Abstract
YUROVSKI, Ruth. Genderlessness in the Status, Role and Artworks of Kibbutz Women Artists. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2021, n.124, pp.179-200. Epub Apr 30, 2021. ISSN 2182-7435. https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.11705.
This article aims to analyze the social status, role and artworks of women artists in a society which defined itself as egalitarian and utopian, through the case study of women artists on Israeli kibbutz. My argument is that the social status, role and artworks of women artists on the kibbutz express genderlessness, as defined by Erik Olin Wright (2011). A social-historic analysis of the status and role of kibbutz women artists, and an artistic analysis of artworks by Idit Levavi Gabai, Marion Fuchs and Tzila Liss, will demonstrate how the kibbutz, at least from the aspect of its artists, could be addressed and used as an example of a genderless society.
Keywords : art; Erik Olin Wright; genderlessness; Israeli kibbutz; women.
