XI. INTANGIBLE AND DIGITAL FORMATS AS EXPRESSIVE MEANS FOR GENDER NARRATIVES IN CONTEMPORARY ART.
INCORPORATION AND DEVELOPMENT IN POSTGRADUATE STUDIES
Xesqui Castañer López (University of Valencia -Spain-)
The new art history arises, from an interdisciplinary view, theoretical and practical embodiment issues related with contemporary art and its inclusion and development in college. At the same time, gender studies have been incorporated into the development of postgraduate curriculum, placing value on the art work of women, continuing the contestation to the canon already started in the twentieth century. These gender discourses have assumed new technologies as the most versatile media format with unlimited field for image dissemination. Consequently, in the context of globalization, the intangible and digital formats have become priority means when developing feminist and post-feminist theories in the arts. These speeches, located on the theory and practice of postmodernism, focus on queer, postcolonial and eco-feminist ideas.
