LOPEZ BETANZOS, Inés Marisela. Image of the female nude body in art, long-lasting symbol. An analysis based on the sociology of Norbert Elias and feminism. LiminaR [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.1, e963.  Epub 20-Jan-2023. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v21i1.963.

The sociology of Norbert Elias and feminism reflect on the naked bodies of women as a long-lasting symbol, whose origin as a preponderant discursive tradition in art dates from the Renaissance. We seek to understand the way in which women’s naked bodies remain in the visual arts as a signifier of desire, sin, and evil; whose meanings are anchored to a subjectivity typical of a social context. The reiteration of women’s naked bodies requires a holistic understanding of the way in which the behavior of the body has been shaped, which is part of a process of civilization in Western society that involves the disciplinarity of the instincts. The naked body, hidden in society, becomes a signifier of desire, sin, and evil in art. The body is where the relationship between subject and society is indiscernibly inscribed.
