Summary:

The work Images of Women in the Modern West combines the sociological analysis of the forms of representation of women in Western societies with the apprehension of feelings through details of pictorial language. This first volume, "Witches and Tupinambás Canibais", accompanies the diabolization of the image of women in the 15th and 16th centuries through witches and Tupinambás Indians, making known the dialogue between these images that tormented and bewitched men in the transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age, and its transformation in that encounter. Isabelle Anchieta proposes a style of reflection that explores the multiple possibilities of interpreting images from a sociological perspective, without disregarding artistic particularities or the singularities of the act of their creation. The trilogy was based on the author's doctoral thesis, defended in 2014 at the Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas (FFLCH) of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), which required eight years of research. Almost all the images in the books were analyzed personally by the author, which required five trips abroad, with an average duration of six months each, "to better understand the relationship of the images with the space in which they were produced was of equal importance.".
