Flo6x8: feminist interventions for occupation and resistance

Abstract

The article explores the projection of anticapitalist flamenco collective taking into account the reception of their actions as audiovisual devices on social networks.In particular, the work explores the impact of the last of their viral actions in the context of the feminist demonstration for International Women's Day (2018) in Seville through a qualitative analysis of the comments and reproductions on social networks.  The results show that the audiovisual devices act as symbolic units that end up generating rich communicative content that feeds back into public discourse. When actions are shared, they refer to specific events in public and political life and, in turn, tell something about us, they imply a positioning that reflects values and identities. Social networks are perceived as horizontal and free spaces, but the use of visualizations ends up making an interpretative framework that leads to polarization and reverts to appropriation. It is necessary to understand that projection into the public sphere has an associated instrumentalization of civic participation that, beyond collective organization, can generate empowering models of action. The article concludes that feminism needs to generate new interdisciplinary forms that include the dynamics for virtual studies; an object in permanent construction.
