Queera kroppar i höga klackar - En analys av High Heel Sisters performanceverk The Last Straw

Abstract

This study will analyze and interpret the performance art piece The Last Straw created by the artist group High Heel Sisters. The aim is to search for potential feminist strategies in their deconstructive ways of incarnating gender and bodies using the notion of performativity and phenomenological theories. My study shows that the diversity of this art performance creates a complex platform were discussions about gendered corporeality and spatial power relations are being negotiated.
