Golota v Zahodni družbi

diplomsko delo

Abstract

Ne glede na to, da je golota univerzalno fizično stanje ljudi, do nje na Zahodu gojimo ambivalentna občutja. Pomeni, ki jih pripisujemo goloti, so mnogoteri, spreminjajoči se in kontradiktorni, saj izvirajo iz različnih časovnih obdobji in družbenih sfer. Religija, kapitalizem, liberalizem, individualizem, prakse nadzorovanja, spolna neenakost in pritisk lepotnih idealov na Zahodu v sodobnosti igrajo pomembno vlogo pri našem dojemanju golote. V svoji raziskavi, ki sem jo opravila na podlagi štirih polstrukturiranih intervjujev, ugotavljam, da je golota v določenih kontekstih lahko sredstvo za pobeg od telesnih norm, ki zlasti pritiskajo na ženske. Golo poziranje za umetnike je zato lahko lepa in osvobajajoča izkušnja. Ženska se skozi izkušnjo golega poziranja lahko spet poveže sama s sabo in ob relaksaciji družbenega pritiska glede zunanjega izgleda ponovno začuti ljubezen do svojega telesa. Ženske se s tem, ko svoje telo izpostavijo radikalni objektifikaciji, slednje pravzaprav osvobodijo ter posledično postanejo aktivni subjekt, ki je v patriarhalni družbi sposoben vračati pogled.

Secondary title:	Nudity in Western society
Secondary abstract:	Regardless of the fact that nudity is a universal physical condition of human, the Western societies experience ambivalent feelings towards it. The meanings that are attached to nudity are various, ever-changing and ambiguous as they derive from different historical periods and social spheres. Religion, capitalism, liberalism, individualism, practices of discipline, sexual inequality as well as the pressure of the beauty standards of the West all have an important role in our perception of nudity. In my research, which is based on four semi-structured interviews, I argue that nudity in certain context can be represented as a mean of escape from body norms, especially exposed to women. Nude modelling for artists can therefore be a beautiful and liberating experience. Throughout it, woman can reconnect with herself and, with the social pressure regarding her appeal being relieved, start to feel love to her body again, free from the pressures of imposed beauty ideals. By exposing their bodies to radical objectification, women actually liberate themselves and, as a result, become an active subject capable of returning the gaze to patriarchal society.
