Abstract
El trabajo que desarrolló la fotógrafa catalana Colita (Barcelona,
1940) durante la década de los setenta fue aliado del movimiento
feminista que se recompuso en el Estado español tras la
muerte de Franco. En este artículo estudiaremos sus prácticas
fotográficas al respecto, aquellas que visibilizaron las demandas
más importantes del feminismo español del momento: su trabajo
para la revista Vindicación feminista (1976- 1979 y el fotolibro
Antifémina (Editora Nacional, 1977), que hizo en colaboración
con María Aurèlia Capmany. En segundo lugar atenderemos a la
fotografía erótica que también desarrolló Colita durante estos
años, una producción más problemática a la luz de las propuestas
feministas del momento. Por un lado estas politizaron el placer
sexual pero por otro se manifestaron en contra de las imágenes
del “destape”, por cosificar el cuerpo desnudo de las mujeres.
Sin embargo, este trabajo permite una lectura queer o al menos
presenta una estructura disidente con el deseo o la mirada
heterosexual.
Abstract: The work that the Catalan photographer Colita (Barcelona, 1940) did during the seventies was allied to the feminist movement, resurgent in Spain after Franco’s death. Her photographic practices, those that made visible the most important needs of Spanish feminism during that time, will be studied in this article: her work for the journal Vindicación feminista (1976 and 1979) and the photobook Antifémina (Editora Nacional, 1977), made in collaboration with María Aurèlia Capmany. Colita’s erotic photography of these years will also be examined —a much more problematic production in connection with the feminist proposals of this time. On the one hand, feminists politicized sexual pleasure but, on the other, they railed against “destape” images, because this trend objectified the nude female body. Nevertheless, Colita’s erotic work allows a queer reading or at least presents an alternative framework to heterosexual desire and the gaze.
