The paper problematizes roles and positions of women artists and women consumers through the complex processes of spectacle. The question of women?s body is related to the questioning of the gender roles on the performative level, with the aim to emphasize existing paradigms (as sexuality, dimorphism, dominations and subordinations, phalogocentric spaces), but also to make complex constructive options in the sphere of popular music and subculture (ambivalence, equivalence, variable qualities, subject representationalism, subject intentionality). The most noticeable examples stem from rock and roll culture and rock scenes where feminist resistances to male hegemonies are created, especially in the zones of power of management and fabrication of women?s body.
