March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Recent studies regarding the motif of the nude female figure on Athenian red-figure vases of the 5th century BCE have caused much controversy among contemporary scholars. Whereas the nude male figure on Athenian vases is generally perceived by scholars as representative of heroic, ritualistic or civic nudity, the female form’s nude state remains ambiguous in comparison. In an attempt to uncover the cultural significance behind the appearance of the nude female figure on Athenian vases, multiple scholars have suggested that her utterly exposed state must surely have been indicative of a ‘disreputable’ status, especially that of the hetaira. However, this interpretation is problematic as it ultimately restricts the possible function(s) of the nude female figure to being primarily erotic in nature.

  • The Meanings of Nudity in Medieval Art: an Introduction1
    The Meanings of Nudity in Medieval Art: An Introduction1 Sherry C.M. Lindquist Johann Joachim Winckelmann and other early founders of the modern discipline of art history hailed the idealized nude—developed in ancient Greece, adopted by the Romans, and subject to imitation and revival ever since—as a superior, “classical,” distinctively Western approach to representing the human body.2 Such presumptions about the classical nude inform the traditional art historical canon, coloring judgments about other traditions and societies, and distorting our view even of certain eras of Western art history, particularly the Middle Ages.3 In spite of some exceptional studies to be discussed below, the tradition of representing the unclothed body in the Middle Ages, when it is acknowledged at all, has been most often reduced to what is considered a typical medieval Christian ascetic rejection of the body.4 This simplification is frankly astonishing when one considers the complex, multivalent and inventive iconographic contexts in which full or partial nakedness appears in medieval art: biblical stories featuring Adam and Eve, Susannah and the Elders, David and Bathsheba, the rape of the Levite’s wife, the nakedness of Noah, and the Baptism of Christ, among others; the transcendent suffering body in representations of the lives of the saints and Christ; additional narratives that feature holy figures like Martin and Francis divesting themselves of clothes; the lactating Virgin; baptism scenes; birth scenes; bath scenes; medical miniatures; Sheela-na-gigs; illuminations in legal manuscripts addressing cases of impotence, rape, and adultery; Pygmalion’s statue; Venus and other “pagan idols;” demons; hybrid creatures; anthropomorphized sexual organs worn as badges; souls; the dead; the monstrous races; lovers in romances; personifications of Luxuria, and more.

  • 205 Arguments and Observations in Support of Naturism
    205 Arguments and Observations In Support of Naturism Extensively documented with quotes, references, supporting research, and resources for further study Compiled by K. Bacher Preface THE UNITED STATES LAGS FAR BEHIND most of the rest of Western Civilization in its negative attitude toward the human body. While most of Europe is comfortable with the concept of nude recreation on beaches and in vacation resorts, here in the U.S., conservative political action groups seek to criminalize even the most innocent exposure of the human body. Often these groups gain support by purporting to defend "family values" or "Christian morality." Although these groups are growing in political power, they represent only a small portion of the American population. And participation in nude recreation is also growing. More and more Americans are discovering the pleasures of skinny-dipping with their families in the local reservoir, or sunbathing in the buff at the local beach. Membership in nudist organizations is growing by leaps and bounds. More than ever, Naturists need powerful arguments to defend their chosen lifestyle against those who cannot see beyond their own misconceptions and preconceived notions. We need evidence and testimony to encourage others to give Naturism a try. For several years, I found myself making claims like these: "Actually, Mom, taking the kids to a nudist park is good for them." "The ideals of Naturism are consistent with the goals of women's rights." "A lot of famous people don't think skinnydipping's such a bad thing." "There's nothing in the Bible that says it's wrong to go nude." "Naturism has some real psychological benefits." "Not everyone in the world thinks nudity is so bad, you know." I knew that these statements were true, but when pressed, I could not back them up with concrete references.

