Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Barbara, 2006.

Working across the fields of Art History, Religious Studies, and Women's Studies, this dissertation addresses the politics of representation, drawing on definitions and theories of ritual (from Anthropology and Sociology as well as Religious Studies) to articulate a framework for investigating performative and bodily representational practices in contemporary visual art. In particular, this dissertation examines practice-based approaches to the study of ritual that emphasize its political elements and effects, combining these approaches with theories of representation, and specifically mimesis, to propose that ritual is itself a political, and politicizing, representational practice. Then, working additionally with art historical understandings of body art from the 1960s and 1970s, the central elements of ritual as a representational practice---its performative engagements, its active use of the human body, and its reconfiguration of the contexts in which it takes shape---are traced in the work of three recent feminist artists, Ana Mendieta (1948-1985), Doris Salcedo (b. 1958), and Francesca Woodman (1958-1981). In particular, ritual conceived as a political and politicizing representational practice serves as a lens through which to consider the ways in which each of these artists herself explores a political issue in her artwork: the experience of dislocation and exile in the case of Mendieta, political violence in the case of Salcedo, and representation itself in the case of Woodman.
