The desire to shock and disturb the audience places these artists in a position where they have to challenge established values, such as religious and identity ones. There are many examples of male punk bands that openly rebel against organized religion, but the critique of these bands is direct, whereas women use eroticism to expose the patriarchal strategies of the church, as well as to project an image of themselves that breaks all expectations.

El deseo de epatar y desconcertar al público sitúa a estas artistas en una posición en la que pretenden cuestionar valores establecidos, principalmente religiosos e identitarios. Existen numerosos ejemplos de grupos de punk masculinos que se rebelan abiertamente contra la religión organizada; sin embargo, la crítica que hacen estas bandas es directa, mientras que las mujeres utilizan el erotismo para exponer las estrategias patriarcales de la Iglesia, así como para proyectar una imagen de ellas mismas que rompe las expectativas del público. La iconografía religiosa se convierte de este modo en una herramienta para la reevaluación irónica y la destrucción de estructuras culturales de género, como parte de su programa artístico. 22017-01-0120172017-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/182234https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.1344/Lectora2017.23.4reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
