivism)、費爾巴哈(Ludwig Feuerbach)宗教哲學、尼采(Friedrich Nietzsche)哲學與華格納(Richard Wagner)的色彩，這使盧那察爾斯基的藝術理論在眾多馬克思主義美學家中顯得獨樹一格，本論文主要透過盧那察爾斯基的著作，並加上中西學者對於盧那察爾斯基的研究，不以馬克思主義為中心來理解盧那察爾斯基的藝術思想，探討盧那察爾斯基對於藝術與革命的認知與實踐。 / Anatoly Lunacharsky(1875-1933) was the first Commissar of The People's Commissariat for Education(Narkompros) from 1917-1929. During his tenure, he published many articles and reports about the arts and played a very important role in the history of artistic development in the Soviet Union. However, his proposal to achieve the ideal of Socialism through the arts was very different from the orthodox economic determinism of Marxism. He believed that mass consciousness was a must to promote the revolution. He already held this idea long before the October Revolution in Russia. Thus, he once advocated combining religion and Socialism, making revolutionary consciousness into a religion deeply rooted in everyone’s mind. Nevertheless, this idea was severely criticized by Lenin, who was very opposed to religion. Afterward, Lunacharsky’s thoughts changed, turning instead to realize ideals through art. The influences of Positivism, Feuerbach’s philosophy of religion, Nietzsche’s philosophy and Wagner’s concept of art can be seen in Lunacharsky’s thought, making his views on art unique among Marxist aestheticians. In this paper, instead of understanding Lunacharsky’s theory of art in the context of Marxism, discussion will focus on Lunacharsky’s works and Chinese/Western scholars’ studies on Lunacharsky in order to learn more about Lunacharsky’s thoughts and practice of art and revolution.

This study examines the interaction between portraits by the exponent of French colourist painting Nicolas de Largillierre (1656–1745) and elite spectatorship in the early eighteenth century as enactment of the idea of painting as an art of pleasing the eye. As developed in the theory of art of Roger de Piles (1635–1709), the idea of painting as an art of pleasing the eye coexisted with the classicist view, which in turn emphasised the potential of painting to communicate discursive meanings and hence to engage the mind. The idea of painting as an art of pleasing the eye was associated with a taste that valued the pictorial effects of painting and related to the ideal of honnêteté, which expanded on the art of pleasing in polite society by means of external appearances as a sign of social distinction. The aim of the study is to explore how portraits by Nicolas de Largillierre address the spectator and how such paintings might have come to have meaning for spectators in the early eighteenth century. To do this, the study takes a performative approach and defines meaning as a product of the interplay of pictorial effects and spectatorial response, progressing from the initial encounter throughout the sustained exploration of the paintings. Building on close analyses of selected paintings and readings of texts that bear on issues of pictorial imitation, spectatorship and social interaction, the study brings into focus the interplay of cognitive and sensory activities, including verbal articulation and bodily movement, which come into play in the production of meanings through the act of spectatorial experience. The study also emphasises the interplay of the mimetic and the material aspects of the paintings as an important bearer of meanings and identifies several interrelated sites of tension in which the pictorial effectiveness of the portraits resides. The study concludes by suggesting that to infer such meanings, the spectator should be prepared to respond to the address of the paintings actively, by engaging the mind, the senses and the body. Such an interpretation of the interaction between portrait paintings and spectators proposes a complex view of the ways in which artistic and spectatorial practices in the early eighteenth century might have interacted to create meanings while reproducing at the same time social and aesthetic conventions and ideals, such as the art of pleasing the eye. / <p>Fulltexten går inte att ladda ned eller att skriva ut pga upphovsrättslliga skäl.

Lévi-Strauss percebe na arte das sociedades modernas três diferenças fundamentais em relação à arte das chamadas sociedades primitivas, o academicismo, o representacionismo e o individualismo. De acordo com o autor, o impressionismo e o cubismo teriam, respectivamente, se voltado contra as duas primeiras características, podendo ser entendidos como movimentos revolucionários. Uma questão que se coloca nesta dissertação é em que medida a terceira característica, o individualismo, foi enfrentada por movimentos contemporâneos da arte, como arte conceitual, e como a estética de Lévi-Strauss poderia ser utilizada na compreensão de movimentos como a arte pop e a arte conceitual. / Levi-Straussart theory shows that modern and contemporary art have three differences which sets them apart from the so-called primitive arts.

