Timeless struggle over the feminist paradigm: Representing dynamics of gender identity construction in portraiture then and now.

Description

A difficulty to understanding feminism is connected to the fact that the ideology informing feminist framings has shifted over time, creating apparently distinctive waves. If we acknowledge the preceding waves of feminism are built from earlier women’s accomplishments and activism-inspired action, we can better understand feminist discourse today.

This paper illustrates dynamics of weaveless feminism through art representation, reflecting on the persistence of feminism, and attending to different ways women are coping with socio-economic challenges. We attend the uses of autobiography in creative practice, exploring an array of diverse subjective positions represented in the selected artworks.
