Arte e resistência: Vincent Willem Van Gogh

Esta tese apresenta uma proposta interdisciplinar para abordar o objeto artístico, almejando demonstrar como a Psicologia pode enfocar a leitura e a interpretação das produções artísticas visuais. Foram aplicados métodos psicológicos considerados eficazes para entender o fenômeno artístico e, assim, interpretar o trabalho do artista. O instrumental teórico foi o da apreensão fenomenológica e o conhecimento psicanalítoco. Trinta e nove telas de Van Gogh (produzidas em Arles, 1888; no asilo de Saint Rémy, Provence, 1889; e em Auvers Sur Oise, 1890) foram selecionadas para análise. Foram Observados os aspectos da visualidade da obra, segundo a ótica fenomenológica, e as imagens foram investigadas em sua disposição em um espaço simbólico do espaço pessoal do artista, dos elementos configurados que compõem a foma, da iluminação e cor empregadas no trabalho e da dinâmica e expressão dos conteúdos manifestos. A tese constitui-se de quatro capítulos. O primeiro apresenta a história do artista; o segundo, a teoria para abordar a percepção fenomenológica, definindo elementos utilizados para interpretar o objeto artístico; o terceiro analisa as imagens produzidas por Van Gogh no período estudado; o quarto diagnostica, analisa e interpreta a expressão das imagens. Foi também analisada a temática explorada pelo artista, de acordo com sua manifestação simbólica. A trajetória deste trabalho assemelhase ao psicodiagnóstico, que levanta hipóteses e verifica se elas são verdadeiras ou falsas. Assim foi levantada a hipótese de que a arte atuava na existência do artista como um procedimento terapêutico e mantenedor do seu equilibrio. A maior êncase da literatura recai na loucura de Van Gogh como propulsora de sua obra, visão oposta à desta tese... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

As políticas de formação do arte educador no século XXI: o caso da UNESP no Estado de São Paulo

This paper deals with the training of art educators, focusing on the courses offered at public universities in the state of São Paulo, where, specifically the pedagogical approach of training curricula of grades offered at UNESP, campus of São Paulo and Bauru. In the current situation have been proposed, from training in undergraduate courses, new tasks and responsibilities to work teaching the teacher in order to develop this educational increasingly effective so as to ensure efficient productivity autonomous learner in the process cognitive development in basic education, the teacher being assigned the task of stimulating that process and manage situations of educational work as a way of systematizing knowledge. The research consisted of questioning whether that teacher training allowed contact with the educational resources necessary for teaching, under current conditions assigned by the neoliberal conjuncture educational work of art educator with a view to the formation of aesthetic sensibility of the students from the class working, privileged pupils of public schools, to contribute to establishing the apprehension about the pedagogical training of art educators to confront the reality school, considering the specificity of action of these teachers. Therefore we conducted a desk study of existing legislation and the National Curriculum Guidelines that guide teacher training, correlating them to Pedagogical Policy Projects and curricula of undergraduate courses in Arts Education and / or Visual Arts courses UNESP. The work of desk research, quantitative and analytical, refers strictly pedagogical part, amid restructuring curriculum established by the undergraduate courses in the periods 2003 to 2011, with the promulgation of the CNE/ CP nº. 9 / 2001 and the Resolution CNE/CP n.º 1/2002 and n.º 2/2002...

Fragmento d'alma

Fragmento D' Alma is an artistic research that part of a poetic tale through an initial charge of dawn one fantastic universe where words have life and willingly. The work includes sculptural works in order to interpret through the use of allegory situations of the tale in the form of sculptural compositions considering one or more characters in the story. In the sculptural work, I tried figuring the relations tale as my interpretations and poetic, so I sought theoretical studies of allegory after noting my affinity with the theme to contribute to the relationship text and image set in my work. I also sought to understand the relationships that the text played with sculptural work, so the chances that I could address this through dialogue between text and image. The studies collected through surveys pointed allegory by João Adolfo Hansen, as well as in various artistic and visual references present in my repertoire, such as the Baroque sculpture of Bernini, the performances of Berna Reale and literature of Neil Gaiman, contributed in this research to the development of my creative process during the preparation of this research work of art, making the complexity of the relationship between textual production and poetic sculptural three-dimensional, also became a concern and an integral theme of my work and my reflections presented here. Therefore, I conclude based on my own experience in this work, the artistic research inspired allegory might contribute to the development of my creative process during the preparation of this artwork, besides assigning relations between textual production and poetic dimensional sculpture

