Abstract
Along with the history of humankind, the adorable female body which ensures the continuity of the human race has been a field where the socio-cultural structure can be read in a contemporary art. The body, which was preliminarily a whole and a material for aesthetic categories, starkly began to get fragmented with wars in the 17th Century Europe and following the war, with egalitarian, liberal formations of 1968 movement. During the course of the change from modernism to post-modernism, the chaotic structure caused by global lifestyles made it inevitable to review the existing genres. The world wars, genocides that many scientists and artists left their countries, escaping from invasions, the regional and mass destruction, threat, violence and the anxiety caused by them; the fear, the politicisation, racism, poverty, migration, marginalisation, deterritorialisation, discrimination that started during especially the 1980s, have been concepts that were considered with a poststructuralist point-of-view.
Keywords: Body, art, female, gender, violence.
