A presente investigação tem por objeto a atuação de Yolanda Penteado como gestora da arte moderna em São Paulo e no Brasil. A pesquisa pretende refletir sobre os mecanismos de gestão da arte brasileira no período entre as décadas de 1940 e 1960 - período no qual ocorrem as constituições do Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (MAM SP), do Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), da Bienal de São Paulo, dos Museus Regionais e do Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo (MAC USP), delineando o ambiente cultural e estético paulistano e o início do intercâmbio internacional através de mecenas como Francisco Matarazzo Sobrinho, o Ciccillo, Assis Chateaubriand e, particularmente, Yolanda Penteado. Discute-se o papel de Yolanda Penteado como gestora das artes modernas, ou seja, mecenas e líder na criação de coleções, eventos e instituições. Nessa direção, as estratégias metodológicas adotadas no trabalho envolvem suportes interdisciplinares, relacionando História, História da Arte, Estética e outras áreas do conhecimento. O estudo recorre à autobiografia de Yolanda - Tudo em Cor-de- Rosa -, de 1976, à biografia Yolanda, de Antonio Bivar, publicada em 2009, às cartas, aos telegramas, às fotos, aos recortes de jornais, revistas e aos documentos oficiais presentes nos arquivos particulares e institucionais, tais como: Wanda Svevo (pertencente à Bienal de São Paulo), MAC USP, MASP, Fundação Cultural Ema Gordon Klabin, entre outros. Além disso, devem ser mencionadas entrevistas com pessoas que foram próximas a Yolanda Penteado e visitas técnicas à Fazenda Empyreo, que ainda hoje guarda objetos e reminiscências de sua presença. / The intention of this research is to assess the performance of Yolanda Penteado as a manager of modern art in São Paulo and Brazil and to reflect on the workings of art management in Brazil from the 1940s to 1960s, when the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (MAM SP), the Art Museum of São Paulo (MASP), regional museums, the Contemporary Art Museum of the University of São Paulo (USP MAC) and the Biennale São Paulo were all founded. It also aims to put her work into the context of the cultural and aesthetic environment in São Paulo at that time, during which she and other art patrons, such as Ciccillo Matarazzo and Assis Chateaubriand began international exchanges. This research explores Yolanda Penteado´s role as a manager, patron and leader of collection creation, modern art institutions and events and how her work adopts strategies and methods from various disciplines, including History, Art History, Aesthetics and other knowledge bases. Reference is made to previous publications by Antonio Bivar: All in Pink-Rose (1976), and Yolanda Biography ( 2009), letters, telegrams, photos, newspaper clippings, magazines and official documents, all of which are kept in private and institutional archives, such as: Wanda Svevo (belonging to the Bienal de São Paulo), MAC USP, MASP, and the Ema Gordon Klabin Cultural Foundation. It contains content from interviews with people who were close to Yolanda Penteado and details visits to the Empyreo farm, which still keeps objects and reminders of her presence.

The purpose of this dissertation is to conduct a comprehensive study of Roman women's portrait busts of the third century AD. The free-standing portrait bust forms a discrete historical category through which to trace developments in third-century women's portraiture. The high-status, commemorative tradition of the bust and the durability of this format, which could be displayed and utilised in a large range of different contexts, made this an important portrait genre for women in the third century. These busts consequently offer powerful insight into the ideological function and status of Roman women in the third century. By placing third-century women's busts in the context of their form, history and provenance, I hope to create a methodology that allows me to ascertain the ancient intention of these portraits. My hypothesis is that, while elements of self-styling and bust-format reveal innovation, the moral vocabulary of Empire as presented in women's portrait busts did not change dramatically in the third century. I will argue that these portraits reflect the heightened ideological status of certain forms of Roman femininity in this period. Rather than being expressive of spiritual escapism or emotional turmoil women's portrait busts functioned as a means of re-confirming the Roman rhetoric of feminine virtue in the third century.

Modern studies of Classical Greek battle devote little attention to the role and importance of the general in achieving battlefield success. As a result of this the general is reduced to a simple leader of men whose only influential decision was where and when to fight, and whose major role was to provide inspiration by fighting in the front ranks. A modern conception of Hellenic fair play in warfare has further limited the importance of the general to Greek armies: apparently advanced manoeuvring and tactics were deliberately rejected in favour of a simple and direct test of strength and morale. I do not believe this to be the case, and in this study I demonstrate the importance of the general to Greek armies by offering a new analysis of his role in hoplite battle.