Nas trilhas do real: mais além da psicologia do espectador

This essay to discusses the relationship between psychoanalysis and aesthetic thinking, through the prism of Lacan’s theory on visuality, as perceived by the critic and art historian Hal Foster. In my opinion, this intersection would allow us to enlighten new ways of reading the work of art towards a paradigm of a non-applied psychoanalysis. Therefore, this paper intends to tackle aspects which concern the Lacanian concept of real in order to question some problems that concern the contemporary work of art.

A potência do cyborg no agenciamento de modos de subjetivação pós-identitários: conexões parciais entre arte, psicologia e gênero

In line with a psychology more attached to the becoming [devenir] rather than tothe essence, the goal of this paper is to ground the importance of understandingsubjectivity as a process, mainly when regarding our current discussions aboutidentity and gender. After that, we do some linkage between art and psychology. Forus, art is understood as a powerfulmanner to encourage modes of subjectivation thathave difference as an inherited relation. Lastly, we draw our attention upon somefragments of the contemporaneous artist, Mathew Barney's work-of-art (specially,Cremaster), to see how it runs through the binaries of gender boundaries andlaunches post-identity lines of subjectivation.

Fragmentos roubados: o retrato da incompletude

The portrait, as well as the self-portrait, in his pictorial tradition built a type of own speech. The contemporary technologies offered other ways of representation that break with the tradition, at the same time in which they talk to her. How we may read a contemporary portrait? It is the question that looks for these paper from the work of art “50 Hours: Self-portrait Stolen” of the photographer Rocheli Costi. The inter – relations between others texts are, in the aesthetic texts, the mark of the contemporaneousness producing a format of hypertext, which the reading depends on the connections that the reader is going to draw.

Mona Lisa: sentidos múltiplos de um sorriso enigmático

This article reviews the history of the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, the Mona Lisa or Gioconda, sixteenth century, aiming to discuss about some of the multiple senses (or discourses) around its meaning, with the support of the French branch of the Discourse Analysis, especially based on concepts developed by D. Maingueneau. As it is characteristic of the work of art, the senses are open, which does not exclude the possibility of detachment, among which we accentuated the "Mona Lisa smile" as one of the main traits of the authorship by Leonardo Da Vinci and, simultaneously, a trait propitious to aphorisation. Thus, the work of art is releasing of the exclusive authorship of Da Vinci and it suscitates several rereadings, which help composing a discursive ethos around this consecrated painting and, at the same time, which make circulating distinct stereotypes.

