Madonna. The Dolores of Pop Culture

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the text are two subversive photographic series with the Madonna in the main role: in the first one, the artist suffers in the manner of Mater Dolorosa, and in the second one, she organizes the Last Supper. The author examines subversive photos of Madonna as an example of a discourse of the weak, using Foucault’s concept of counter-history as a tool of analysis and interpretation. What story does Madonna tell us as she comes out of the shadows? Why does a pop culture icon interfere with the great themes of Christian art and iconographic types that consolidate and organize our knowledge about what happened between Holy Thursday and the Descent from the Cross and the entombment of Christ.
