U sklopu SMOQUA - Festivala queer i feminističke kulture (Smoqua - Festival queer i feminističke kulture: Nemapirani teritoriji | Udruga LORI) Centar za ženske studije Filozofskog fakulteta u Rijeci poziva na predavanje Transgressive Vulvas and the Curated Self: Virtual and Real Media-Bodies profesorice Meredith Jones u petak, 8. listopada 2021. godine s početkom u 14 sati putem Zoom platforme.
Abstract: This paper investigates changing notions of the real, working around the idea of 'media-bodies'. The current global move in media from textuality to visuality as primary mode of communication remains undertheorised. In terms of social media, we now expect and accept that images of bodies have been carefully lit, filtered and cropped, and that even those with the #nofilter hashtag are highly curated. Despite this, we continue to adhere to notions of the real and the authentic, using them to denote value, especially when judging women's worth. In this presentation I argue that the lines between virtual and real, corporeal and represented, two-dimensional and three-dimensional are increasingly blurred. I propose that when the fleshy ‘real’ body/face is reconciled with the one that appears on screen, what we are creating is a 'curated self'.
