Publisher's Synopsis
This master's thesis describes the development of a collection of multimedia works that deal with the relationship between the feminine and the monstrous. It sets out to confront a conventional point of view that defines the feminine as strange and contrary to the established norm, which is masculine by definition. Based on research into the works of researchers in art, history, cinema and literature, namely Bram Dijkstra, Silvia Federici and Barbara Creed, the work presents the usual representation of the feminine as something grotesque and monstrous, and questions its unfolding.
