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.