Ricezione e Finzione. Una teoria della lettura tra struttura e risposta estetica

Attraverso l’analisi di teorie della lettura “centripete” e “centrifughe”, tra fenomenologia, semiotica e teoria della risposta estetica, questa ricerca punta a definire la lettura come un’esperienza estetica di una variabile e plurale letterarietà, o per essere più precisi, come una relazione estetica ad una funzione nel linguaggio, che di volta in volta diviene immanente e trascendente rispetto al linguaggio, immanente nella percepibilità espressiva del segno e trascendente nella sua ristretta finzionalità o fittività, aperta alla dimensione del senso. Così, la letterarietà è vista, dal punto di vista di una teoria della lettura, come una funzione che nega o sovverte il linguaggio ordinario, inteso come contesto normale, ma anche una funzione che permette il supplemento di senso del linguaggio. Ciò rende la definizione di cosa sia letteratura e di quali testi siano considerabili come letterari come una definizione dipendente dalla lettura, ed anche mette in questione la classica dicotomia tra linguaggio standard e linguaggio deviante, di secondo grado e figurativo, comportamento che distinguerebbe la letteratura. Questi quattro saggi vorrebbero dimostrare che la lettura, come una pratica estetica, è l’espressione di una oscillazione tra una Finzione variabile nei suoi effetti ed una Ricezione, la quale è una risposta estetica controllata dal testo, ma anche una relazione estetica all’artefatto a natura verbale. Solo in questo modo può essere compresa la caratteristica paradossale della lettura, il suo stare tra una percezione passiva ed un’attiva esecuzione, tra un’attenzione aspettuale ed una comprensione intenzionale. Queste modalità si riflettono anche sulla natura dialettica della lettura, come una dialettica di apertura e chiusura, ma anche di libertà e fedeltà, risposta ad uno stimolo che può essere interpretato come una domanda, e che presenta la lettura stessa come una premessa dell’interpretazione, come momento estetico. Così una teoria della lettura dipende necessariamente da una teoria dell’arte che si presenta come funzionale, relativa più al Quando vi è arte?/Come funziona? piuttosto che al Che cosa è Arte?, che rende questo secondo problema legato al primo. Inoltre, questo Quando dell’Arte, che definisce l’opera d’arte come un’arte- all’-opera, dipende a sua volta, in un campo letterario, dalla domanda Quando vi è esperienza estetica letteraria? e dalla sue condizioni, quelle di finzione e ricezione.

