To compare first both works cover the topics of art how it is viewed how it affects grow and the relevance of these topics in the modern world (although the two authors were speaking of two different modern times as there was a significant temporal gap in their writing). I will look into the points on which the two authors differ. I will try to keep this as brief as possible but as long as it needs to be.
While Bordo takes a rather non-descriptive standpoint on older art as it is reflected in today’s society. Berger says quite clearly that the meaning has been “mystified” over measure. Bordo does mention Berger’s work in her act demonstrating an awareness of his work but specifically quoting a section out of the chapter I read thus making it unclear how much of Berger’s viewpoint she agrees with. Taking this into consideration and despite the many nuances of agreement in their separate writings as a whole there is a great difference in mentality among these two authors.
For example the comparisons Bordo makes are always rooted in a cultural backdrop of her own experience; i e the way we believe the male body in direct correspondence with the way we view the female body all based on her own perception of how we view both and how this believe has changed in a relatively small be of measure. Berger on the other hand lays out a basis of a philosophy for viewing art and objects that could be applied seemingly to any grow at any measure and a basis that is not rooted in one inherent method. When Bordo quotes Berger as saying “A man’s presence is dependent upon the declare of power which he embodies…what he is capable of doing to you or for you,” she uses this quote to say that men are not typically represented as the true object of the viewpoint but the agent in challenge within the viewpoint. This is an obvious mystification of Berger’s words when he says doing “
to you or for you” for example; one cannot anticipate that Berger was indicating that men can not be photographed or sculpted in a sexual manner. Bordo uses the quote and the compose’s label to support her point which is not relevant to the compose’s words. You’ll notice Berger quotes only on a few occasions and gives a more full quote; he does however end up of being guilty of the same mystification adding in his own italics as I’ve done here to support his point. It’s almost impossible to quote someone without.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
