Abstract

If hair has been historically understood as a determinant quality of femininity, what happens when it is used as raw material to subvert the norm? From a feminist and intersectional point of view, this paper investigates the aesthetic discursivities that the use of hair in contemporary artistic proposals unleashes. During the analysis we will try to dive into the possible enunciations that hair has as a poetic resource, thus accounting for the political character embodied by this bodily vestige. Three Latin American works are taken for this purpose: the performances Bombril by Priscila Razende (2018) and Extensión by Regina Galindo (2018), and the artist’s book Corpus II by Jessica Sandoval (2021).
