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 / Doutorado / Artes Visuais / Doutor em Artes

The purpose of this thesis is to give a concise view of stylistic, iconographical, and iconological trends in Southern genre paintings and illustrations between 1830 and 1890 by native Southern artists and artists who lived at least ten years in the South. Exploration of artworks was accomplished by compiling as many artworks as possible per decade, separating each decade by dominant trends in subject matter, and researching to determine political and/or social implications associated with and affecting each image. Historical documents and the findings of other scholars revealed that many artworks carried political overtones reflecting the dominant thought of the white ruling class during the period while the significance and interpretation of other artworks was achieved by studying dominant personal beliefs and social practices.

This thesis in two volumes is a study of the paintings of David ill Ryckaert (1612- 1661 ). Ryckaert grew up in a family of artists, and painted within a close community of fellow artists. According to several twentieth-century critics, Ryckaert was no more than a minor imitator of other Flemish painters. Underlying such relegation of Ryckaert is an uncritical and distinctly Modernist glorification of originality, or merely novelty. The chief argument of this thesis is that a careful reconstruction of the socio-cultural circumstances ofRyckaert's work calls into question the destructive employment of originality as a criterion of artistic greatness. Much of the vocabulary of Flemish art of the time was established. Artists thus proved their excellence both to fellow painters and a public fully conversant with the artistic traditions of subject and style, if such pictorial conventions were notably refmed or treated with a remarkable grace. Embracing the criteria of personal style and the beauty of the work, this environment is clearly averse to the blank veneration of new or original art. I argue that the term originality is itself dangerous therefore and that to neglect Ryckaert's work as that of a minor imitator is invalid and unhelpful. A careful examination of Ryckaert's known oeuvre reveals that his work is distinguished by a fine modelling, harmonious composition and a warm palette with colourful highlights. Although he relied on an established iconographic repertory, he maintained creative variation, thereby ensuring a steady demand. Ryckaert's imitation of other artists' work requires us to adjust twentieth-century criteria which tend to be pejorative of those who borrow from fellow artists. In fact Ryckaert could be said to have refmed his individuality as a painter through the testing creative encounter with and imitation of other artists. / Art / D.Litt. et Phil. (History of Art)
