Exciting to share my new OA article in Third World Quarterly !

I use cyborg movidas -the collective embodiment of political manoeuvres influenced by emotions such as rage & love- to understand how feminist activists engage in protest as a technology of resistance

Latin American feminists have theorised the intersection betweenwomen’s bodies and the territories they inhabit via cuerpo-territorio.Adding a new layer of complexity, this article turns to the wayInstagram has become another space where women navigate thisrelationship. I use the August 2019 feminist protests against thegovernment and police in Mexico accompanied by the hashtags#NoMeCuidanMeViolan (they don’t take care of me, they rape me),#NoNosCuidanNosViolan (they don’t take care of us, they rape us),#MeCuidanMisAmigasNoLaPolicia (my friends take care of me notthe police) and #ExigirJusticiaNoEsProvocacion (demanding justiceis not a provocation) to show how women reclaim their bodies inboth material and virtual spaces. Based on Donna Haraway’s andChela Sandoval’s work I use the term cyborg movidas to examinehow Mexican feminist activists engaged in protest as a technologyof resistance. Cyborg movidas are the collective embodiment of polit-ical manoeuvres influenced by emotions such as rage and love,which defy rigid boundaries of human–non-human, digital–physical,body–space and individual–collective relations. Such movidas allowus to imagine activism as a collective possibility of socio-politicalchange
