Resumo

This research aims to analyze the artistic creation of visual artist Fernanda Magalhães (1962 -) from Paraná, Brazil, who contemplate the limits and potential of body representations in art, especially large bodies or plus size bodys. The series of works "The representation of naked fat woman in the photograph" is emphasized in intention to discuss and problematize the visual and the prevailing patterns of embodiment, as well as control devices that regulate bodies and agencies who manage and stocks all those bodys in esthetics hierarchies, and docile the existences. To catch the meaning, the series of photographs chosen for this research and presents transgressive and unholy powers from the idealized thin body. The artistic production of Fernanda Magalhães is inserted in the of contemporary scene of Brazilian art, where the body becomes central in the construction of masterpieces made from different types of languages. From the top, we investigate at first, the relationship between body, transgression and profanity in line with the theoretical articulations of the feminist movement, then the transgression and profanity in some studies in contemporary Brazilian art, culminating in the analysis of series of Magellan. The references and theoretical contributions focus on the History, Theory and Criticism of Art and Visual Culture Studies in dialogue with the Anthropology of the Body.
