Feminist photographic practice, another discourse

Abstract

The text analyzes feminist photography as a tool for resistance and social transformation within the context of patriarchy. Drawing from the theoretical perspectives of authors such as Pierre Bourdieu, Nancy Fraser, Bolívar Echeverría, and Jesús Martín Barbero, among others, it examines how photographic images can challenge or change the symbolic structures that perpetuate gender inequality. Photography is not only documents the feminist struggle, but also it constructs new visual narratives that question traditional representations of women and make visible the multiple forms of violence they face. In this sense, the image becomes a space for political expression and it is a medium for social justice; it is an aesthetic and political strategy that amplifies women’s voices, enables the denunciation of injustices, and contributes to building a more equitable society.
