This thesis investigates the phenomenon of the contemporary ‘Medusa tattoo’ that gained traction on the social media platform TikTok in 2019 as a symbol of sexual assault survival, and which has since come to function as an instrument for digital feminist activism. The study aspires to provide a new, previously unexplored link to the long chain of academic research on the figure of Medusa by looking at the emergence, function, and potential of the Medusa tattoo. It makes use of multimodal discourse analysis followed by the application of a select number of theoretical frameworks by Hans Belting, Michael Baxandall, Roland Barthes, and Hélène Cixous. It is observed that historical representations of Medusa tend to draw upon her dualistic, transformative nature of beauty-monster, threat-victim, and powerful-powerless, in accordance with dominant thoughts and ideologies. The contemporary Medusa tattoo is identified as being comprised of a tripartite structure with three carrier mediums: the tattooed body, tattoo designs, and TikTok videos found under the hashtag #medusatattoo, all capable of acting both independently and intermediary. This form is a result of a decades-long process of thought influenced by various appearing and re-appearing factors, conditions, and agents. The thesis further identifies the ways that the Medusa tattoo functions as myth in accordance with the writings of Roland Barthes, its meaning becoming fixed through acts of repetition on social media. Lastly, it is concluded that while tattoos can act in accordance with Hélène Cixous’ concept of écriture féminine, the contemporary Medusa tattoo cannot, due to its iconography demonstrating postfeminist attitudes towards beauty and femininity that enforce instead of challenge patriarchal structures. However, it is noted that it retains its potential as a symbol of strength and healing on the individual wearer. / Denna uppsats undersöker fenomenet av den samtida ‘Medusatatueringen’ som 2019 uppmärksammades på den sociala mediaplattformen TikTok som en symbol för överlevnad av sexuella övergrepp och vilken därefter har fungerat som ett verktyg för digital feministisk aktivism. Studien strävar efter att bidra med en ny, tidigare outforskad länk till den långa kedjan av akademisk forskning om Medusa vilket sker genom analyserandet av Medusatatueringens uppkomst, funktion och potential. Undersökningen använder sig av multimodal diskursanalys som följs av tillämpningen av ett utvalt antal teoretiska ramverk av Hans Belting, Michael Baxandall, Roland Barthes och Hélène Cixous. Det observeras att historiska representationer av Medusa tenderar att spegla hennes dualistiska, transformativa natur av skönhet-monster, hot-offer och kraftull-maktlös i enlighet med dominanta tankeföreställningar och ideologier. Den samtida Medusatatueringen omfattar en tredelad struktur med bärare som kan agera både självständigt och som mellanhänder: den tatuerade kroppen, tatueringsdesigner och TikTok-videor under hashtaggen #medusatattoo. Formen är ett result av en decennier lång tankeprocess som påverkats av ett flertal nya samt återkommande faktorer, villkor och agenter. Uppsatsen identifierar vidare hur Medusatatueringen fungerar som myt i enlighet med Roland Barthes, då dess innebörd fastställs och naturaliseras genom repetitiva handlingar på sociala medier. Slutligen dras slutsatsen att trots att tatueringar kan agera i enlighet med Hélène Cixous koncept écriture féminine så besitter inte den samtida Medusatatueringen samma förmåga då dess ikonografi reflekterar postfeministiska attityder till skönhet och femininitet vilka upprätthåller snarare än utmanar patriarkala strukturer. Det noteras dock att den bibehåller potentialen att agera styrkande och helande på individen.

Ressurgissant d’un passé mythique dans les textes de la fin du 19e siècle, la Gorgone Méduse et les figures de la pétrification qui gravitent autour d’elles cristallisent les angoisses et fantasmes d’une époque confrontée à une profonde crise des valeurs et des représentations. La séduction mortifère de ce féminin archaïque fascine d’autant plus l’imaginaire fin de siècle qu’on ne peut l’approcher sans risquer l’aveuglement. En même temps, ce féminin fantasmé constitue une invite à la transgression à laquelle il est difficile de renoncer puisqu’il n’existe d’objet idéal que mort. La pétrification qui sanctionne ce désir transgressif symbolise également l’idéal auquel aspire l’art car elle suspend le désir et le maintient dans sa perfection. Paradoxalement, cette mise en scène du désir permet aux écrivains fin de siècle de contester les valeurs dominantes de leur époque tout en légitimant l’ambiguïté de leur comportement vis à vis d’un féminin dont l’idéalisation exige le sacrifice. / Emerging from a mythical past into late 19th century texts, Gorgon Medusa and related figures of petrification embody the anguish and fantasies of a period characterised by an acute crisis in values and representations. The mortiferous seduction of these archaic feminine entities is all the more fascinating to late century imagination since anyone approaching them cannot but run the risk of becoming blind. At the same time, these imaginary female figures constitute an invite to transgression which is hard to renounce, since ideal objects can only be dead. The petrification that comes as a consequence of this transgressive desire also symbolises the ideals to which art aspires, for it suspends desire and keeps it perfect. Paradoxically, staging desire thus enables late 19th century writers to challenge the leading values of their times while vindicating the ambiguity of their own behaviour towards feminine figures whose idealisation is tantamount to sacrifice.

