Social semiotics, visual studies, Punk aesthetics, Critical discourse analysis, feminism, street discourseAbstract
The multimodal analysis presented here belongs to the critical discourse studies, as well as visual studies, with a feminist perspective and punk visualities. The approach to feminist visual discourses of the street from these perspectives allows us to highlight their deep sense of politicization of the unsaid around the discomforts and experiences of women in social and private life. Through 'paste', stickers, blankets, banners or graffiti, women's voices deinvisibilize violence, the discussion on social interruption of pregnancy and the creation of networks of sisterhoo; others are challenged through the bringing to public space what power tries to silence.Downloads
