Esta investigação interdisciplinar intitulada A vulva na arte: contributos de mulheres artistas para a afirmação da sexualidade e subjetividade femininas, cruza estudos de género e ciências sociais com artes visuais e performativas. Tendo como estudo de caso artistas contemporâneas que representam vulvas nas suas obras, os principais objetivos desta pesquisa são: entender a influência das representações sexuais, presentes em diferentes media, na formação da sexualidade das artistas; analisar a auto-imagem corporal e erotismo das artistas; estudar a intencionalidade e motivação por detrás do processo criativo das vulvas; refletir sobre o impacto nos espectadores destas figurações artísticas de vulvas. A partir de teorias e conceitos dos principais autores das áreas dos estudos de género, ciências sociais, bem como das artes visuais e performativas, como Paul Preciado, Margareth Rago, Luce Irigaray e Pierre Bourdieu, foram analisadas imagens de vulvas em obras de artistas, desde os anos 1960 à atualidade, como Carolee Schneemann, VALIE EXPORT e Annie Sprinkle. Igualmente, de forma a responder aos objetivos principais desta investigação, foram entrevistadas as artistas Fabiana Faleiros, Flavia Leme, Franziska Dickman, Juliana Notari, Sue Nhamandu e eu mesma, que representam vulvas nos seus trabalhos artísticos. Optamos por metodologias qualitativas, e pela autoetnografia feminista, para entrecruzar os dados recolhidos nas entrevistas com as reflexões teóricas. Reconhecer a importância das figurações da vulva por mulheres artistas, enquanto símbolos e lugares de prazer, permite um novo olhar sobre os corpos sexualmente reprimidos das mulheres ao longo da história, buscando contribuir assim para uma melhor autonomia e liberdade das suas sexualidades e afirmação de si mesmas como Sujeitos.
This interdisciplinary research, titled Vulva in Art: Contributions by Women Artists to the Affirmation of Female Sexuality and Subjectivities, combines gender studies and social sciences with visual and performance arts. Taking as case studies contemporary artists who represent vulvas in their work, the main goals of this research are: understanding the influence of sexual representations, throughout different media, in forming the artists’ sexualities; analyzing the artists’ bodily self-image and eroticism; studying the intent and motivation behind the process of creating these vulvas; reflecting on the impact these artistic renderings of vulvas have on viewers. Based on the theories and concepts of the more relevant authors from the field of gender studies, social sciences and visual and performance arts, such as Paul Preciado, Margareth Rago, Luce Irigaray and Pierre Bourdieu, images of vulvas in the work of artists from the 1960s to the present, such as Carolee Schneemann, VALIE EXPORT and Annie Sprinkle are analyzed. In order to meet the main goals of this research, the artists Fabiana Faleiros, Flavia Leme, Franziska Dickman, Juliana Notari, Sue Nhamandu and myself, who represent vulvas in their artistic works, have been interviewed. Qualitative methodologies have been opted for, as well as feminist autoethnography, to cross the data gathered in interviews with theoretical reflection. Recognizing the importance of representations of vulvas by women artists as symbols and places of pleasure, allows for a new way to look at the sexually repressed bodies of women throughout history, in an attempt to contribute towards a greater autonomy and freedom of their sexualities and self-affirmation as subjects.
