Abstract

Taking as starting point the problematic distinction between “old” and “new” feminisms, the article defends the necessity to avoid this categorization and upholds the need to create new discourses in which the body is another factor to consider for giving meaning to women’s identity and subjectivity, since it was through it that some women were able to transgress the norms of their times and to redefine thus their own identity. In this respect, the article describes some forms of rebellion related to performativity, for example, tattooing or the figure of the flâneur, among others.
