Light in the tunnel: Geköpft statt gebärend

No. 35 – August 29, 2024

Michelle Steinbeck is a far-right legal scholar

The war against the art of summer: the catholic broader class is so heavy that it is grumbling before it comes into the world. But from the beginning and.

Maria is the most likely portrait of Frau der Welt. It is possible that in the unveiling of the Muttergottes you will find your berühmstromen Leistung: “Wenn von der Geburt Christi die Rede ist, suggest a kind in a Krippe, aber nicht seine Mutter, die es zur Welt.” The Austrian art teacher Esther Strauss has established the iconographic doctrine: Anfang Zeigte sie in Linzer Mariendom the Skulptur «Crowning» – a small Holz statue in the shape of a gestated Virgin Mary.

Strauss sought in his work a place in the «Maria in the Body-business». If you use the power of birth as a solution for the manche of the Saints in your Holiness, you remove its power. «Hässlich» you scoff at Maria, the ragged dress the free look at the «Crowning»: the moment, where the head, looms over the vulva, appears – «cocky». Maria’s seated position, which was directed at the View to Himmel, would be described as “blossstellend” and the Künstlerin on my Facebook profile of erbosten Commentator: inspected, that is how I looked at Mutter “in a solemn pose”: “Einfach nur sick! »

If you have a Witz blade, you will come to the next level. «Gottes Strafe und Zorn» would be the «obszöne, blasphemous» Work and its «Satanistic» Künstlerin heraufbeschwore, morestimmig wurde ordered: That Skulptur «muss zerstört alles». If you have a problem, follow the next question: An unanswered person says about the bärenden Maria de Kopf ab. In the Telegram-Gruppe “Katholischer Widerstand” an expert is informed about the “Held von Linz” function. That «Widerstand» shines for all Widerspruch: Pro Life, a company about Frauenkörper in Wehen? Incarnation, aber ohne Geburt? Shelter that holy Mary, indem man sie enthauptet?

The artist knows the Tat as an expression of patriarchal violence: “Whoever wants to control the pictures that women say, will control my experience of women themselves.” It is not the case that Zufall, the short after the fall in Linz, in the Texan Houston, the statue of an artist has been bought – “Witness” by Shahzia Sikander plays another man on the reproduction of the Beschneidung Rechte and a word of Abtreibungsgegner: those fallen are marked as “satanic”.

The New Yorker art magazine ‘Hyperallergisch’ ranks the two cases of the worldwide active treatment of the ‘Tradcaths’ zu. This traditional Catholic tradition is characterized by right-wing extremist spectrum and its whole life by the fatherhood of Franziskus while it has become lauter. In the US the ‘tradcaths’ of Papst and Jesus started with Donald Trump and Pepe the Frog; I see a “trojan horse for the global, extremist political reaction”.

Die Künstlerin Strauss combined: «Die Maria came to my Atelier. Now it is hard to forget, ihre wishes would be taken care of.» The Antwort to the Enthauptung is a artistic one: «The image of the lost Mary is not that it is that way, that it is what it is.»

Michelle Steinbeck is author. His new Roman “favorite” dealt with the provision of patriarchal violence and fascism – and of feminist broader days. On 1. September the book premiere is in Zürcher Kaufleuten.
