Helen McDonald shows how, over 6 the past thirty years, artists have employed the idea of ambiguity to dismantle 7 the exclusive, classical ideal enshrined in the figure of the nude, and how they 8 have broadened the scope of the ideal to include differences of race, ethnicity, 9 sexuality and disability as well as gender. 20111 McDonald discusses the work of a wide range of women artists, including 1 Barbara Kruger, Judy Chicago, Mary Duffy, Zoe Leonard, Tracey Moffatt, Pat 2 Brassington and Sally Smart. She traces the shift in feminist art practices from 3 the early challenge to patriarchal representations of the female nude to contem- 4 porary, ‘postfeminist’ practices, influenced by theories of performativity, queer 5 theory and postcoloniality.

  • Writing the Naked Body: Sex and Nudity in Nuala Ní Chonchuír's Nude
    Estudios Irlandeses, Number 11, 2016, pp. 1-11 __________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI Writing the Naked Body: Sex and Nudity in Nuala Ní Chonchuír’s Nude Máximo Aláez Corral University of Oviedo, Spain Copyright (c) 2016 by Máximo Aláez Corral. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. This essay looks into the deconstruction of the male gaze and the objectification process around the concepts of nudity and nakedness. Starting from the review of some of Martha Nussbaum’s, John Berger’s, or Laura Mulvey’s main ideas on the topic of the gaze and objectification, a practical analysis of some of the short stories contained in Nuala Ní Chonchúir’s Nude (2009) is provided. By so doing, I intend to examine the ways in which conventional objectification phenomena can be turned upside down, challenged or parodied in order to reveal cultural discriminatory undercurrents and offer a new non-objectifying visual and written representation of the naked body. Key Words. Ní Chonchúir, Objectification, Male Gaze, Nude, Naked Body, Feminism. Resumen. Este ensayo analiza la deconstrucción de la mirada masculina y el proceso de reificación en torno al concepto de desnudez en toda su extensión. Tras plantear un breve repaso de algunas de las ideas planteadas por Martha Nussbaum, John Berger o Laura Mulvey acerca tanto de la mirada como de la reificación del cuerpo, realizo un análisis práctico de algunos de los relatos contenidos en Nude (2009), de la autora irlandesa Nuala Ní Chonchúir.

  • The Nude Figure in Renaissance Art Thomas Martin
    19 The Nude Figure in Renaissance Art Thomas Martin The establishment of the nude as an independent and vital subject in post-antique western art occurred during the Renaissance and is, along with the use of perspective, one of the most important markers differentiating Renaissance art from medieval art. One factor driving these innovations was the desire to portray a world that conforms to visual reality, where objects decrease in size as they move away from the picture plane, and where human anatomy is rigorously understood. Just as Renaissance artists employed perspective to portray naturalistic spaces, so they also populated those spaces with proportional, anatomically accurate figures and, during the course of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the occasions when those figures were depicted nude occurred more and more frequently. Naturalism, however, was but one motive for the increased use of the nude, and by the first half of the 1500s, the naked body had achieved a wider and more varied presence in art than had been the case in the Middle Ages or even in antiquity where, with few exceptions, its use was confined to male athletes, heroes, and divinities. This essay will focus on two issues: where is the nude used – i.e., what are its locations – and what are the meanings of its uses? As it is today, the body in the Renaissance was multivalent. European Christian society believed that as a cause of lust and sin, the body was fearful and needed to be covered up. Yet at the same time it was the form the Savior, Jesus Christ, took during his lifetime, and the Catholic Church taught that it is in our very own earthly bodies that, after the last trumpet, we will spend eternity either in bliss in Heaven or in despair in Hell.