  • Nakedness and Publicity
    A3_CANDEUB (DO NOT DELETE) 5/10/2019 2:45 PM Nakedness and Publicity Adam Candeub* ABSTRACT: Smartphones and similar technologies have allowed individuals to take pictures of naked medical patients, showering athletes, and sexual partners and place those pictures, without their subjects’ permission, on the Internet. Illicit distribution of former partners’ photographs, known as “revenge porn,” has received the most attention. Many states have criminalized the practice, but their laws likely violate the First Amendment. Because these laws typically cannot be used against websites or other distributers, these laws cannot stop compromising images’ online proliferation. This Article is the first to argue that publicity rights provide a better remedy. These rights typically attach to celebrity features, such as Greta Garbo’s face, which have market value, and therefore have been overlooked as a remedy for revenge porn. But, the profusion of Internet porn sites demonstrates there are interested eyeballs for almost anyone’s naked body. Because these eyeballs can be leveraged into Internet advertising and promotional revenue, they create a financial interest that the right of publicity can protect. In contrast to criminal sanctions, publicity rights offer an efficient private remedy for revenge porn as well as unconsented to naked photographs from the locker room or hospital. Unlike other forms of liability, publicity rights fall outside the Communications Decency Act’s immunity and thus can be used against websites and subsequent image distribution. I.

    FEMALE PUBLIC NUDITY IN BELLE ÉPOQUE PARIS By LELA LOVETT FELTER-KERLEY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2006 Copyright 2006 by Lela Lovett Felter-Kerley This life-long dream would not have been possible without the vision and encouragement of my parents and the numerous sacrifices of my husband John and daughter Adyla. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Let me begin by saying that nothing could be more foreign, more out-of-character, for me than to write a dissertation on nudity. Raised in a puritanical, middle-class military household during the conservative years of the Reagan administration (lest we forget Edwin Meese?), the closest I came to naked bodies was seeing my baby sister race around the house after having her nightly baths. For years I have thought very little of those first visions and memories of my childhood until now. However the context for my thinking about nudity some twenty odd years later is radically different. Through a series of chance happenings and unforeseen events, I am now confronting my innermost feelings, frustrations, and fascinations with the naked body. It has been as much a taboo for me to think, speak, and write about as it has been for many of closest friends and family members to hear. The University of Florida, its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and its Department of History granted me the academic freedom and financial wherewithal to explore this subject. The Council for European Studies’ generous pre-dissertation fellowship afforded me the opportunity to conduct preliminary research abroad.

  • Nakedness and Other Peoples: the Italian Renaissance Nude
    Nakedness and Other Peoples: Rethinking the Italian Renaissance Nude Jill Burke We discovered innumerable lands, we saw innumerable people and different languages, and all were naked.1 (Amerigo Vespucci, letter to Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de’ Medici, 1500) This essay proposes that we question the current understanding of the Italian Renaissance nude by examining contemporaries’ perceptions of nakedness. Despite the importance of the nude for the development of Western art, there have been few studies that consider how the revival of the nude form in fi fteenth-century Italy was understood by people at the time.2 Most scholars, understandably, see the new fashion for portraying naked fi gures in the fi fteenth century as a direct refl ection of the enthusiasm for classical antiquity during this era. Without denying the crucial importance of antique precedents, I wish here to investigate another possibility: that travellers’ accounts of naked natives encountered on European voyages of exploration, particularly those to sub-Saharan Africa, infl uenced the creation of what has been called a ‘Renaissance anthropology’ – debates about the nature of mankind.3 This provided a new conceptual fi lter through which the nude fi gure was seen – and in some cases, these accounts may have directly affected the iconography of otherwise puzzling images. The article has four main inter-related areas of focus: 1. the increased nakedness of depictions of Adam and Eve from the early fi fteenth century, placed in the context of Renaissance understandings of the development of early mankind – and an emphasis on nakedness as a symbol of human potential; 2.

STAND PERFECTLY STILL: STATUES, NUDITY, AND THE PYGMALION MYTH IN VICTORIAN THEATRE AND CULTURE A Thesis Presented for the Master of Arts Degree in English The University of Mississippi MAGGIE WALLEN December 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Maggie Wallen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Stephen Guy-Bray argues that though the story of Pygmalion has taken various forms in the nineteenth century, “it is often read as a story of artistic and sexual triumph” (447). But a sexual triumph for whom? My thesis addresses questions pertaining to how the nude female body is viewed on the theatrical stage by focusing specifically on the myth of Pygmalion as presented in W. S. Gilbert’s Pygmalion and Galatea and George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion. I argue that the image of the moving statue, especially in the melodramatic tradition of the pose plastique and tableau vivant, creates instability for the viewer by evoking notions of human mortality that the stone human body embodies.
