Faith and politics: The socio-political discourses engaged by Mexican ex-voto paintings from the nineteenth-century and beyond.Hamman, Amy 05 1900 (has links)
The Universalis Ecclesiae of 1508 authorized Spanish colonization of the Americas in return for the conversion of native populations to Christianity. From its inception therefore, the Mexican nation lived an alliance between Church and State. This alliance promoted the transfer of Castilian Catholicism to American shores. Catholic practices, specifically the ex-voto tradition, visualize this intermingling of religion and politics. The ex-voto is a devotional painting that expresses gratitude to a religious figure for his/her intervention in a moment of peril. It is commissioned by the devotee as a means of direct communication to the divine. This project analyzes 40 Mexican ex-votos for their reflection of political issues in Mexico. I assert that the Mexican ex-votos engage discussions of social politics. To support this argument, visualizations of socio-political discourses such as the Virgin of Guadalupe as a national religious symbol, police action and economic disparity were examined.

Liberation through Salvation: the Medieval Western European and South African experiences (1860 to 1994) compared through a selection of religious iconographyArthur, Duncan Malcolm 31 October 2007 (has links)
The medieval period (approximately 800 to 1300 AD) in Western Europe is noted for its rich tradition in religious Roman Catholic iconography. Frequently the only art works to be produced in the period, or to have survived, are religious icons of the period reflecting the dominant nature of the feudal structure of society and the oppressive circumstances that led to their execution. The works can be seen as a means of escape, although in an afterlife, or they might also be interpreted as a protest against the oppressive nature of the condition of the artist. The "rigidity" of a medieval existence and the utilisation of religious art as a means of expressing unhappiness with that existence may, as it is argued here, be interpreted as a means of protest. Rigid and oppressive political structures are not isolated to any particular historical period. South Africa too was an oppressive society where the material and political advancement of the majority of the population was stifled through discriminatory legislation and similar means making meaningful protest difficult, if not dangerous. This dissertation argues that religious art too became a means of protest in a manner intended to reflect the religious viewpoints of the artist but with political intentions and subtext. Similar themes in modern South African iconography (from approximately 1850 to 1994) and medieval prototypes are therefore discernible. / History / M.A. (History)

Images in, through and for "The W/Word" : a revisioning of Christian artTruter, Carmen Estelle 30 November 2007 (has links)
During the premodern era, images corresponded to the doctrines of ”The
Word”, but in contemporary society this relationship is open and does not
correspond to the divine Word. Because of our perceived, postmodern
inability to respond to ancient Christian symbols, there is a need to revision
these symbols and Christian spirituality. The result of such a
revisioning would include an ”opening up” of ”The Word” and of traditional,
worn symbols which have lost vitality in this milieu. Art produced with this
in mind needs to make ”The Word” more currently accessible and relevant.
Further, this revisioning would add significance and enhance the possibility
of resurrecting language dealing with ”The Word”. In the process of
revitalising old Christian imagery and language, I aim to show that the
primary role of contemporary Christian art is to function metaphorically.
Finally, I argue that Christian images can take on significance as
contemporary images. / Art History Visual Arts and Musicology / M.A. (Visual Arts)
