Feminist Critiques in the Arts: Reclaiming Narratives and Representation

Abstract

This article examines the role of feminist critiques in reshaping narratives and representations within the arts. Drawing upon feminist theory and critical discourse analysis, it explores how feminist perspectives challenge traditional power structures and advocate for the inclusion and empowerment of marginalized voices. Through analyzing various forms of artistic expression including literature, visual arts, performance, and film, this study illustrates the ways in which feminist critiques contribute to the deconstruction of patriarchal norms and promote diverse and inclusive representations. By reclaiming agency over their narratives, artists and activists alike strive to foster a more equitable and just society.
