Mulheres, arte e poder: uma narrativa de contrapoder? by Ana Gabriela Macedo

“…My aim in this paper is to build on a fundamental essay by Linda Nochlin preci- sely titled “Women, Art and Power” (1988), where the author convincingly inves- tigates this triad while, in her own words, she “disentangles various discourses about power related to gender difference existing simultaneously with – as much surface as substractum – the master discourse of the iconography or narrative”. I propose to extend Nochlin’s analysis somehow further and, without twisting her premises, to introduce a shift of focus in this debate, from the analysis of the repre- sentation of women by male artists, to the role of the woman artist in contempo- rary art scene, i.e., from women as objects of representation, to women as agents and subjects of the representation. …”

O casamento de Leonor e Frederico III (1451-1452) e as relações entre Portugal e o Sacro Império nos finais da Idade Média by António Martins Costa
