Esos raros peinados nuevos: Punks mexicanos, vidas ociosas y precariedad feminizada

Abstract

In the following we seek to consider the ways in which the cultural representations about punk lives in Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl represent an inquiry around female precariousness that refers to economically superfluous stocks, unproductive jobs and garbage jobs closer to the universe of anonymous and imperceptible lives. And that marking supposes a potentiality in relation to the feminine condition and gendered in juxtaposition to the condition of workers. Punks are fundamentally lazy, indifferent and apathetic towards labor relations, hence work is that absent sign that makes it work and becomes an explanatory principle.The series of cultural materials in question examines the filmic work of Sarah Minter in her first video art films that are Nadie es inocente (1987) and Alma Punk (1992) crossing different analyzes from of the wandering becoming of its protagonists.