This thesis offers a theoretical investigation into concepts of beauty, the sculptured body and myths of Venus and Medusa, primarily through the works of Igor Mitoraj and Marc Quinn. These themes are transformed and inverted in the Looking-glass towards the trans-body, which is fragmented, sometimes monstrous, grotesque or ugly, but it is still complete. Resonating with Eros, it advocates a new trans-sexuality and establishes a concept of new desire , both of which question the legitimacy and limits of the concept of gender in relation to the body. This thesis proposes looking at the body beyond straightforward associations with a particular sex, incorporating approaches beyond art historical and art critical perspectives. Overall, the argument is informed by three particular concepts - paratopisms, paralogisms and parachronisms - drawn from the writings of Jean-François Lyotard. Jean Baudrillard s idea of the trans and swallowing the mirror provides another focus for the thesis. As such, this work is an attempt to go through to the other side of the mirror with respect to topos here, aesthetics and narratives; logos here, beauty and ugliness; and chronos in this research, the new desire. Through a detailed analysis of a number of case-studies I focus on the transformation of the trope of the classical into para-classical; the implosion of Venus into Medusa, beauty into ugliness, perfection into imperfection and ability into disability; and, finally, the metamorphosis of the sculptured body in the mirror. The figure of Venus is utilised in order to scrutinise the modifications and metamorphoses, both internal and external, of the body in relation to the fragment and the classical Greco-Roman ideal. The thesis aims to bring to the study of sculpture a deconstruction of the body through readings on gender, subjectivities and the gaze of the other. It focuses on the female body, represented by the figure of Venus, which is modified and appropriated according to patriarchal order, but also, as it relies on Hélène Cixous's Medusa laugh, it generates a new perspective in seeing the body as a hybrid; a metamorphosing construct, able to transform beyond and within corporeality. Viewing the body as an entity in a constant state of flux, shifting identities and gender, this study proposes this new concept - trans-body as a response to the current hyperreal simulated model of sexuality, and stimulates (and simulates) a change of focus in opticality towards illusions and trans-vesting myths.

La lectura de la poesía de Enrique Lihn implica establecer dimensiones que escapan al concepto de belleza clásica (representado por lo grecorromano tradicional). Por esto es necesario relacionar lo grotesco con la belleza que puede acompañar a tal noción, y los discursos que exploren las negatividades de un yo poético traspasado por una contradicción inherente e irrenunciable. El mito de la Medusa y su lectura en ciertas fuentes literarias, críticas y filosóficas permite una interpretación que se sirve de la muerte y de negatividades para mirar de frente a los demonios de Lihn. Demonios o fantasmas que reflejan una identidad fracturada en un contexto donde la reificación campea. Cuando ese gesto que busca vislumbrar a la Medusa se concreta a través de la imagen literaria surge un nuevo espacio ético que define a la escritura de Enrique Lihn. Esa misma exploración y el hecho de enfrentarla aparecen en Lihn como una voluntad inclaudicable mediante las constantes centrífugas o rupturistas de su poesía. La transformación del concepto de la belleza clásica busca separarse de propuestas estáticas, repetitivas y monológicas, reemplazándolas por lo centrífugo, lo dialógico mediante lo grotesco considerado sólo un indicio o un camino para lo meduseo (como actitud de exploración vital).

This thesis examines whether traditional air power theory complements counterinsurgency air power theory in kinetic counterinsurgency operations. The reason being that there is some discrepancy in the theories of how air power can be used in counterinsurgency. Winning a revolutionary war requires a graduated spectrum of violence; whereas, traditionally air power is characterized as only using the kinetic, hard power, end of that spectrum. The purpose is to test Robert Pape’s air power theory of military coercion by denial, motivated by the theory’s agreement with current research of air power in counterinsurgency. This thesis is a comparative case study examining two, similar and successful counterinsurgency operations, Operation Anaconda and Operation Medusa. Findings show that denial is quite prominent when direct support of ground forces occurs; whereas operational and strategic interdiction indicate low or no occurrence. This study strengthens the theory’s applicatory power in a counterinsurgency context, and suggests it can complement current research on counterinsurgency air power in kinetic usage. / <p><strong>Uppsatsen skriven VT 2017 under Termin 4 Officersprogrammet 15-18 med inriktning</strong><strong>mot flyg.