La sculpture d’Himachal Pradesh connaît entre le septième et le quatorzième siècle un grand développement, dû à un bouleversement des conditions religieuses et politiques en Inde du Nord. Des souverains locaux légitiment alors leur pouvoir sur les vallées qui constituent cet état montagneux du nord de l’Inde en utilisant, entre autres procédés, la construction de temples et la dédicace d’images. Ces dernières révèlent, par leur iconographie et par leur style, certaines des conditions historiques et politiques dans lesquelles elles ont été créées. Grâce à une observation des oeuvres, regroupées en quatre grands ensembles spatio-temporels, nous avons tenté, dans cette thèse, de mettre à jour les transferts d’influences artistiques à la fois entre l’Himachal et les régions voisines et en Himachal même. Cette observation nous a également permis de proposer des hypothèses sur l’histoire des dynasties locales et sur leurs pratiques religieuses. / Changes in the political and religious situation in Northern India at the beginning of the medieval period caused new developments in the sculpture of Himachal Pradesh between the 7th and the 14th centuries. By using, among other means, the construction of temples and the consecration of images, local kings seeked to legitimize their power. Thus, the sculptures, through their iconography and their style, reveal some of the historical and political conditions in which they were created. By means of a strict observation of those works, classified in four groups by their localisation and datation, we tried, in this thesis, to distinguish some of the processes of artistic influences, between Himachal and neighboring regions, as well as in Himachal itself. This careful examination allowed us then to speculate about the history of local dynasties and about their religious practices.

[pt] Esta dissertação pretende contribuir para uma maior compreensão da poética da artista CARMELA GROSS através de uma abordagem que identifica relações plásticas, históricas e conceituais em seus territórios poéticos. Na diversidade das suas obras, a artista ativa territórios móveis, em constante definição subjetiva de um lugar poético, onde a multiplicidade simbólica desses territórios atua no espaço urbano e nos museus como jogos estéticos a serem experimentados. A artista constrói por meio de um conjunto de experiências e ações poéticas um vocabulário plástico próprio, em uma trajetória artística que revela a pesquisa constante em busca de novas descobertas no universo plástico. Do ambiente artístico da formação de Gross, em meados dos anos 1960, em São Paulo, surgiram questões que permearam suas pesquisas ao longo de seu percurso, trazendo problemáticas estéticas que instigam o experimentar e o vivenciar de um território artístico singular. Gross articula discursos (potentes e singelos) sobre a arte e a sociedade contemporânea, expandindo e contaminando tanto os ambientes dos museus (e galerias de arte) como os espaços das cidades. Portanto, a presente pesquisa teve como finalidade construir uma cartografia que contribuísse para expor a multiplicidade de olhares e reflexões, como entendimentos (provisórios), das forças que atuam na poética de Gross. / [en] This Dissertation wants to contribute to a greater understanding of the artist CARMELA GROSS poetics through an approach that identifies plastic, historical and conceptual relations in her poetics territories. On the diversity of her works, Gross active mobile territories, in constant subjective definition of a poetic place, where the multiplicity symbolic of these territories operate in urban areas and museums as aesthetic games to be experienced. The artist builds through a set of experiences and poetics actions an own plastic vocabulary, in an artistic trajectory that reveals the constant search for new discoveries in plastic universe. By the artistic environment of the Gross formation, in the middle of 1960, in São Paulo, questions emerged and permeated her research throughout her journey, bringing aesthetic problems that instigate the undergoing and the experience of a singular artistic territory. Gross articulates discourses (potent and simple discourses) on contemporary art and society, expanding and contaminating both the environments of the museums (and art galleries) and the spaces of the cities. Therefore, the present research had as intent build a mapping which would contribute to expose the multiplicity of views and reflections as (provisional) understanding of the forces which acting in the poetics of Gross.

