Abstract

Since the 1960s, performance has been one of the leading practices of feminist artists. This photo essay introduces our performance entitled (2020–22). It denounces the cultural and symbolic violence suffered by women in academic environments through the legitimization and dissemination of gender-biased scientific and literary publications. The performance took place in 26 libraries at three public universities in the Autonomous Community of Valencia (Spain), namely ten libraries at the University of Valencia (UV), five at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), and eleven libraries at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH). Within the context analysed, we conclude that the weight of academic thought is decidedly masculine.
