Sobre o ensaio

• What is context? How can we understand the context?
• Como circula? Como ataca o publico?
• Todos nossos objetos hoje sao objetos culturais, ligados a economia
• We take things we’re going to analyze as objects but instead, we’re going to analyze them as artifacts
• Analyze and observe things in another way that is not the scientific
• nao de onde as coisas vieram mas como elas funcionam
• o ensaio é um tipo de definicao e especulação de objetos que se encontram na nossa frente
• No ensaio refletir como aquilo é gostado ou adiado

quanto a nudez foi tomada historicamente como ideal de belo

• With this power of creating we can get to the point of not only representing something real to our possession but also shaping it to our own taste and desire. And when it comes to the female body, and knowing that mainly men though the decades were accepted socially as artists, we have a distorted version of what we define the female beauty.
• The body was so represented by the male point of view throughout the time that what we have today is women often not identifying themselves with what we have in movies, magazines, etc
• But when the Greeks say that the statues are a double of a dead man they apply this to the goddess as well? Because goddesses do not necessarily belong to the dead world, they belong to an uncategorized world that is neither the underworld nor the living world. And in this case, we can assume that the statue represents the body of a certain woman but being a woman also represents the goddess of love.
• how do we know that Venus de milo is a representation of the goddess of love or just of a woman? or just for being a woman is the representation of the goddess automatically why I did not start describing her from her missing arms?
• how she lost her arms? and does it matter?
• having no arms interferes in her beauty or what people think beauty is?
• why has she considered a reference of beauty? what makes her defined as beautiful and how this influence beauty standard in our-days?
