Umetnost in menstruacija : magistrsko delo

Najvirt, Anja (author), Kemperl, Metoda (mentor)

V magistrskem delu se ukvarjamo s sporočilno vrednostjo umetnine. Preko interpretacije umetnine se človek poglablja v upodobljeno. Seznanja se z idejami umetnika, prostora in časa, v katerem umetnik živi oziroma je živel, ter se ob tem sooča z lastnimi percepcijami in razmišljanji o določeni temi. Preko analiziranja umetniških del dobimo vpogled v družbeno življenje. Nas bodo zanimale umetnine, ki tematizirajo menstruacijo, saj odnos do menstruacije pomeni odnos do ženske in njene ženskosti. Menstruacija je v vizualni kulturi (film, televizija, oglaševanje, idr. mediji) pogosto prikazana na način, ki krepi negativno percepcijo pojava. Gre za odnos izključevanja, ignoriranja in zavračanja. Vsestranska prisotnost medijev vpliva na mišljenje in vedenje družbe. Način, kako sprejemamo menstruacijo, pomembno vpliva na življenje posameznice in zato se je o pojavu potrebno pogovarjati. Odnos deklic do menstruacije poleg medijev bistveno konstruirata družina in osnovna šola; slednja je odgovorna za privzgajanje kolektivnega odnosa do pojava. Osnovnošolska institucija privzgaja določen odnos do sveta, zato nas bo zanimalo, kakšen odnos do menstruacije se privzgaja v okviru šolskega pouka, in kako povezan je ta s sodobnimi problemi družbe. Za pogovor o aktualnih problemih je primerna sodobna umetnost, saj je ta povezana s sodobnim življenjem in se ukvarja s problemi, ki se dogajajo tukaj in zdaj. Pogovor na temo menstruacije v osnovni šoli je smiselno uresničiti skozi medpredmetno povezovanje, saj je pojav potrebno celostno obravnavati tako z biološkega kot s sociološkega in psihološkega vidika. V nalogi bomo naredili analizo učnih načrtov in ugotavljali, katere predmete bi bilo potrebno povezati za uresničitev medpredmetnih povezav. Zanimalo nas bo, kateri učni cilji in učne vsebine se lahko udejanjajo v medpredmetnem povezovanju. Z umetnostnozgodovinsko metodologijo bomo raziskali, katera umetniška dela so primerna za uporabo v vzgojno-izobraževalnem procesu.

Abstract

In our master's thesis, we examine the value of the message conveyed by artworks. By interpreting a work of art, individuals contemplate the depicted subject matter and the reasons behind it. They become familiar with the artist's ideas, the historical context in which the artist lived, and simultaneously confront their own perceptions and thoughts. Contemporary art serves as a medium for discussing current world issues as it reflects modern life and brings to light current problems. Analyzing artworks allows us to gain insight into society's attitudes towards a broad range of topics. Specifically, we are interested in artworks that center around menstruation, as our relationship with this phenomenon reflects our attitudes towards women and femininity. Visual culture, such as films, television, advertising, and other media, often depicts menstruation in a manner that reinforces negative attitudes towards it, perpetuating an attitude of exclusion, ignorance, and rejection. The omnipresence of media influences societal thinking and behavior, making it essential to address this phenomenon's negative perception. Young individuals' attitudes towards menstruation are significantly shaped by their families and primary schools. Thus, it is crucial to examine the societal attitudes inculcated by these institutions. Elementary schools are responsible for instilling certain attitudes toward the world. Therefore, we will investigate the attitude towards menstruation inculcated within school lessons and its connection to contemporary problems. A holistic approach to discussing menstruation is necessary, incorporating biological, sociological, and psychological perspectives. Cross-curricular integration is an effective way to teach this phenomenon. We will analyze lesson plans and determine which subjects should be connected to achieve cross-curricular integration. We will also explore learning goals and content that can be implemented to achieve this integration. Using the art historical methodology, we will identify works of art suitable for educational purposes.
