    desmontando a un Analisis, de su tecnica, y de su obra Autor: Eduardo Aracil Campos Tutor: Francisco Javier Consuegra Panaligan Grado en Humanidades Curso académico 2018-2019 Desmontando a Banksy Eduardo Aracil Campos Título del trabajo: Desmontando a Banksy. Un análisis de su técnica y de su obra Firma del autor Firma del tutor académico Eduardo Aracil Campos Francisco Javier Consuegra Panaligan Trabajo de Fin de Grado Grado en Humanidades Facultad de Filosofía y Letras 2 Desmontando a Banksy Eduardo Aracil Campos Resumen La historia del arte urbano es la de la recuperación del espacio público de las ciudades por quienes realmente lo habitan, por aquellos que, en su vida rutinaria, en demasiadas ocasiones anodina, transitan por calles y barrios a menudo decadentes, desvencijados, abandonados… una suerte de figuras casi autómatas, fantasmales, que, sin embargo, al encontrarse con una obra de arte urbano salen de su aletargamiento y esbozan una sonrisa… o fruncen el ceño. En esta polaridad del arte urbano, en esa línea tan fina que separa vandalismo de arte, se mueve como pez en el agua Banksy, un artista que ha dado ese impulso definitivo que necesitaba el street art para presentarse ante la sociedad como un arte vanguardista, original, crítico y reflexivo, pero ante todo universal, accesible a todos los estratos sociales. Esa universalidad es la que representa Banksy y es el valor que el artista de Bristol da a su obra, una obra que, sin embargo, cada vez más frecuentemente es objeto de especulación por las galerías de arte y las casas de subasta. Podemos afirmar que Banksy es ya un fenómeno de masas del que se han escrito chorros de tinta y se han retuiteado miles de mensajes o compartido cientos de noticias.

  • King Salman Embraces 'Selfie' on Tour of Asia
    SUBSCRIPTION SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 2017 JAMADA ALTHANI 6, 1438 AH No: 17157 E-passport helps Banksy opens Torres counts Kuwait’s Schengen Walled Off Hotel days to return visa waiver2 bid in26 Bethlehem after48 head clash King Salman embraces ‘selfie’ on tour of Asia Min 10º 150 Fils Lighthearted pics, clips shared millions of times Max 25º JAKARTA: Saudi Arabia’s King Salman has embraced the “selfie”, tak- ing part in a number of lighthearted self-shot pictures and videos during his tour of Asia that contrast with the pomp and formality of most of the monarch’s trips abroad. In the first days of a lengthy regional tour, the king has appeared with top-ranking officials in Indonesia and Malaysia in pictures and clips that have been shared online millions of times. Indonesian President Joko Widodo shared on Facebook a video of himself dining with the king at the presidential palace in Bogor, near the capital Jakarta. In the video, both men comment on the vis- it, the first to Indonesia by a Saudi king in nearly five decades, and give viewers a rare peek into a state event. As Widodo holds what appears to be a phone camera, the king is seen dining before com- menting in Arabic on his 12-day visit to Indonesia, the longest leg of his month-long tour of Asia. “I’m very happy to be here in Indonesia and with the Indonesian people,” King Salman says to the camera, as an interpreter sitting behind him translates into Bahasa Indonesia. The king was also pho- tographed posing for a selfie with former president Megawati Sukarnoputri and her daughter Puan Maharani, who is a member of Widodo’s cabinet.

FEIJÓ PROFESSOR DOUTOR MIGUEL TAMEN Doutoramento em Estudos de Literatura e de Cultura Teoria da Literatura 2014 Acknowledgments The work for this thesis was done under a fellowship granted by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT): the time granted to think is priceless, and I am indeed thankful for being allowed to benefit from it. During this period I have also benefited from the resources put at my disposal by my host institution, the Nova Institute of Philosophy (IFILNOVA). Professor António Feijó has been teaching me since my first year of undergraduate studies and Professor Miguel Tamen since I started graduate studies: I am still to this day amazed at the luck I have for being given the opportunity to work with both of them, and my gratitude for their efforts and enthusiasm in crafting this thesis is immeasurable. As a student of the Program in Literary Theory I must extend my thanks to Professor João Figueiredo, who is an integral part of the Program and with whom I have learnt many valuable things about art. When writing a thesis, a friend who enjoys editing is a blessing one must always be thankful for; in any case, I would gladly dismiss Helena’s editing skills for the friendship which has shaped this work beyond recognition and, necessarily, beyond any written acknowledgment.

Through close visual analyses of photojournalist, press, and social documentary photographs, this Ph.D examines the visual responses to the Government’s advocation of a ‘healthy’ society and its programme of social and economic ‘waste-saving’. Drawing Imogen Tyler’s interpretation of ‘social abjection’ (the discursive mediation of subjects through exclusionary modes of ‘revolting aesthetics’) into the visual field, this Ph.D explores photography’s implication in bolstering the abject and exclusionary discourses of the era. Exploring the contexts in which photographs were created, utilised and disseminated to visually convey ‘waste’ as an expression of social abjection, this Ph.D exposes how the Right’s successful establishment of a neoliberal political economy was supported by an accelerated use and deployment of revolting photographic aesthetics.

Using the rather blunt thematic of the dichotomy between the authentic and the fake, part one of the paper examines some of the tensions that arose when hard-edged punk style was supplanted by the camp extravagances of New Romanticism.

  • Duchampianska” Praktiker Inom Samtidskonsten
    Konstvetenskapliga institutionen ”DUCHAMPIANSKA” PRAKTIKER INOM SAMTIDSKONSTEN Författare: Belma Kratović© Fördjupningskurs (C) i konstvetenskap Vårterminen 2020 Handledare: Lars Wängdahl Till AKA ABSTRACT Institution/Ämne Uppsala universitet. Konstvetenskapliga institutionen, Konstvetenskap Författare Belma Kratović Titel och undertitel: ”Duchampianska” praktiker inom samtidskonsten Engelsk titel: ‘Duchampian’ Practices in Contemporary Art Handledare Lars Wängdahl Ventileringstermin: Höstterm. (år) Vårterm. (år) Sommartermin (år) 2020 2020 This study investigates the extent to which subversive practices of conceptual art can be identified in contemporary works. It attempts to understand if, despite the widespread understanding of conceptual art as a mainstream in today's art scene, there may still be examples of contemporary practice that are as deviant and challenging to the notion of art today as those that came at the forefront of the conceptual art movement. The standard historical definition of 'conceptual art' generally refers to the artistic movement taking place between 1966 and 1972. The aim of this study, however, is to give an account of its development both prior to and beyond that narrow temporal window, seeking to identify both the roots and the legacy of the philosophical aspects of conceptual practice. The study traces these roots to the actions of Duchamp, who shifted the focus from aesthetics to a more cognitive valuation of art, by designating an everyday object as an artwork; an action that paved the way for the notion that, rather than being skilled craftsmen, artists are the authors of meaning, and artworks are the creation and transmission of ideas. This ‘Duchampian’ approach which pushes and explores the boundaries of art within the framework of the artwork themselves has also influenced the selection of works for analysis.