Na segunda metade do século XX, a relação entre pintura e fotografia se modifica.. Pintores como Andy Warhol e Gerhard Richter partem de imagens ordinárias e esquemáticas como modelo para as suas pinturas. Warhol assume os procedimentos gráficos e seriais dos meios de comunicação de massa, Richter representa com óleo sobre tela a superfície e a luz da imagem fotográfica. Essas novas práticas têm impactos decisivos na história da arte. Esta tese pretende levantar as relações entre pintura e fotografia na obra de Warhol e Richter. Tentaremos relacioná-los com um contexto mais amplo da arte do pós-guerra na Europa e nos Estados Unidos e entender como isso sugere uma mudança no sentido da arte depois da década de 1960. / From mid 20th century, the relations between painting and photography changes. Painters like Andy Warhol and Gerhard Richter use ordinary and schematic images as a model for their paintings. Warhol assumes the graphic and serial procedures of the mass media, Richter represents with oil on canvas the surface and the light of the photographic image. These new practices have a decisive impacts on the history of art. This thesis aims to raise questions on the impact of the photography in the work of Warhol and Richter. We will try to relate them to a wider context of postwar art in Europe and the United States and to understand how this suggests a change in the direction of the visual arts after the 1960s.

[ES] La investigación empieza con un análisis y cartografiado del sistema global del arte en la actualidad, así como la contextualización histórica del avance y desarrollo del concepto de arte asociado a la economía. El desarrollo del financiamiento de las artes y sus situación estructural es estudiado para poder analizar el fenómeno desde la perspectiva del materialismo dialéctico. La importancia de la economía radica en que es el motor del cambio en la percepción del arte entre su utilidad y un bien suntuario. Esta situación es relevante para establecer un vínculo entre la actividad artística y su relación social. Eso es lo que nos da las bases socio-económicas estructurales para ligarlo a la filosofía política anarquista. Estudiamos las características del pensamiento libertario desde las dos perspectivas, los clásicos anarquistas que dividían su pensamiento entre las cuatro ramas clásicas, el Anarquismo Individualista, el Anarquismo Comunista, el Anarquismo Sindicalista y el Mutualismo. Las cuatro vertientes del pensamiento ácrata contemporáneo Anarquismo Feminista, Anarquismo Cibernético, Anarquismo Ecologista y el Neo-zapatismo son estudiados para definir sus bases estructurales y los cambios al pensamiento clásico anarquista y nos ayuden a resolver las dinámicas de dichos cambios, para trasponerlos al estudio y práctica de las artes. Finalmente demostramos que las prácticas artísticas contemporáneas poseen el mismo espíritu de libertad que el pensamiento anarquista, una búsqueda constante por lo nuevo no puede darse dentro de los sistemas reconocidos o interpretados en el espacio-tiempo que define a los periodos artísticos. Ello lleva a los artistas a rebelarse de forma natural a los patrones existentes, no existirá nada nuevo dentro de lo conocido, y la transgresión se hace absolutamente necesaria. Esto comprueba la idea inicial de que la filosofía política anarquista posee las bases fundamentales para una creación artística, ambas son formas de alcanzar la libertad como forma de responsabilidad y el uso de la praxis como forma de conseguirla. Sentando así las bases teóricas para una de las posibles Teorías Anarquistas del Arte. / [CAT] La investigació comença amb una anàlisi i cartografiat de el sistema global de l'art en l'actualitat, així com la contextualització històrica de l'avanç i desenvolupament del concepte d'art associat a l'economia. El desenvolupament de l'finançament de les arts i els seus situació estructural és estudiat per poder analitzar el fenomen des de la perspectiva de l'materialisme dialèctic. La importància de l'economia radica que és el motor de l'canvi en la persepción de l'art entre la seva utilitat i un bé sumptuari. Aquesta situació és rellevant per establir un vincle entre l'activitat artística i la seva relació social. Això és el que ens dóna les bases socio-econòmiques estructurals per lligar-ho a la filosofia política anaquista. Estudiem les característiques de la pensada liebrtario des de les dues perspectives, els clàssics anarquistes que dividien el seu pensament entre les quatre branques clàssiques, l'Anarquisme Individualista, l'Anarquisme Comunista, l'anarquisme Sindicalista i el mutualisme. Les quatre vessants de la pensada àcrata contemporani Anarquisme Feminista, Anaquismo Cibernètic, Anarquisme ecologista i el Neozapatismo són estudiats per definir les seves bases estructurals i els canvis a la pensada clàssic anarquista i ens ajudin a resoldre les dinàmiques d'aquests canvis, per traspolarlos a l'estudi i pràctica de les arts. Finalment vam demostrar que les pràctiques artístiques contemporànies posseeixen el mateix espírutu de llibertat que el pensament anarquista, una recerca constant per la novetat no pot donar-se dins dels sistemes reconeguts o interprestados en l'espai-temps que defineix els períodes artístics. Això porta als artistes a rebel·lar de forma natural als patrons existents, no hi haurà res de nou dins del conegut, i la transgressió es fa absolutament necessària. Això comprova la idea incial que la filosofia política anarquista posseeix les bases fonamentals per a una creació artística, ambdues són formes d'aconseguir la llibertat com a forma de responsabilitat i l'ús de la praxi com a forma d'aconseguir-la. Establint així les bases teòriques per a una de les possibles Teories Anarquistes de l'Art. / [EN] This thesis begins with an analysis and mapping of the global art system today. The historical contextualisation of the advancement and development of the concept of art which we associate with the economy. The development of arts financing and its structural situation is studied to analyse the phenomenon from the perspective of dialectical materialism. The importance of the economy is that it is the engine of change in the pursuit of art between its utility and luxury good. This situation is relevant to establish a link between artistic activity and their social relationship. This is what gives us the structural socio-economic bases to link it to the anarchist political philosophy. We study the characteristics of Anarchist thought from two perspectives, the classic anarchists who divided their thinking between the four classical branches, Individualist Anarchism, Communist Anarchism, Syndicalist anarchism and Mutualism. The four strands of contemporary anarchist thought. Feminist Anarchism, Cybernetic Anarchism, Ecological Anarchism and Neozapatism are studied to define their structural bases and changes to classical anarchist thought and help us to resolve the dynamics of such changes, to transfer them to the study and practice of the arts. Finally, we demonstrate that contemporary artistic practices have the same spirit of freedom as anarchist thought; a constant search for the new cannot take place within the systems recognized or interpreted in the space-time that defines artistic periods. This leads artists to naturally rebel against existing patterns, there will be nothing new within the known, and transgression is necessary. This proves the initial idea that anarchist political philosophy has the fundamental bases for artistic creation, both are ways of achieving freedom as a form of responsibility and the use of praxis as a way of achieving it. Thus laying the theoretical foundations for one of the possible Anarchist Theories of Art. / Lugo Martínez, PÁ. (2020). Hacia una teoría libertaria del arte.