  • A Reflection on the Use of Nude Models in the Art Department Curriculum at Augustana College: Theological and Academic Underpinnings
    A Reflection on the Use of Nude Models in the Art Department Curriculum at Augustana College: Theological and Academic Underpinnings Inspired by Lutheran scholarly tradition and the liberal arts, Augustana provides an education of enduring worth that challenges the intellect, fosters integrity and integrates faith with learning and service in a diverse world. The College is committed to the education and enrichment of the whole person including exposure to enduring forms of aesthetic and creative expression. In the great tradition of the humane sciences in western civilization, we take it as axiomatic that knowledge of drawing the human form is fundamental to the serious study of art and the training of professional artists in a liberal arts education. For the last seven decades, our Art Department has established a long and distinguished tradition in liturgical and figurative art studies, including the installation of liturgical works of art by professors emeriti Palmer Eide and Robert Aldern in churches throughout the upper Midwest and the establishment of the permanent home for the Hovland Center for Liturgical Arts in Augustana’s new Center of Visual Arts, which was dedicated in 2006. As a church-affiliated college, we take seriously the religious and spiritual dimensions involved in the process of self-discovery, expression and creating lasting works of art. We seek to educate our students in the life-long appreciation of all forms of art and to develop within each individual an understanding of her own code of values and ethics as she seeks to live her life both fully and imaginatively. A Lutheran understanding of grace suggests that God is revealed in the unexpected and overlooked, that through vulnerability and generosity we come closer to knowing what we can not see, and that balance and beauty are necessary to knowing a manifest, creative, living, loving, and compassionate God.

Today the term is used to describe any form of representation of the naked human being, and not least those very first nude depictions in early cultures, typical examples being the Venus figurines, which were mostly highly stylized statuettes – in stone, bone, ivory or clay – of naked, obese women with – in spite of their closed posture – extremely exaggerated and detailed sexual attributes. These figurines were undoubtedly fertility symbols. One outstanding and famous example is the so-called Venus of Willendorf. Nude depiction reached one of its first zeniths in Greek and Roman antiquity.

  • A Brief History of Nakedness
    Published on Reviews in History (https://reviews.history.ac.uk) A Brief History of Nakedness Review Number: 948 Publish date: Wednesday, 1 September, 2010 Author: Philip Carr-Gomm ISBN: 9781861896476 Date of Publication: 2010 Price: £19.95 Pages: 286pp. Publisher: Reaktion Books Place of Publication: London Reviewer: Joseph Melling The history of nakedness deserves a serious history. For organised nudism or ‘naturism’ was a conscious movement initiated by Europeans at the end of the 19th century that has exerted a significant influence over society and politics in the wider world. This book is not that serious academic history. In one respect its aim is much more ambitious. For its author is a psychologist, psychotherapist and popular writer, guided by a strong commitment to libertarian values. In the manner of a Jungian auteur, he undertakes a polymath survey of attitudes to the naked body across thousands of years. Carr-Gomm retains an abiding interest in the magical, mystical and religious values that absorb the first third of his book as he takes us on a colourful caravan across the centuries of Asiatic and European history. These bright threads of experience show how the hippie culture of the 1960s followed well-established pathways of European spiritualism and ancient meditation in which various forms of nakedness featured as initiations into deeper truths. For Judaeo- Christian as well as Hindu mystics have used the naked body to bear witness to the virtues of poverty and chastity in their journey to virtue, whether Francis of Assisi barefoot in the snow or naked Quakers ranting in London streets during the English Revolution and Russian doukhobours marching across Canada in nude family groups to defend their faith.

  • 7.8.19 - Religion and Nudism…Are They Compatible?
    7.8.19 - Religion and Nudism…Are They Compatible? This is a question we received recently that needs a rather lengthy explanation. We will spend some time initially defining words so that we can give an answer that will not be misunderstood. Nudism: the practice of going nude, often as a group lifestyle and typically in a private setting, as in a person's home or a designated area of a beach or park. Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fifth Edition Copyright © 2014 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company - This word carries a negative connotation, but I was unable with a short search to find one with that connotation. An author I read recently chose not to use that word because the word nudism implied exhibitionism so he used the word nakedness in its place. We prefer the word naturism, but the important part is what we are discussing. For the sake of this article we will be using all three words to mean family friendly non sexual nakedness where allowed. Religion: the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. More a particular system of faith and worship. The first part of this definition is what the person probably had in mind, but the last part could include Evolution and Humanism. We even need to be careful that we do not turn naturism into a religion. None of this definition would rule out naturism, so yes…you can be religious and a nudist. I am guessing that the person with the question would consider Christianity and religion synonyms.
