A Semiotic reading of gendered subjectivity in contemporary South African art and feminist writingDe Gabriele, Mathilde Daatje Johanna Fenna 30 November 2002 (has links)
This dissertation investigates the correlation between semiotic theory and the way that
gendered subjectivity is represented in contemporary South African art. The phenomenon
of signification is central to the semiotic theories of the Bulgarian semiotician and
psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva. Semiotics can be described as the science of the sign that
considers the way in which artists express their personal experience in art making.
In this investigation I refer mainly to women's artworks, although the concept of
gendered subjectivity in the work of male artists is also discussed. This particular
research investigates the symbolic relations of culture in gender terms, that explores the
apparent contradictions of subjectivity inherent in capitalist patriarchal society. / Art History, Visual Arts & Music / M.A. (Visual Arts)

The artist's role as collector of memory and selfThomas, Lee Ann 11 1900 (has links)
Artworks that use found or appropriated images and objects
often function as collections. These collections simulate the
everyday collections of mementos and souvenirs that come to
represent aspects of an individual's personality and past. The
collections of objects mirror the individual's collection of memories
that help to define himself and provide a means of communication
with others. The artist as collector takes on roles similar to that of
storyteller and anthropologist, providing a narrative of conscious
preservation. Through various devices of display and denial a
curiosity cabinet I Wunderkammer representing and simulating a
Self is created and the role of collector is passed on to the viewer. / Art History, Visual Arts & Musicology / Thesis (M.A. (Art History))
