Feminist Vindications of the Fourth Wave: the Transnationalization of the Protest

Abstract

In recent decades, the fourth feminist wave has begun characterised by the transnationalisation of the movement through social networks as a means of protest. The aim of this article is to analyse the feminist discourses and strategies of the fourth wave through the digital space. To this end, a reflection will be made on the discourses issued in Spain and Latin America, focusing on two issues: the generation of a narrative community through hashtags on Twitter and the individual and collective artistic creation on Instagram and
YouTube. The digital space becomes evident as a public space of vindication, an articulation that generates three key issues for the feminist movement: feminist awareness, between the individual and the collective, narrative communities and the transnationalisation of protest.
