Feminizm, eril bir toplumda kadının, eşit hak ve özgürlüklere sahip olma gerekçelerine dayalı bir mücadele alanı olarak tanımlanabilir. Feminizmin, kamusal ve özel alanda kadın ayrımcılığına karşı başkaldırısı, insanın kendi emeğine ve kendi bedenine olan yabancılaşmasının bir sonucudur. Bu bakımdan feminizm, tüm tarihi boyunca toplumsal, felsefi, cinsel ve psikanalitik yabancılaşma kavramlarıyla yakın ilgi içinde olmuştur.
Feminist sanat pratikleri; feminist kuramlar, toplumsal dinamikler, teknoloji, kültür kuramı, sanat nesnesinin ve estetik değerlerin büyük ölçüde dönüşümüne koşut bir temsil anlayışı geliştirmiştir. Bu temsil, feminist sanat pratiklerinde en çok cinsiyet ve beden üzerinden gelişme göstermiştir. Moderniteyle birlikte uygarlaşarak bireyselliğini yitiren ve bu ölçüde bir iktidar alanına dönüşen beden, hak ve özgürlüklerin de yeni mücadele arenası olmuştur. Feminist sanatçılar da kendi bedenlerini tekrar ele geçirip sanatın estetik değerlerine yabancılaştırma stratejileri ile meydan okumuşlardır. Bu araştırmada feminist sanat pratikleri yabancılaşma stratejileri kapsamında incelenmiştir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Feminist sanat, beden, yabancılaşma.
Body and Alienation in Feminist Art

Feminism can be defined as women struggle area for justifying equal rights and freedom in male dominant society. Uprising of feminism against woman discrimination in public and private areas is inevitable result of alienation to their labor and body. Therefore, feminism has been in interest of social, philosophical, sexual and psychoanalytic alienation conceptions in history.
Feminist art practices have improved representation understanding for transformation of art object and aesthetic values parallel to social dynamics, technology, culture theory and semiotic studies. In feminist art practices, this transformation has shown development mostly on sexuality and body. The body has been new struggle arena for right and freedom by losing its individuality, consequently transforming to power area through its civilization with Modernity. Feminist artists challenged to aesthetic values of art, and replied by alienation strategies as retaking their bodies. In this study, feminist art practices have been studied.
