Resemantización de pinturas religiosas desde un enfoque de género: videoinstalación “Las más Puras”

Abstract

Within this research it is proposed to recemantize religious paintings from a gender perspective using the video-installation format to create the work "Las más puras". The question arises: How can religious paintings be resemanticized through a queer gaze in search of a cinema that strips away its classic narrative characteristics and takes concepts from expanded cinema? In order to begin to answer this question, it is necessary to cite the following references, which will be an essential part of this research: Gene Youngblood (1970) who theorizes and proposes a cinema that can be consumed by an expanded consciousness, departing from the traditional concept of production, distribution and cinema consumption; Judith Buttler (1995) an important contemporary philosopher who has made several academic contributions on queer theory, that we will also question with practices and theories that oppose the conceptions from the academy about gender and bodies. We will also study the Quito School and its historical context that has been studied by Alexandra Kennedy (2007). This research involves an applied qualitative methodology, its directed by a descriptive, qualitative and deductive system, its objective is developing a thoric reference boundary composed by concepts, techniques and esthetics that can help to reach the main objective that consists of carrying out the pertinent theoretical research and translating it into the planning of the video installation as production final where, starting from the resemantization of said paintings from a gender perspective, working with it the visibility of sex-generic diversities and to question the life models imposed by religion from reintroduced aesthetic elements.
