Latin American feminists have theorised the intersection between women's bodies and the territories they inhabit via cuerpo-territorio. Adding a new layer of complexity, this article turns to the way Instagram has become another space where women navigate this relationship. I use the August 2019 fem...

Adding a new layer of complexity, this article turns to the way Instagram has become another space where women navigate this relationship. I use the August 2019 feminist protests against the government and police in Mexico accompanied by the hashtags #NoMeCuidanMeViolan (they don't take care of me, they rape me), #NoNosCuidanNosViolan (they don't take care of us, they rape us), #MeCuidanMisAmigasNoLaPolicia (my friends take care of me not the police) and #ExigirJusticiaNoEsProvocacion (demanding justice is not a provocation) to show how women reclaim their bodies in both material and virtual spaces. Based on Donna Haraway's and Chela Sandoval's work I use the term cyborg movidas to examine how Mexican feminist activists engaged in protest as a technology of resistance. Cyborg movidas are the collective embodiment of political manoeuvres influenced by emotions such as rage and love, which defy rigid boundaries of human–non-human, digital–physical, body–space and individual–collective relations. Such movidas allow us to imagine activism as a collective possibility of socio-political change. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
