GRC - Female Creativity and Visual Culture: Historical (In)visibility of Creative Women
GRC - Female Creativity and Visual Culture: Historical (In)visibility of Creative Women
We are a consolidated research group with participants from the UIC and, secondarily, the Vitrubusier Foundation (VFP). Of the current members, two were part of the former SGR 2009/897HUM group, and three others are collaborating under a scientific agreement between UIC and VFP.
We are not a historical studies group; rather, our main knowledge area is the history of thought and social and political movements (it is a thinkers’ project). At the same time, we study aesthetics and art theory (because we are focused on female creativity) and the theory and history of education (the vehicle for connecting with society). The well-worn metaphor of an umbrella thus nicely encapsulates the thematic unity and heterogeneity of perspectives.
Our subject encompasses an important 20th-century issue, which the group members will address from various perspectives and disciplines: women in cultural exile, the notion of the (in)visibility of creative women, the critique of Henri Bergson’s phallocentrism, women from Edmond Eugène Alexis Rostand’s milieu, Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, an architect malgré-tout, games and gender, and, finally, the applicability of post-feminist discourse to contemporary Spanish cultural production.