These pages include parts of the process diary, notes on process, reading, as well as photos from my research process.  These are abstracts of my research and therefore curated in their own right to show not only my somewhat sprawling process but also my honest attempt to share how I document and research in my process. These “written expositions” mirrors how I gather material when I work as a performer and performance maker. This document is as much about me finding out what I did in the project as you are attempting to understand the project´s content, methods and results. It is me looking at the produced material from the outside, curating it to try out words on the method, content and material. I have written about the work reflectively at the same time as I invite you into this action. It´s speculative and intimate.   During my master studies in Performing Arts, I have reflected on what it means to be a performer beyond the symbolic meaning of it- such, as being material or representation for someone else work. I have investigated what the performer spends time doing and reflecting on beyond what is seen “on stage”, and present that, whatever it is and looks like. I have then, in my final degree project, looked at how I can use my gained knowledge as a mainly interactive performer in relation to performance arts and black feminism theory to create my own artistic practice.   My aim has been to do this by being, meaning to exist with, breathing with, becoming part of, attending to and situating myself in relation to performance arts and black feminism theory in a mindful manner.

[pt] Se imagem, por sua anfibologia, pode ser tomada como uma proposição dada à contemplação tanto quanto uma operação da consciência, a pintura parece ser um locus privilegiado para observar a intensificação de seus desafios ao pensamento, assim como arena apoteótica de sua neutralização. Este trabalho se empenha em deslindar alguns aspectos do problema das imagens, visando contudo, aclarar a possibilidade de uma reflexão sobre a mímesis na pintura moderna. O trabalho do pintor Édouard Manet (1832-1883) é assim analisado como contra-exemplo da reiteração de uma premência imitativa nas artes visuais – sem que com isso deixe de se enfatizar as profundas conexões estabelecidas entre obra e mundo. Nossa especulação incidirá sobre a formulação do lugar das imagens no pensamento ocidental, a fim de aclarar se algumas proposições iniciais não se apresentam ainda como entraves na reflexão contemporânea. Por não ser de todo corriqueiro, o empreendimento teórico sobre a mímesis, juntado aí a ênfase das imagens como um modo de relação sui generis, permite refletir sobre a ênfase poiética na pintura de Manet, distanciando-a da sombra de ser ela uma mera crônica reiterativa. Esta investigação, portanto, pretende oferecer uma objeção ao mecanicismo imitativo de alguns dos discursos sobre artes visuais. / [en] If image, due to its amphibology, can be taken as a proposition given to contemplation as much as an operation of consciousness, the realm of painting seems to be a privileged locus to observe the intensification of its challenges to thought, as well as an apotheotic arena of its neutralization. This paper endeavors to unravel some aspects of image s surrounding issues, aiming, however, to clarify the possibility of a reflection on mimesis in modern painting. The work of painter Édouard Manet (1832-1883) is thus analyzed as a counter-example of the reiteration of an imitative urge in the visual arts – without neglecting to emphasize the deep connections established between the work and the world. Our speculation will focus on the formulation of images locus in Western thought, in order to clarify whether some initial propositions do not yet present themselves as obstacles in contemporary reflection. As it is not commonplace, the theoretical enterprise on mimesis, along with the emphasis on images as a unique mode of relationship, allows us to reflect on the poietic emphasis in Manet s painting, distancing it from the shadow of being a mere scandalous and repetitive chronicle. This investigation, therefore, intends to offer an objection to the imitative mechanism of some established discourses on visual arts.
