To find more information about gender, mask and theater. GENDER AND women we have to go and have a look «specialized» literature as if women were MASKS, some strange beings. The points will be: At Teater Halland, in Sweden in June 2006, I started a Laboratory with international actresses and masks. This experience gave answers to my questions, because 1. The feminine character: PROJECT the mask allows the actors to express themselves freely, to reveal and unfold. -How it’s represented in the past, through different authors and plays. It allowed me finally to specify myR esearch* -How it should change or adapted to our modern times (reversed casting, After this experience, I realized the importance of meeting other women, different ways of representing women’s body and face, parts related to gender: a other men, other cultures, other point of views, to exchange : Berlin - Mitte character is masculine or feminine or just represents humanity?)

The five feminine archetypes are: To support this process, it is also our representations, our imagination and our symbolic constructions that must be addressed. This is why the theater and art in 1) THE PRIMITIVE WOMEN (only feeds her babies, but is devoured: the general, can help to create new myths, new imaginary spaces where it is possible Mother) to leave the hierarchical relationship between men and women, where it is possible to invent relationships among individuals with multiple identities, but the 2) THE GREEKS (half naked, half dressed, her Body is her expression and difference is systematically returned to a negative pole. weapon) Advancing in the project, it became increasingly clear that all forms of inequality, 3) THE WITCHES (dressed as men she tries to express herself, but gets burned domination between humans, adopt the same patterns of operation, be it racism, by society) machismo, of class relations, homophobia ...

CHRISTOPHE PATTY CO-DIRECTOR We first built a prototype of The Venus Museum in June 2010 with professional actors and amateurs in the city of Colombes. Then we worked on ”the obsessive body” with costume designer Sylvie Berthou in a Master Class with young Swedish and young French amateurs during the second European youth exchanges (Teater Halland, CSC Fossés-Jean and Europe- PEJA) we did in October 2010. In May 2011, the first living sculpture was unveiled to the audience at The International Festival of Public Benches, in Colombes. Then we progressed to the stage writing in Teater Halland in Sweden, during the Second European Exchange in October 2011. A second model of The Venus Museum was born in March 2012 with the creation of new living sculptures. The Venus Museum, is a research field born from our practical and direct work with people and communities, and the result of performing the plays we have created since 2006 in the frame of our Research *. The Venus Museum features five pictures scattered invested in space (a park, a mall, the lobby of a museum, an esplanade). Each picture highlights feminine archetypes, as living sculptures that we place at different times in history. A guide leads the audience through the journey and the great story is told by Androgyna.. Each sculpture is endorsed and set in motion by a professional actress. It is surrounded by an ensemble, a group consisting of amateur actors and amateur musicians or students.

  • Galatea's Daughters: Dolls, Female Identity and the Material Imagination
    Galatea‘s Daughters: Dolls, Female Identity and the Material Imagination in Victorian Literature and Culture Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Maria Eugenia Gonzalez-Posse, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: David G. Riede, Advisor Jill Galvan Clare A. Simmons Copyright by Maria Eugenia Gonzalez-Posse 2012 Abstract The doll, as we conceive of it today, is the product of a Victorian cultural phenomenon. It was not until the middle of the nineteenth century that a dedicated doll industry was developed and that dolls began to find their way into children‘s literature, the rhetoric of femininity, periodical publications and canonical texts. Surprisingly, the Victorian fascination with the doll has largely gone unexamined and critics and readers have tended to dismiss dolls as mere agents of female acculturation. Guided by the recent material turn in Victorian studies and drawing extensively from texts only recently made available through digitization projects and periodical databases, my dissertation seeks to provide a richer account of the way this most fraught and symbolic of objects figured in the lives and imaginations of the Victorians. By studying the treatment of dolls in canonical literature alongside hitherto neglected texts and genres and framing these readings in their larger cultural contexts, the doll emerges not as a symbol of female passivity but as an object celebrated for its remarkable imaginative potential. The doll, I argue, is therefore best understood as a descendant of Galatea – as a woman turned object, but also as an object that Victorians constantly and variously brought to life through the imagination.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institutional Research Information System University of Turin Vol. 1 No. 3 Language and Semiotic Studies Autumn 2015 Deadly Simulacra Massimo Leone University of Turin, Italy Abstract Taking the lead from a tale by French writer Prosper Mérimée, narrating the terrifying story of a statue of Venus that suddenly—and tragically—becomes alive, the paper will dwell on the several versions of this narrative topos (William of Malmesbury in the 12th Century, Gautier de Coincy in the 13th, Hermann Kroner in the 15th, up to Richard Burton in the 17th, Joseph von Eichendorff in the 19th, Gabriele D’Annunzio in the 20th) in order to semiotically reflect on two streams of the human imaginary: on the one hand, the statue that becomes alive; on the other hand, the human being that becomes a statue. Following such historical, anthropological, and semiotic excursus, the paper will conclude with an in-depth analysis of a very common present-day urban performance: living statues. Also with reference to contemporary British novel Observatory Mansions, by Edward Carey, the paper will seek to answer the following questions: why is the spectacle of the human body that becomes like stone so fascinating? Why are spectators attracted by immobility and yet offer their coins in order to see it turn into movement and life again? Keywords: simulacra, living statues, immobility, death, cultural semiotics Quid (h)ebetes morimur? Qui profuit lucem uidisse? Si nihil inquiras, hoc est beluarum adesse. (Commodiano, Carmen apologeticum, 33-34) Simulacra that perfectly imitate the human body are often perceived as bearing a connotation of deadly power.

