Abstract

Deze eerste Belgische tattoogids is een uniek werk dat iedere tattooliefhebber bij de hand neemt om niet verdwalen in het toch wel bijzondere wereldje. Het boek zorgt ervoor dat je de tattoo krijgt die je écht wilt. Het is een standaardwerk, voor de diehard liefhebber en leek. Tattoos laten niemand onverschillig. Of je nu voor of tegen bent, je eerste overweegt of je voorlaatste net hebt laten zetten. Als persoonlijke expressie van grote of kleine verhalen of puur decoratief, wie er heeft, die heeft ze met een reden. Over de redenen waarom je wel of niet een tattoo laat zetten, vertellen de auteurs niet. Wel geven ze duidelijke info over het proces, van idee tot uitvoering, een hoop ‘things to consider’ en vooral een ruime selectie aan Belgische topartiesten. Je krijgt een inkijk in de persoon van de artiest, zijn of haar werkplek, hun visie op het vak. Zo kies je de stijl en de artist die matchen met jouw idee of concept. Dagmar Verfaillie, tattooartiest bij Arthouse The Liner Roeselare, en Brecht Vande Walle, tattoominnend copywriter, leggen je in dit boek van naald tot naald uit hoe je ervoor zorgt dat je tattoo een blijvend meesterstuk wordt. Van tiny tattoo tot body suit.

Abstract

Under the Skin investigates the role of cross-cultural body modification in seventeenth-century and eighteenth-century North America, revealing that the practices of tattooing and scalping were crucial to interactions between Natives and newcomers. These permanent and painful marks could act as signs of alliance or signs of conflict, producing a complex bodily archive of cross-cultural entanglement.Indigenous body modification practices were adopted and transformed by colonial powers, making tattooing and scalping key forms of cultural and political contestation in early America. Although these bodily practices were quite distinct—one a painful but generally voluntary sign of accomplishment and affiliation, the other a violent assault on life and identity—they were linked by growing colonial perceptions that both were crucial elements of “Nativeness.” Tracing the transformation of concepts of bodily integrity, personal and collective identities, and the sources of human difference, Under the Skin investigates both the lived physical experience and the contested metaphorical power of early American bodies.Struggling for power on battlefields, in diplomatic gatherings, and in intellectual exchanges, Native Americans and Anglo-Americans found their physical appearances dramatically altered by their interactions with one another. Contested ideas about the nature of human and societal difference translated into altered appearances for many early Americans. In turn, scars and symbols on skin prompted an outpouring of stories as people debated the meaning of such marks. Perhaps paradoxically, individuals with culturally ambiguous or hybrid appearances prompted increasing efforts to insist on permanent bodily identity. By the late eighteenth century, ideas about the body, phenotype, and culture were increasingly articulated in concepts of race. Yet even as the interpretations assigned to inscribed flesh shifted, fascination with marked bodies remained.

Abstract

“Tattooed Bodies—apart from often being an exemplary model of Continental philosophy—is a groundbreaking contribution to tattoo studies that shows us how tattooing, when taken seriously, can open up the meanings of works of art, literature, film, and theory itself in unexpected ways. For those who have already been thinking about the meaning of “the tattoo,” this collection of essays will greatly expand possibilities of inquiry. For those who are new to the field, several essays act simply as excellent primers on how to undertake deconstructive, anthropological, aesthetic analysis in general offering up scholarly, nuanced investigations of texts without indulging in exclusionary jargon.” -Danielle Meijer, DePaul University "What is a tattoo? Associated in the past with criminals and degenerates, tattoos have become high fashion in the 21st century. In this collection, leading scholars speculate about the nature and implications of these bodily inscriptions. Are they social or antisocial? Conformist or rebellious? Decorative or disfiguring? Atavistic or futuristic? How do they relate to other scars, such as the navel as the mark of our maternal origin? By opening up these questions and many more, the essays in this volume show how the tattoo challenges the distinction between word and flesh, self and society, life and death.” -Maud Ellmann, University of Chicago The essays collected in Tattooed Bodies draw on a range of theoretical paradigms and empirical knowledge to investigate tattoos, tattooing, and our complex relations with marks on skin. Engaging with perspectives in art history, continental philosophy, media studies, psychoanalysis, critical theory, literary studies, biopolitics, and cultural anthropology, the volume reflects the diversity of meanings attributed to tattoos across cultures. Essays explore tattoos and tattooing in Derrida, Deleuze and Guattari, Lacan, Agamben, and Jean-Luc Nancy, while interpreting tattoos in literary works by Melville, Beckett, Kafka, Genet, and Jeff VanderMeer, among others.

Abstract

Loin d’être un phénomène de mode éphémère, le tatouage se démocratise aux quatre coins du monde, certains évoquant même une révolution culturelle. Pourtant, les préjugés ont la vie dure ! Alors que se pose la question de savoir si le tatouage peut légalement être considéré comme un art, il est encore perçu comme l’apanage des marginaux et fortement associé à la criminalité. Cette représentation ne doit rien au hasard. Historiquement prohibé par les trois religions monothéistes, le tatouage a servi à marquer les criminels du sceau de l’infamie et a alimenté toutes sortes de théories criminologiques dès le XIXe siècle. Il n’y a donc rien d’étonnant à ce que divers groupes criminels aient fini par le revendiquer comme signe identitaire. Comment, des prisons françaises aux gangs hispano-américains en passant par la Russie et l’Irezumi des yakuzas, ces l'ont arboré ? Jonglant avec le droit, la criminologie et l’histoire des civilisations, Benoît Le Dévédec (juriste) et Arno KSR (tatoueur) dressent un panorama de ces tatouages de criminels et reviennent sur les rapports entre tatouages, crimes, criminels et droit afin de tordre le cou aux idées reçues. Ce livre est une véritable immersion dans les eaux troubles des tatouages hors-la-loi.
