The purpose with this essay is to study if the exhibition, Maria-Drömmen om kvinnan has a gender perspective and if it contributes to the history of art. The study shows what kind of women the exhibition illustrates and what kind of perspective it has. By telling about the black Madonna I also show that there is another representation of the middle age women in the Roman Catholic Church at this time that the exhibition not have included. The study is also going to illustrate the difference between a genderperspektiv in art and a women’s perspective. I use the world of art and a study from the government to explain how the gender perspective can be used.

Nesta dissertação, foi analisada a maneira como os estereótipos dos italianos são representados no roteiro de Os eternos desconhecidos, considerado este filme inaugural da commedia allitaliana. Para tanto, inicia-se com uma introdução sobre a commedia dellarte e a importância que teve posteriormente na cultura cômica italiana, principalmente na commedia allitaliana. Em seguida, apresenta-se o percurso do cinema italiano, partindo das comédias chamadas telefoni bianchi, passando pelo neorrealismo e chegando à commedia allitaliana. O período neorrealista do cinema italiano iniciou no imediato pós-guerra (1945), tendo seu período de produção mais importante entre 1945 e 1948. Paralelamente, desenvolveu-se a commedia allitaliana que, com características próprias, dava continuidade aos temas neorrealistas. As mudanças bruscas ocorridas relativamente em curto espaço de tempo, entre o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial (1945) e a retomada econômica da Itália (décadas de 50 e 60), repercutiram em uma mudança comportamental dos italianos, resultando em um novo modelo identitário. Assim, a commedia allitaliana apresenta os retratos/estereótipos do novo italiano. Neste trabalho foram analisados dez personagens de Os eternos desconhecidos que, colocados em confronto entre si, refletem as mudanças sociais e de mentalidade dos italianos nesse momento inicial do boom econômico. / In this dissertation, an analysis was made of how the stereotypes of the Italians are represented in the script of Big deal on Madonna Street, which was considered the inaugural film of the commedia all\'italiana. Therefore, it begins with an introduction about the commedia dellarte and the importance it had on the Italian comedy culture later on, mainly on the commedia all\'italiana. Next, the course of the Italian cinema is presented, starting from the comedies telefoni bianchi, passing through the neorealism and arriving at the commedia all\'italiana. The neorealist period of the Italian cinema began immediately at the post-war (1945), having its most important production period between 1945 and 1948. At the same time, it was developed the commedia all\'italiana which, with its own characteristics, gave continuity to neorealist themes. The abrupt changes that took place, in a relatively short time, between the end of the World War II (1945) and Italy\'s economic recovery (in the fifties and sixties), had repercussions in the behavioural change of the Italians, which resulted into a new model of identity. Thus, the commedia all\'italiana presents the portraits / stereotypes of the new Italian. In this work, ten characters of Big deal on Madonna Street were analysed, which, once placed against each other, reflect the social changes and the mindset of the Italians during this economic boom.

This thesis explores Roman Catholic and secular responses to sexual imagery in popular culture. The Catholic and socio-philosophical responses may be subdivided according to specific ideal types to elucidate the major ideological and ethical movements operative within these two hermeneutical traditions. I use the media luminary Madonna as a case study to illustrate the inadequacy of much that Catholic and secular cultural critics have written about religiously ambiguous and sexually provocative popular culture phenomena. Typically, secular critics neglect the religious implications of such phenomena, while Catholic critics overlook their ideological implications. I shall demonstrate both that hermeneutical exclusivity weakens the two major approaches and that only methodologies which take seriously both Catholic and secular insights are appropriate for analyzing this aspect of popular culture.

Throughout history, sex and sexuality has been a subject for many debates. It has been regulated through both authorities and social norms. Female sexuality has been seen both as a symbol for motherhood and as a sin. Women have also been judged both for their virginity and their lack of it. This matter appears regularly in the media, whereas women still are objectified and judged for how they choose to exert their sexuality. Therefor, we have chosen to study how this appears in teenage movies in modern times, through a case study of the movies Easy A, Juno and The first time. We want to examine which kind of messages that are transmitted to youths about women and their sexuality. We have used the variables informal sexual education, slut shaming, victim blaming, the madonna/whore complex and objectification. Our results shows that women’s sexuality still is criticized and regulated by society and its values.

