​Uma releitura fotográfica feminina de arcanos maiores do tarô de A. E. Waite e Pamela C. Smith: a questão de gênero nas narrativas visuais das imagens arquetípicas

Abstract

This research presents an artistic production project of a photographic version of four major arcana in the traditional Waite-Smith tarot deck. The traditionally male archetypes presented in the Waite-Smith tarot cards are reworked as female characters. The author combines the jungian concept of individuation, Sallie Nichols’s takes on jungian psychology and tarot archetypes and also Clarissa Pinkola Estés’s idea of Wild Woman to analyze and transform the visual narratives contained in the male tarot archetypes as narratives of female potentialities. The main goal of this research is to re-contextualize the traditional Waite-Smith major arcana characters in order to create new and interactive visual narratives based on a critical point of view in regard to gender roles and creative visual work.
