Illari Diez, Juan Bossio

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter addresses how sisterhood, a common practice of feminist groups, is developed and shaped on social media. It examines the Latin American diversity reflected in the multiple views of feminism from a sociotechnical, collective action, and social network perspective. Sisterhood practices in social media are discussed using the lenses of intersectionality and power. The chapter also delves into the benefits and tensions surrounding this practice, as well as the mechanisms that allow for the establishment of sisterhood.
