Resumo: This paper aims to analyze the use of clothing and other fashion items in the self-portraits of French photographer Claude Cahun (1894-1954), focusing on the role they play in the gender performances presented in the images. In order to do so, we proceed to the analysis of three photographs, based on Erwin Panofsky’s iconographic method. The analysis leads us to conclude that clothing (alongside with other fashion items) is a crucial element for the intelligibility of the images, serving as a tool for the recognition of gender identities. The relevance of the article stems from Cahun’s recent recognition as a precursor to gender discussions, as well as from the lack of research on her work, specifically in the Fashion area.

Para tanto, procedemos a análise de três fotografias, com base no método iconográfico de Erwin Panofsky. A análise nos permite concluir que a vestimenta (juntamente com outros itens de moda) é um elemento crucial de inteligibilidade das imagens, servindo como um instrumento para o reconhecimento de identidades de gênero. A relevância do trabalho decorre do reconhecimento que Cahun tem recebido ultimamente como precursora das discussões contemporâneas de gênero, bem como da falta de trabalhos que tenham analisado sua obra especificamente na área de Moda.Associação Brasileira de Estudos e Pesquisas em Moda - Abepem2019-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://dobras.emnuvens.com.br/dobras/article/view/98710.26563/dobras.v12i27.987dObra[s] – revista da Associação Brasileira de Estudos de Pesquisas em Moda; v. 12 n. 27 (2019); 147-1642358-00031982-0313reponame:Revista dObra[s]instname:Associação Brasileira de Estudos e Pesquisas em Moda (Abepem)instacron:ABEPEMporhttps://dobras.emnuvens.com.br/dobras/article/view/987/588Copyright (c) 2020 Emerson Silva Meneses, Martin Jayoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMeneses, Emerson SilvaJayo, Martin2020-04-24T18:29:13Zoai:ojs.dobras.emnuvens.com.br:article/987Revistahttps://dobras.emnuvens.com.br/dobras/indexONGhttps://dobras.emnuvens.com.br/dobras/oaidobras.abepem@gmail.com2358-00031982-0313opendoar:2023-01-12T16:05:40.327303Revista dObra[s] - Associação Brasileira de Estudos e Pesquisas em Moda (Abepem)true
