This article proposes the survey and analysis of the practice of found footage in the work of women filmmakers and artists. We draw found footage studies closer to gender studies through the idea of resignification as seen in the work of Judith Butler, for whom gender identities are socially constructed through the repetition of dominant collective identities, and can also be resignified through such repetition. By transposing the idea of resignification to the audiovisual field, we aim to reflect on how the repetition of images in new contexts can challenge their original meaning. From this hypothesis, we propose a set of resignification strategies seen as regularly employed in this production: repetition, compilation, conflict, continuity, and materiality.
