Mujeres en el activismo político. Resonancias biográficas del movimiento del 68

Abstract

<p><strong></strong>En este artículo se reconstruyen historias de vida de dos activistas que se iniciaron en los movimientos sociales, como uno de los efectos del movimiento estudiantil de 1968. A través de la utilización de las categorías: resonancias históricas y biográficas del activismo, como unidades de análisis, establecemos un proceso de comparación de historias de vida con perspectiva de género. Destacamos la noción de disponibilidad personal (<em>personal availability</em>) propuesta por McAdam (1988), por medio de la definición de etapas históricas, derivadas de las principales luchas sociales del país, donde las activistas participaron, se formaron como líderes y cuadros políticos intermedios, influyendo en sus organizaciones y los movimientos donde participaron. Las resonancias biográficas de su activismo les permitieron reclutar a otros(as) participantes, influir en sus visiones del mundo, inspirar nuevas estrategias de resistencia y contribuir al impacto de otros(as) activistas en su lucha.</p><p> </p>

Life-Course Effects of Women’s Political Activism: Public and Private Trajectories From Anti-Francoism to the 15-M in Spain

“…The findings of this study coincide with other authors that have demonstrated that "intensive political participation during the formative years fosters lifelong engagement" (Jennings 2002: 322), as the initial experience of building a collective identity marks a long track record of activism (Whittier 1997). Specifically, this study has confirmed the conclusions of prior research on the long-term persistence of ideals and sociopolitical engagement (Braungart and Braungart 1991;Bonfiglioli 2014;Giugni and Grasso 2016;Olivier and Tamayo 2017). Furthermore, unlike other research on activists who are nowadays defined as nonpartisan (Olivier and Tamayo 2017), our interviewees have maintained, albeit discontinuously, their links with political parties.…”

“…Many follow-up studies of political generations have focused on the profoundly committed activists from the 1960s in the U.S. (Dunham and Bengtson 1992;Franz and McClelland 1994;McAdam 1988McAdam , 1992, and have tended to highlight the enduring impact that political participation has had on the activists' lives. This same conclusion has usually been reached when researching the generation of the long 1960s in other countries, such as Mexico (Olivier and Tamayo 2017) and France (Fillieule 2018;Pagis 2011), and even in studies performed on more recent groups of activists or those with lower levels of commitment (Giugni and Grasso 2016;McAdam 1999;Sherkat and Blocker 1997;Terriquez 2015).…”

“…Although some studies have analyzed the differences between men and women, there are few that have done so from a gender perspective, focusing on the effects of political action on women's personal trajectories (Chen 2019;McAdam 1992;Olivier and Tamayo 2017;Whittier 1995). Some studies highlight the relevance of emancipatory and sanctioning processes.…”

“…Although studies have also been performed in other contexts and on other cohorts and forms of activism (Fillieule 2018a;Giugni and Grasso 2016;McAdam 1999;Sherkat and Blocker 1997), most of the research on the biographical outcomes of activism and political participation has focused on the highly committed activism of the New Left in the United States during the long 1960s (Braungart and Braungart 1991;Corrigall-Brown 2012;Fendrich 1993;McAdam 1989). Moreover, there is still little research on biographical effects from a gender perspective or on the idiosyncrasies of women activists (Cole, Zucker, and Ostrove 1998;McAdam 1992;Olivier and Tamayo 2017).…”

“…La resonancia histórica entendida como la presencia y articulación de eventos sociales e históricos en el tiempo (Olivier & Tamayo, 2017). 3 La resonancia biográfica se refiere a las repercusiones personales en las experiencias de los sujetos en su interrelación con los procesos sociales e históricos (Olivier & Tamayo, 2017). …”
