Abstract
The critic of the absence of women in the social and artistic context in the age of the patriarchal discourse domination, decolonization and inscription of power on the female body, the positioning of woman as speaking discursive subject and claim gender of woman, were some of the cardinal points of the political struggle within the first generation of feminist artists in the 70s. In that context, the American artist Hannah Wilke (1940-1993), aware of this essential dynamics imposed by phallocracy of the age, used eroticism and irony to articulate her artistic discourse and reaffirm the self. Echoing this, our research will fluctuate between two ideas: an erotic overflow and an overflow of the eroticism. Both issues, the excess as an erotic form, and the overwhelmed eroticism as a conventional female culturally configured form, will be the focus of our essay which will put attention on the oeuvre of Hannah Wilke.
