Abstract

New Spaces of Exploring Female Subjectness in Art: Generations and Geographies is a text that deals with the questions of a possibility of new perspectives on gendered body, gendered subject, female bodies and femaleness, invoking the opening of new fields of space in a context of feminist and postfeminist interventions in art. As Julija Kristeva and Griselda Pollock have already suggested, we need to explore the theoretical and intervening methods of reconceptualization, reinterpretation and resignification, since a revolution of any kind in its main sense would not bring anything new and transgressive into the linear, chronological principles of phallogocentric discourse. This paper brings out the questions of écriture féminine, a women’s writing, a possibility of inscription of a female body in the field of art, mapping the new spaces for generations and geographies to come.
