| dc.description.abstract | The image of a woman throughout the course of history has always been secluded from the artistic masculine society in art. The urban perspective and postmodern thinking forms a central tension and conflict within new paintings and performances by twenty-first century women artists. The present research will seek to analyse selected artworks and performances of Malaysian female artists between years 2000 to 2015 in the light of postmodern feminism. Undeniably, postmodernism thoroughly reminds locals of the power of the Malaysian culture, which diversifies the identity of women today. This collection of artworks and performances capture the idea that not only the contemporary lifestyle and way of thought can be elements that place limitations on one’s perception of identity from a postmodern feminist perspective, but also other surrounding factors, in which this thesis will discuss further. Each subject’s conflict lies within her own ability or disability to balance between rationalization of truth and reality, as well as the conflict within the self, in relation to postmodernist interests. Focusing on the issues of identity and postmodern feminism, this thesis argues that the artworks and performances of the selected women artists reflects the grapple between conforming to the traditional culture with the new generational thought of the postmodern feminist way of life, thinking and culture in urban Malaysia which eventually leads to a whole new idea of the identity as a woman. | en_US |