Max Bill in Italia . Lo spazio logico dell'architettura

I Max Bill is an intense giornata of a big fresco. An analysis of the main social, artistic and cultural events throughout the twentieth century is needed in order to trace his career through his masterpieces and architectures. Some of the faces of this hypothetical mural painting are, among others, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Ernesto Nathan Rogers, Kandinskij, Klee, Mondrian, Vatongerloo, Ignazio Silone, while the backcloth is given by artistic avant-gardes, Bauhaus, International Exhibitions, CIAM, war events, reconstruction, Milan Triennali, Venice Biennali, the School of Ulm. Architect, even though more known as painter, sculptor, designer and graphic artist, Max Bill attends the Bauhaus as a student in the years 1927-1929, and from this experience derives the main features of a rational, objective, constructive and non figurative art. His research is devoted to give his art a scientific methodology: each work proceeds from the analysis of a problem to the logical and always verifiable solution of the same problem. By means of composition elements (such as rhythm, seriality, theme and its variation, harmony and dissonance), he faces, with consistent results, themes apparently very distant from each other as the project for the H.f.G. or the design for a font. Mathematics are a constant reference frame as field of certainties, order, objectivity: ‘for Bill mathematics are never confined to a simple function: they represent a climate of spiritual certainties, and also the theme of non attempted in its purest state, objectivity of the sign and of the geometrical place, and at the same time restlessness of the infinity: Limited and Unlimited ’. In almost sixty years of activity, experiencing all artistic fields, Max Bill works, projects, designs, holds conferences and exhibitions in Europe, Asia and Americas, confronting himself with the most influencing personalities of the twentieth century. In such a vast scenery, the need to limit the investigation field combined with the necessity to address and analyse the unpublished and original aspect of Bill’s relations with Italy. The original contribution of the present research regards this particular ‘geographic delimitation’; in particular, beyond the deep cultural exchanges between Bill and a series of Milanese architects, most of all with Rogers, two main projects have been addressed: the realtà nuova at Milan Triennale in 1947, and the Contemporary Art Museum in Florence in 1980. It is important to note that these projects have not been previously investigated, and the former never appears in the sources either. These works, together with the most well-known ones, such as the projects for the VI and IX Triennale, and the Swiss pavilion for the Biennale, add important details to the reference frame of the relations which took place between Zurich and Milan. Most of the occasions for exchanges took part in between the Thirties and the Fifties, years during which Bill underwent a significant period of artistic growth. He meets the Swiss progressive architects and the Paris artists from the Abstraction-Création movement, enters the CIAM, collaborates with Le Corbusier to the third volume of his Complete Works, and in Milan he works and gets confronted with the events related to post-war reconstruction. In these years Bill defines his own working methodology, attaining an artistic maturity in his work. The present research investigates the mentioned time period, despite some necessary exceptions. II The official Max Bill bibliography is naturally wide, including spreading works along with ones more devoted to analytical investigation, mainly written in German and often translated into French and English (Max Bill himself published his works in three languages). Few works have been published in Italian and, excluding the catalogue of the Parma exhibition from 1977, they cannot be considered comprehensive. Many publications are exhibition catalogues, some of which include essays written by Max Bill himself, some others bring Bill’s comments in a educational-pedagogical approach, to accompany the observer towards a full understanding of the composition processes of his art works. Bill also left a great amount of theoretical speculations to encourage a critical reading of his works in the form of books edited or written by him, and essays published in ‘Werk’, magazine of the Swiss Werkbund, and other international reviews, among which Domus and Casabella. These three reviews have been important tools of analysis, since they include tracks of some of Max Bill’s architectural works. The architectural aspect is less investigated than the plastic and pictorial ones in all the main reference manuals on the subject: Benevolo, Tafuri and Dal Co, Frampton, Allenspach consider Max Bill as an artist proceeding in his work from Bauhaus in the Ulm experience . A first filing of his works was published in 2004 in the monographic issue of the Spanish magazine 2G, together with critical essays by Karin Gimmi, Stanislaus von Moos, Arthur Rüegg and Hans Frei, and in ‘Konkrete Architektur?’, again by Hans Frei. Moreover, the monographic essay on the Atelier Haus building by Arthur Rüegg from 1997, and the DPA 17 issue of the Catalonia Polytechnic with contributions of Carlos Martì, Bruno Reichlin and Ton Salvadò, the latter publication concentrating on a few Bill’s themes and architectures. An urge to studying and going in depth in Max Bill’s works was marked in 2008 by the centenary of his birth and by a recent rediscovery of Bill as initiator of the ‘minimalist’ tradition in Swiss architecture. Bill’s heirs are both very active in promoting exhibitions, researching and publishing. Jakob Bill, Max Bill’s son and painter himself, recently published a work on Bill’s experience in Bauhaus, and earlier on he had published an in-depth study on ‘Endless Ribbons’ sculptures. Angela Thomas Schmid, Bill’s wife and art historian, published in end 2008 the first volume of a biography on Max Bill and, together with the film maker Eric Schmid, produced a documentary film which was also presented at the last Locarno Film Festival. Both biography and documentary concentrate on Max Bill’s political involvement, from antifascism and 1968 protest movements to Bill experiences as Zurich Municipality councilman and member of the Swiss Confederation Parliament. In the present research, the bibliography includes also direct sources, such as interviews and original materials in the form of letters correspondence and graphic works together with related essays, kept in the max+binia+jakob bill stiftung archive in Zurich. III The results of the present research are organized into four main chapters, each of them subdivided into four parts. The first chapter concentrates on the research field, reasons, tools and methodologies employed, whereas the second one consists of a short biographical note organized by topics, introducing the subject of the research. The third chapter, which includes unpublished events, traces the historical and cultural frame with particular reference to the relations between Max Bill and the Italian scene, especially Milan and the architects Rogers and Baldessari around the Fifties, searching the themes and the keys for interpretation of Bill’s architectures and investigating the critical debate on the reviews and the plastic survey through sculpture. The fourth and last chapter examines four main architectures chosen on a geographical basis, all devoted to exhibition spaces, investigating Max Bill’s composition process related to the pictorial field. Paintings has surely been easier and faster to investigate and verify than the building field. A doctoral thesis discussed in Lausanne in 1977 investigating Max Bill’s plastic and pictorial works, provided a series of devices which were corrected and adapted for the definition of the interpretation grid for the composition structures of Bill’s main architectures. Four different tools are employed in the investigation of each work: a context analysis related to chapter three results; a specific theoretical essay by Max Bill briefly explaining his main theses, even though not directly linked to the very same work of art considered; the interpretation grid for the composition themes derived from a related pictorial work; the architecture drawing and digital three-dimensional model. The double analysis of the architectural and pictorial fields is functional to underlining the relation among the different elements of the composition process; the two fields, however, cannot be compared and they stay, in Max Bill’s works as in the present research, interdependent though self-sufficient. IV An important aspect of Max Bill production is self-referentiality: talking of Max Bill, also through Max Bill, as a need for coherence instead of a method limitation. Ernesto Nathan Rogers describes Bill as the last humanist, and his horizon is the known world but, as the ‘Concrete Art’ of which he is one of the main representatives, his production justifies itself: Max Bill not only found a method, but he autonomously re-wrote the ‘rules of the game’, derived timeless theoretical principles and verified them through a rich and interdisciplinary artistic production. The most recurrent words in the present research work are synthesis, unity, space and logic. These terms are part of Max Bill’s vocabulary and can be referred to his works. Similarly, graphic settings or analytical schemes in this research text referring to or commenting Bill’s architectural projects were drawn up keeping in mind the concise precision of his architectural design. As for Mies van der Rohe, it has been written that Max Bill took art to ‘zero degree’ reaching in this way a high complexity. His works are a synthesis of art: they conceptually encompass all previous and –considered their developments- most of contemporary pictures. Contents and message are generally explicitly declared in the title or in Bill’s essays on his artistic works and architectural projects: the beneficiary is invited to go through and re-build the process of synthesis generating the shape. In the course of the interview with the Milan artist Getulio Alviani, he tells how he would not write more than a page for an essay on Josef Albers: everything was already evident ‘on the surface’ and any additional sentence would be redundant. Two years after that interview, these pages attempt to decompose and single out the elements and processes connected with some of Max Bill’s works which, for their own origin, already contain all possible explanations and interpretations. The formal reduction in favour of contents maximization is, perhaps, Max Bill’s main lesson.