However, in reality, the living statue first 5 appeared in the 19th century as a circus performance. In the early 20th century, living statues became more famous thanks to ‘tableaux vivants’. These consisted of a group of 10 actors who would pose and be lit in a particular way so as to appear like paintings. Since that time, living statues have appeared in films. “The Phantom of the 15 Opera” and “Hot Fuzz” are two films that have shown living statues on screen. Moving from the inside to the outside, street performances have increased in the following years too. Various living statues 20 appeared in places all over Europe such as Covent Garden in London, La Rambla in Barcelona and lately also in Republic Street in Valletta. As it turns out, being a living statue is not that easy. A living statue will do “solitude” sessions of 30 minutes to an hour followed by a quick five- 25 minute break and then repeat. This can go on for several hours. It is tiring on the body and a wibble or a wobble can ruin their performance. Some living statues can go for an hour without blinking and they also make sure that people do not see them breathe.

  • Alberto Savinio: a Bridge Between Metaphysical Painting and Mexican Modern Art
    ITALIAN MODERN ART | ISSUE 2: ISSN 2640-8511 A Bridge Between Metaphysical Painting and Mexican Modern Art ALBERTO SAVINIO: A BRIDGE BETWEEN METAPHYSICAL PAINTING AND MEXICAN MODERN ART italianmodernart.org/journal/articles/alberto-savinio-a-bridge-between-metaphysical-painting-and- mexican-modern-art 0 Carlos Segoviano Alberto Savinio, Issue 2, July 2019 -------------https://www.italianmodernart.org/journal/issues/alberto-savinio/ Abstract In 1993, alongside the first exhibition in Mexico of works by Giorgio de Chirico, a parallel exhibition entitled “Metaphysics Iconography in Mexico” explored the connections between Metaphysical Painting and Mexican modern art. Omitted from this survey was the significant relationship between Alberto Savinio and the Mexican artist Marius de Zaya: both of these artists were not only considered part of Apollinaire’s creative circle but also collaborated together on projects for international magazines such as 291. This presentation investigates the reception of Alberto Savinio’s painting and art criticism in Mexico, as well as, more specifically, his connection with the artists de Zayas, Siqueiros and Antonio Ruiz “El Corcito.” It may seem strange to write an essay that relates Andrea de Chirico, better known as Alberto Savinio, to Mexican art, given that the Greek-born Italian artist never visited “the land of the Aztecs.” There is likewise an absence of information concerning any friendships he may have maintained with promiment Mexican painters who were his contemporaries. I have identified only five translated

  • Living Statues
    Kari Jormakka Living statues Bewegung liegt allem Wercl'en zugrunde. ... Auch im Weltall ist Bewegung das Gegebene. Paul Klee' On March 15, 1912, Umberto Boccioni wrote a letter from London to his friend Vico Baer, announcing: »I am obsessed these days by sculpture! I think I can per­ ceive a complete renewal of this mummified art.,,2 At this time avant-garde painting had definitely outsped the other arts, with sculpture and architeoture lagging furth­ est behind. In Boccioni's mind, it defied explanation »how generations of sculptors can continue to construct dummies without asking themselves why all the exhibi­ tion halls of sculpture have become reservoirs of boredom and nausea, or why in­ augurations of public monuments, a rendezvous of uncontrollable hilarity.«3 The general aim of the futurist movement was to synchronise the arts with the development of modern society and technology. Hence, in the first futurist manife­ sto, published in the Parisian Le Figaro on February 20, 1909, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti renounced any fixation on the past, despite hirnself being burdened with history because of his Italian education and his birthplace of Alexandria in Egypt. He declared: »In truth I tell you that the daily round of museums, Iibraries, and academies (cemeteries of vain efforts, calvaries of crucified dreams, registries of aborted beginnings!) is as damaging for artists as the prolonged guardianship of pa­ rents is for certain young people drunk with their talent and ambitious desire.... We want no part in it, we are young and strong Futurists!" Instead of following the outdated model of c1assical art, Marinetti declared that a roaring race car is more beautiful than the Nike of Samothrace.

  • Myths of Modern Individualim
    Canto is an imprint offering a range of tides, classic and more recent, across a broad spectrum of subject areas and interests. History, literature, biography, archaeology, politics, religion, psychology, philosophy and science are all represented in Canto's specially selected list of tides, which now offers some of the best and most accessible of Cambridge publishing to a wider readership. In their original versions, the ultimate fates of Faust, Don Quixote, and Don Juan reflect the anti-individualism of their time: Faust and Don Juan are punished in hellfire, and Don Quixote is mocked. The three represent the positive drive of individualism, which brings down on itself repression by social disapproval. A century later Defoe's Robinson Crusoe embodies a more favorable consideration of the individual, but only if one refuses to take seriously Defoe's state- ment that Crusoe's isolation is punishment for disobeying his father. In this volume Ian Watt examines these four myths of the mod- ern world, all created in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, as distinctive products of a historically new society. He shows how the original versions of Faust (1587), Don Quixote (1605), and Don Juan (ca. 1620) presented unflattering portrayals of the three, whereas the Romantic period two centuries later re-created them as admirable and even heroic. Robinson Crusoe (1719) is seen as repre- sentative of the new religious, economic, and social attitudes. All four myths have been transformed, often by major writers (Rousseau, Goethe, Byron, Dostoevsky), and given a more universal application with a favorable view of individualism. The punitive tales were turned into popular secular myths.
