“Punk Women and Riot Grrls”
I shall be short and to the point: I want to defend the political importance of the Pussy Riot project, stressing the notion of the political in the mode of socio-cultural activism. I shall do so by highlighting two aspects of this project that for me pertain to a long and distinguished tradition of feminist politics: one is visualand the other musicaland although they of course intersect and interact, I want to deal with each separately.
