The use of language is not accidental outer layer of the individual sciences. Language of the humanities is not jargon. No rigid tool. The use of language is practice in the fullest sense of this philosophical category. Concepts of humanities intervene in all spheres of social life. Rough relocation of expressions from other languages, especially English, makes conceptual confusion in the Slovenian language.

How fine art depicts female body and how to cope with pleasure and unease of gaze in an object? In the 20th century there appeared two fundamental cuts: modernistic break with a closed, idealized, normatively framed body, and postmodernist transformation, which united female body into one image of an artist and artistic material. Based on the works of art by Marcel Duchamp, Carolee Schneemann, Egon Schiele, Rudolf Schwarzkoglerja and Tanja Ostojic the author marks, how the depiction of the female body gets complicated into cultural, political and psychoanalytic contexts. With explicit scenes of the body fine art sharpens its attitude to pornography, and in such a manner raises the question of truth and the limits of sight, visible and unrepresentative. The author has undertaken a challenging and provocative theme, which on the one hand affects the fundamental dimensions of the visual, in the history of art, its codes and taboos, which intersect with the representation of the genitals, into modernistic turn, which is connected with the new regime of visibility and sight.
