“The cultural representation of the woman in power in Art and Fiction. Cleopatra: an example for the intertextual analysis.”
There are certain characters that, even if they are not strongly linked to our day by day’s issues, obtain an extraordinary presence in our shared narrations and artistic images. They may not seem to represent important elements of our philosophical, cultural or political heritage, but they still play a key role in our collective references: we choose them, from generation to generation, as vehicles of our individual and social identities. During these last years as doctoral researcher at the universities Sorbonne Nouvelle and Complutense, I have studied these cultural processes through a singular case: “The cultural representation of the woman in power in Art and Fiction’s characters. Cleopatra: an example for the intertextual analysis.” This research has been carried out through the coordination of two disciplinary fields -Communication Sciences and Sociology of Art- and has focalised on the analysis of a very specific sort of character: the cultural portraits of female social leaders made by art and fiction. With this purpose, we have chosen a single example to analyse it in its different historical, aesthetic and artistic representations: Cleopatra VII, the last leader of the Ancient Egypt and certainly one of the most popular historic feminine motives among artists and audiences.
