Elas merecem ser lembradas: feminismo, emoções e memória em rede

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the intersections between feminism, memory and emotions in the virtual space of the internet. The methodology consists in analyzing the pages of Aurélia and Let's Celebrate Women projects, who are dedicated to building an online women's collective memory, gathering stories of inspiring women, from past and present. The intention is to discuss the uses of memory by social movements in their identity constitutions and their struggles for recognition, identifying relations present among contemporary feminisms and the Internet. Based on a discussion of the concept of memory, we investigate also the relationships between these initiatives and the growth of a culture of remembering in the contemporaneity. In the relationship between the practices of remembering and emotions, the right to memory is established as a primary demand of women in their new forms of militancy.

Movement narration is thus constructed and transmitted through time (Benford, 2002;Daphi, 2017); social movements articulate their demands by drawing a collective past into present time (Florini, 2016;Leal, 2017).…”

A pesquisa brasileira sobre ativismo político online

“…Como exemplo, temos o texto "Elas merecem ser lembradas: feminismo, emoções e memória em rede", de TatianeLeal (2017), que possui como objetivo analisar páginas inspiradas em mulheres feministas, "dedicadas à construir uma memória coletiva feminista online, reunindo histórias de mulheres inspiradoras do passado e presente. "8 Como exemplo, o artigo "Manifestações de rua no Brasil 2013: encontros e desencontros na política", de Ilse Scherer-Warren (2014a), que buscou entender como as manifestações de rua de 2013 se diferenciam, organizacional e politicamente, de outras grandes mobilizações sociais do século XX.…”
