Abstract

Saudi women artists challenge cultural boundaries to document change in the notions of identity and agency. These artists employ many experimental techniques through unconventional themes while balancing cultural traditions, Saudi heritage, and Islamic identity. This chapter seeks to identify in what ways artists disrupt the commonly–known prohibition regarding figuration as relegated to the art of painting vis–á–vis photography, particularly in figurative depictions. It suggests two types of reality: the spiritual Real that is connected to painting, and the technological real, which is comparable to reality without a soul. It thus demonstrates how the interrelated concepts of art, reality, and the Real can impact values attached to representations of women in Saudi art. The chapter draws upon the frameworks of feminism, postcolonialism, Post–Panofskian iconography, and deconstruction.
改变的时刻
沙特女性艺术家挑战文化界限,记录身份和代理观念的变化。这些艺术家在平衡文化传统、沙特遗产和伊斯兰身份的同时,通过非常规的主题采用了许多实验技术。本章试图确定艺术家以何种方式打破了众所周知的关于具象的禁止,将其降级为绘画艺术-á-vis摄影,特别是在具象描绘中。它暗示了两种类型的现实:与绘画相关的精神现实和与没有灵魂的现实相媲美的技术现实。因此,它展示了艺术、现实和真实的相互关联的概念如何影响沙特艺术中女性表现的价值观。本章借鉴了女权主义、后殖民主义、后帕诺夫斯基肖像学和解构主义的框架。
