One of the conditions for misogynic genders to be settled in society consists on the
existence of a compulsive dominant and universal heterosexual cultural production, which
establishes clearly differentiated representation principles of both sexes. These representation
principles tend to favour more the man, disregarding the woman. We consider that culture
production gives origin to reproduction processes, which means that, in practical terms, the
representation of signs, codes, values, and behaviors associated to the sexes are potentially
materialized in societies by both men and women. This has been one battle that several women
have embraced after the second wave of the feminist movement, namely by the most radical
wing. In this battle it tries to claim for new paradigms regarding gender cultural conventions.
In this study we propose to analyze some of the campaigns developed by Nikki Craft, a radical
North-American feminist who, in the 70s and 80s, would organize and/or lead several protests in
public spaces in some cities around the United States. This analysis intends to clarify the motivations
and strategies taken by this feminist, whose activisms aimed at several cultural structures (the art
world, beauty institutions, and the pornographic industry) that legitimate representations harmful
to women. |
