Abstract

AZNAR, Sagrario. Desde los feminismos: Patty Chang. Mora (B. Aires) [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.1. ISSN 1853-001X.

The aim of this article is to analyse the work of chinese american artist Patty Chang who studies different constructions of identity raised by the Occident in its dialogue with the Orient in her productions. Through the analysis of different biographical elements, "sedimentations" derived from the language are discussed. Also, Chang's pieces of work reflect the contradictions of white feminism, heterosexual and bourgeois, that has left aside individuals who cannot adapt to a norm. This is the case of women immigrants who are marked by significant frictions between their own traditions and the absortion the culture that receives them.