A pesquisa apresenta uma análise sobre o Curso de Especialização em Arte/Educação da Escola de Comunicações e Artes da Universidade de São Paulo, que esteve ativo entre 1984 e 2001, fundado pela Profa. Dra. Ana Mae Tavares Bastos Barbosa e pela Profa. Dra. Regina Stela Barcelos Machado, procurando estabelecer um estudo histórico de seu desenvolvimento na universidade e refletindo sobre sua importância no cenário de transformações da área de Arte/ Educação nas últimas décadas no país. Além disso, o estudo busca compreender as proposições formativas promovidas por este curso de pós-graduação lato sensu que, potencialmente, impulsionou o desenvolvimento de seus alunos, alguns dos quais, posteriormente, seguiram suas próprias pesquisas, em nível de mestrado e doutorado, e ingressaram na carreira acadêmica, tornando-se formadores de arte/educadores. Para tanto, foram realizadas análises de documentos dos arquivos da Comissão de Cultura e Extensão Universitária da ECA e do Núcleo de Apoio à Cultura e Extensão em Promoção da Arte na Educação (NACE/NUPAE), bem como a captação de relatos de nove pessoas envolvidas no curso, entre fundadoras, excoordenadoras, ex-professoras e ex-alunos, incluindo minha própria narrativa. Assim, neste trabalho, a narrativa foi adotada em um processo ambivalente tanto como caminho de pesquisa pelos dados recolhidos como pelo aporte teórico de reflexões sobre formação de educadores, apoiado em Paul Ricouer, John Dewey, Walter Benjamin e Regina Machado, permitindo o reconhecimento do Curso de Especialização em Arte/ Educação da ECA/USP (1984-2001) como um desvio propositor na estrada da formação de educadores, ou seja, como uma ousada iniciativa que marcou presença nas transformações do panorama da Arte/Educação no Brasil. / The research presents an analysis about the Specialization Course in Art/Education of the Escola de Comunicações e Artes da Universidade de São Paulo, which was active between 1984 and 2001, created by Dr. Ana Mae Tavares Bastos Barbosa, and Dr. Regina Stela Barcelos Machado, seeking to establish a historical study of its development in the university and reflecting on its importance in the scenario of transformations of the area of Art/ Education in the last decades in the country. In addition, the study seeks to understand the formative propositions promoted by this lato sensu postgraduate course that, potentially, stimulated the development of its students, some of whom subsequently pursued their own research, at master\'s and doctoral level, and entered the academic career, becoming teacher educators themselves. In order to do so, analyzes of documents from the archives of the Comissão de Cultura e Extensão Universitária da ECA and the Núcleo de Apoio à Cultura e Extensão em Promoção da Arte na Educação (NACE/NUPAE) were carried out, as well as the capture of reports of nine people involved In the course, between founders, former coordinators, teachers and students, including my own narrative. Thus, the narrative was adopted in an ambivalent process in this work, both as a research route for the collected data, as well as by the theoretical contribution of reflections about teacher education, supported by Paul Ricouer, John Dewey, Walter Benjamin and Regina Machado, allowing the recognition of the Specialization Course in Art/Education of the ECA/USP (1984-2001) as a purposeful detour on the road of teacher\'s education, in other words, as a daring initiative that marked its presence in the art/education\'s scenario in Brazil.

[pt] A tese investiga a trajetória intelectual da crítica de arte, historiadora e professora da Columbia University, Rosalind Krauss. Dividida em cinco capítulos, a pesquisa contempla as fases históricas de seu exercício analítico, da década de 1960 aos dias atuais. Para isso, elege como ponto de partida a hipótese de seu percurso intelectual ser abordado enquanto sobreposições de correntes formalistas distintas, com especial destaque para o formalismo greenbergiano, o formalismo russo e o estruturalismo francês. Pretende-se comprovar que Krauss, mesmo em um contexto notadamente pluralista das práticas artísticas contemporâneas, jamais descarta refletir a respeito das estruturas formais que engendram as obras, isto é, de seus mediums. A obra da ensaísta é aqui considerada enquanto um prisma através do qual é possível identificar distintas vozes que circunscrevem o seu campo discursivo: a apologia histórica da arte abstrata de Clement Greenberg e Michael Fried; a geração de pensadores em torno dos periódicos estadunidenses Artforum e October; a fenomenologia de Merleau-Ponty, a filosofia analítica do segundo Wittgenstein, o estruturalismo de Roland Barthes e Jacques Lacan; e, ainda, o pós-estruturalismo de Jacques Derrida. Deseja-se, com isso, oferecer ao leitor brasileiro uma leitura crítica da obra completa de uma das principais vozes da crítica de arte contemporânea estadunidense. / [en] This thesis looks at the work of the art critic, art historian and professor of Columbia University, Rosalind Krauss. Organized in five chapters, it contemplates the historical phases of her intellectual trajectory, from the 1960s to the present day. The hypothesis that guides this work runs as follows: Krauss essays should be organized as overlapping layers of distinct formalist currents, with special emphasis on Greenbergian Formalism, Russian Formalism and French Structuralism. This research intends to demonstrate that Krauss, even in a remarkably pluralistic context of contemporary artistic practices, has never discarded reflecting on the formal structures that engender the art works, that is, their mediums. The essayist s contribution is here considered as a prism through which it is possible to identify distinct voices that circumscribe her discursive field: the historical apology of abstract art by Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried; The generation of thinkers around the American periodicals Artforum and October; Merleau-Ponty s phenomenology; later Wittgenstein s philosophy; Roland Barthes and Jacques Lacan s structuralism; And Jacques Derrida s poststructuralism as well. In short, this project offers to Brazilian readers a critical reading of the work done by one of the dominant voices of contemporary art criticism.
