藝術中的性與性別

Art history is filled with contested bodies, shifting gender roles, and powerful negotiations of sexuality. From Renaissance nudes to contemporary feminist installations, the representation of sex and gender in fine art has been a site of resistance, reproduction, and revolution. This course critically examines how sex and gender have been represented across diverse fine art traditions—painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and installation—and how these works have challenged or reinforced cultural norms. Through feminist, queer, and intersectional readings, students will be asked to reflect on how artistic practice intervenes in the politics of the body, desire, censorship, and identity. Our aim is not only to study canonical works but also to broaden perspectives on the canon—introducing marginalized artists, encouraging reflection on established narratives, and inviting students to thoughtfully engage with questions about art, power, and society. 藝術史中蘊含了對身體的多重詮釋、性別角色的轉變，以及對性議題的深層探討。從文藝復興時期的裸體畫作，到當代女性主義的裝置藝術，性與性別在美術中的呈現，始終是重要的表達與思辨場域。 本課程將以批判與反思的角度，探討性與性別如何在不同的美術傳統中被呈現——涵蓋繪畫、雕塑、攝影、行為藝術與裝置藝術——並思考這些作品如何回應或再現既有的文化價值。透過女性主義、酷兒理論與交織性等理論文本的閱讀，學生將被引導理解藝術實踐如何與身體、慾望、規範與身份認同的議題互動。 本課程的目標，不僅在於認識經典作品，也希望能拓展學生對「典範」的理解——介紹過去較少被關注的藝術家，鼓勵對傳統敘事的思考，並引導學生以開放而審慎的態度，參與關於藝術、社會與文化的討論。
