“…Most studies that link feminism and social movements with communication have focused on the relationship between these organizations and mainstream media, and their practices of bias and invisibility (Pineda et al 2020;Cerqueira et al 2023). Others have explored the use of social media by social movements and feminist collectives as a space for positioning, resistance, and interactivity (Idoiaga Mondragon et al 2022;Fernádez-Romero and Sánchez-Duarte 2019;Reverter and Medina-Vicent 2022). However, we observe a gap in studies that explore how the movements themselves articulate internal communication and communicate with their audiences, whether at the institutional or digital level while recognizing and acting directly for their public.…”

Despite the considerable attention given to how mainstream media portrays feminism and social movements, there remains a notable research gap regarding the exploration of how these movements themselves engage in internal articulation and employ communication strategies to connect with their publics. To examine communications practices of cyberfeminists within the fourth wave of feminism and the 8M movement (feminist strike), this study analyzes the communication platforms utilized by Rede 8 de Março, which mobilizes the strike in Portugal in three dimensions: (1) institutional and internal communication; (2) content production for online dissemination on digital platforms; and (3) mobilization strategies and action repertoires. Specifically, we focus on the years 2020 and 2021, considering the pandemic context, using a combination of netnography and semi-structured interviews with organizing activists. Our findings indicate a significant rise in Instagram’s platform utilization and exploration, concomitant with the establishment of WhatsApp as a central tool for both organizational and internal communication. These observations enhance our scholarly grasp of the intricate communication dynamics inherent in these organizational contexts and feminist movements, thereby offering significant contributions to our understanding of its operational mechanisms.

“…In other words, if internet mobilization is unable to overcome the limitations of individual digital actions, the feminist movement runs the risk of being absorbed by neoliberalism. People investigate two dimensions of digital feminism: individual neoliberalism and street action [7]. Compared with the more artistic film and television literature works, the remarks in the user-generated media more truly reflect the gender relations in the real social life.…”

Based on the growing number of feminists and the rise of various media, this paper studies the reports and speeches about feminism in traditional media and new we-media, and explores how people use language to express and share feminist views. In a traditional medium, this paper presents the existence of gender stereotypes in language and examines how gender stereotypes are transmitted and reinforced in language, including gender biases expressed through vocabulary, phrases, and grammatical structures, by analyzing a large number of news reports from the year and year after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. After the development of the new we media, feminism has also been developing rapidly. Feminists can express their ideas on the Internet to gain more support. Their use of words to voice feminism will also cause a series of problems. Female language is also ubiquitous in the media. This paper studies the language performance of female characters in TV, film, social media and other media to assess whether this reflects gender relations in the real world.

Resumen: La relevancia lograda por el Día Internacional de la Mujer se ha evidenciado en el interés y la oposición de los partidos de derechas. Todos los partidos políticos españoles se han ubicado de una manera u otra en torno a este evento. En este artículo analizaremos las respuestas de los tres partidos nacionales mayoritarios de la derecha española ante el 8M, el tipo de feminismo o antifeminismo que proponen, su repertorio de acción y su concepción de las mujeres, a través del análisis crítico del discurso y la etnografía digital. Demostraremos la gradualidad, pluralidad y divergencia dentro del espectro derechista respecto a los feminismos y antifeminismos en el marco de una renovación promovida por los nuevos partidos políticos y el movimiento feminista en los últimos tiempos.
