%0 Journal Article %T Self portrait on both sides of Cartesian gap %A Dra£¿ki£¿-Vi£¿anovi£¿ Iva %J Theoria, Beograd %D 2011 %I Serbian Philosophical Society, Belgrade %R 10.2298/theo1103087d %X The article presents an analysis of philosophical importance of the self-portrait, an artefact which has been treated as an ego - document par excellence, document of selfawareness. The self-portrait is a product of specific artificial process that means selfpresentation, self-creation and self-investigation in the same time. That process is a way of visual self-identification and self-constitution and that kind of creation forces an author, subject of visualization, to try to stand on both sides of the Cartesian gap - being to himself both subject and object in the same time. %K Self-portrait %K artefact %K identity %K self %K visualization %K Cartesian gap %K philosophy %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0351-2274/2011/0351-22741103087D.pdf
