- Summary:
- This book explores the artistic manifestations of four feminist activists and multimedia artists: Ana Victoria Jiménez (Mexico City, 1941), Rosa Martha Fernández (Mexico City, 1942), Pola Weiss (Mexico City, 1947-1990) and Mónica Mayer (Mexico City, 1954), who challenged the structures of power and knowledge and whose practices opened avenues of expression to different forms of political subjectivity. Hence, their works created a new genre of archives (both in content and form), from which alternative histories were to emerge, and also appealed to the new and changing media and visual regimes, in which normative representations of the female body - both in aesthetic and formal political terms - were being challenged. The author uses the expression "media and visual regimes" to highlight the fact that politics not only interferes in institutions, but also in the complex and constitutive field of power relations in everyday life and, more importantly, in how the media (understood in a broad sense) and the way we see, how we see it and what is allowed to be seen (visuality), intervene strategically in the production and manifestation of these power relations and in the generation of knowledge. The films, photographs, videos, exhibitions and performances these women produced not only gave rise to new discourses and visual representations of the female body, but also to new ways of seeing and examining it through different media, including the urban environment.
