“Graus oinophoros”. The Phantasmagoria of Death – the Phantasmagoria of the Image

Summary/Abstract: Anus ebria is an image created out of anti-ideas, cliches that violate or distinctly undermine the cultural taboo, just as drunken women, sexual promiscuity or emancipation from the rule of traditionally established norms. As a comic and sneering ”discloser” of norms and principles it becomes one of the most characteristic signs of the ”eschatology of inebriation”. This is not so much an ”old female drunkard” as an ”old rebel”. In its visual and linguistic dimension she assumes the shape of a lascivious old drunk whose vulgar behaviour is a vivid reversal of the natural state of being.