Desenmascarando la domesticación de las mujeres : Graciela Cabal y el recurso a la “mimicry"

La literatura, además de su especificidad como obra de arte, constituye un modo privilegiado de conocimiento y es una herramienta clave en la construcción de nuestra identidad. Precisamente, aquel que posee el lenguaje tiene la capacidad de ordenar el mundo. Esto se debe a la interdependencia que existe entre mundo y lenguaje: el discurso nos remite a una red relaciones de poder, el entramado patriarcal, que se da en la sociedad, que es construida con palabras y que, justamente por esto, puede cambiarse. Entonces, si la forma de relatar es una manera de ordenar el mundo, lo que quedaría por delante sería romper con el discurso que somete a las mujeres. Luce Irigaray (1985) propone un modo de hacerlo: utilizando la mimicry, mímesis o imitación intencionada, que permite asumir deliberadamente la subordinación de mujeres y llevarla a una afirmación para poder frustrarla. La escritora Graciela Beatriz Cabal hizo suya la propuesta de Irigaray y la plasmó en su obra. Este artículo, entonces, versará sobre la utilización de la mimicry en su obra. Para analizar la utilización de dicho recurso, se examinará el cuento La Señora Planchita (1999). .

La oposición phúsis/tékhne en Plotino

En Plotino no puede hablarse de "cambio de estética" ni aun de "estética", en el sentido en que este término refiere a diversas teorías que tratan de definir las condiciones de posibilidad de los juicios de valor sobre las obras de arte. El filósofo alemán Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten forjó el término en el siglo XVIII, pero fue Kant quien, en su Crítica del juicio, dio a esta disciplina su orientación definitiva. En las Enéadas la cuestión de la belleza presenta una dimensión muy diferente. La belleza es la manifestación de la presencia de lo Inteligible en todo lo que le es inferior y la obra de arte no es sino una de las instancias de esta manifestación, quizá la menos elevada