Abstract In this Research paper and through my Studio practice, I search for what binds me and separates me from my children. I investigate abjection theories through Julia Kristeva and Georges Bataille and focus on a particular form I call the maternal abject. This occurs at the time an infant separates from its mother, acquires language and maps its own body. I am proposing that the mapping of the body is the point at which an individual perceives social structures and learns about prohibitions and taboos, hence the abject. I also investigate the relationship between the maternal abject and the artistic process through the writings of Kristeva. Abjection is illustrated through the works of Mona Hatoum, Fiona Hall, Hieronymus Bosch, and Paul Quinn. The maternal abject is illustrated through the works of Mary Kelly, Cindy Sherman, Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois. A possible reading of the maternal abject is given through the works of Gregory Crewdson, Joel-Peter Witkin and Francis Bacon. The studio work is in two parts. The first part is a series of layered photomedia images. The layers consist of a naked female body, which has been merged with Renaissance like Madonna and Child images. Texture, such as stones and spikes, is embedded to signify the fragility and strength of the body. Children are also present and are merged with the adult female body. All images are cradled in a darkened atmosphere in order to draw the viewer inside the images. The second part is a bassinet, which has been drilled and pierced by thousands of pearl-headed steel pins. This piece signifies the dichotomy of the motherhood experience, which on the one hand is rewarding and fulfilling and on the other an abject and isolating experience of no apparent economic value. The two parts interact so that the bassinet piece with its threatening exterior acts as an aggressor towards the photomedia images.

Parcerias entre realizadores das instâncias performática e diretiva resultaram em clipes com êxito estético, visibilidade e repercussão duradouras, além de reconhecimento advindo de instâncias específicas de consagração. O presente trabalho procura investigar a incidência da atuação de cantores/bandas e diretores no campo de produção do formato sobre a definição de estilos autorais nos vídeos musicais. Com base na contribuição teórica de Pierre Bourdieu, a tese propõe a caracterização do campo do videoclipe, um espaço de disputas no qual determinados realizadores pleiteiam e alcançam o poder de gestão de sua própria criação, mesmo em um contexto de produção coletiva inserido na indústria do entretenimento. Essa habilidade de exercer o controle da elaboração dos clipes é fruto da trajetória social de artistas musicais e diretores, durante a qual esses realizadores incorporam um sistema de estruturas cognitivas, disposições e gostos (habitus) e acumulam recursos diversos (capitais) necessários e convenientes à atuação no campo específico. Através da retomada histórica do contexto produtivo do formato e de seus principais agentes, foi proposta ainda uma classificação das distintas gerações de diretores de clipes. Buscou-se demonstrar que o domínio de alguns realizadores durante a produção e as relações forjadas no campo do videoclipe entre determinados artistas musicais e diretores possibilitam a conformação de estilos passíveis de serem evidenciados no exercício analítico de conjuntos videográficos. Como a perspectiva autoral desenvolvida foi concebida como uma mediação entre contexto e texto, o trabalho articula a inspiração bourdieusiana com abordagens poéticas voltadas para os modos de construção e programação de efeitos em obras expressivas. A identificação estilística dos videoclipes apresenta-se como uma tarefa abrangente. A começar pela observação da relevância do estilo de um clipe na demarcação de atratividade e singularidade, estímulos indispensáveis para o destaque da obra na concorrida exibição televisiva. São descritos e analisados no formato: 1) os modos de organização interna que diferenciam um recurso, tema ou efeito de um clipe em traço de estilo, 2) a afirmação estilística de realizadores com o passar do tempo e 3) os graus de coexistência, síntese ou concorrência entre artistas musicais e diretores nos clipes. Definiu-se ainda uma tipologia dos estilos de performances videoclípicas, que põe em relevo as contribuições dos artistas musicais no formato. A tese traz a análise da totalidade dos vídeos musicais criados pelas parcerias estabelecidas entre a cantora Madonna e o diretor Jean-Baptiste Mondino – 6 (seis) clipes – e entre a cantora Björk e diretor Michel Gondry – 7 (sete) clipes. No enquadramento proposto, comparam-se tais videoclipes e seus autores com outras obras e realizadores para identificar quais os elementos da trajetória desses profissionais na história do campo do videoclipe permitiriam ao analista reconhecer e interpretar seus estilos textuais.
