Full textWhat experiences do individual members have of the Swedish separatist Facebook group Heja Livet? We have conducted qualitative personal interviews from a feminist perspective and have come to the conclusion that the group is contributing with something meaningful. The personal is political and by reading other women’s stories, individual women can achieve a higher feminist consciousness which can contribute to feminist actions. Another finding is that the group can also function as a support in different matters for individual women in their everyday lives. We are presenting a theoretical result, we redefine the meaning of a higher feminist consciousness and argue that Heja Livet can be seen as a consciousness raising group. The fact that most of the interviewed did not share their own experiences in Heja Livet, threatens the construction of the group as a subaltern counterpublic that challenges dominant publics. The white middle class cis-woman is the norm in Heja Livet and we criticize it for not being a successful feminist project because of the lack of an intersectional perspective.

A presente pesquisa contemplou o estudo da Quarta Onda do Movimento Social Feminista, justificando-se diante das mudanças sociais provocadas pela tecnologia da informação na promoção e divulgação dos ideais que constituem essa faceta do Movimento. Enfocando a ação do feminismo na internet, especificamente abordou-se a coleta de dados num blog feminista. Como objetivo geral, pretendeu-se analisar a configuração do movimento feminista na especificidade do ativismo digital, suas proposições de discussão e pautas oportunizadas via ferramentas tecnológicas, especificamente a internet, no processo de disseminação da luta feminista pela ampliação de direitos. Optou-se por verificar um ano de postagens no blog Escreva Lola Escreva e selecionar, por mês, os posts com maior número de comentários para, posteriormente, fazer uma análise das temáticas discutidas. Essa escolha metodológica se pauta no fato dos posts mais comentados terem suscitado maior discussão e interesse. Não foi objetivo dessa pesquisa analisar o teor desses comentários. Eles serviram de critério para seleção do corpus. Diante dos resultados apontados pela análise de dados realizada no corpus documental, o que chama atenção é a interação dos(as) leitores(as) enquanto sujeitos ativos, e eventuais mudanças de opinião e modo de encarar a vida, a partir daquelas interações. Destaca-se como categoria recorrente a crítica ao patriarcado em diversas perspectivas. Isso reforça a ideia da percepção crítica do sistema opressor, centrado no homem. À luz da análise empírica e apoiando-se na literatura pode-se afirmar a existência da Quarta Onda do Movimento Feminista, caracterizado pelo ativismo digital. Por apresentar e oportunizar as discussões e pautas vivenciadas no âmbito social, atesta que os movimentos sociais digitais estão conquistando espaço e representatividade.
The present dissertation contemplated the study of the Fourth Wave of the Feminist Social Movement, justifying itself in the face of the social changes provoked by information technology in promoting and disseminating the ideals that constitute this facet of the Movement. Focusing on the action of feminism on the internet, specifically addressed the collection of data from a feminist blog. As a general objective, the aim was to analyze the configuration of the feminist movement in the specificity of digital activism, its proposals for discussion and timelines opportunized via technological tools, specifically the internet, in the process of dissemination of the feminist struggle for the expansion of rights. It was chosen to check one year of posting of the blog “Escreva Lola Escreva” and select, each month, the posts with the highest number of comments to later make an analysis of the topics discussed. This methodological choice is based on the fact that the most commented posts have generated greater discussion and interest. It was not the purpose of this research to analyze the comments. They served as criteria for corpus selection. Considering the results pointed out by data analysis performed without documentary corpus, what draws attention is an interaction of readers as active subjects and possible changes of opinion and ways of facing life, from those interactions. It is highlighted as a recurrent category the critique of patriarchy in several perspectives. It reinforces the idea of the critical perception of the oppressive system, centered in men. Considering the empirical analysis and based on the literature, one can affirm the existence of the Fourth Wave of the Feminist Movement, characterized by digital activism. By presenting and opportuning the discussions and guidelines experienced in the social sphere, it testifies that digital social movements are gaining space and representativeness.

"Man's Duty to Woman: Men and the First Wave of German Feminism, 1865-1919" charts the modernization of gender relationships in Imperial Germany through an exploration of German men's engagement with both organized feminism and the so-called "Woman Question." An examination of German men's contributions (as well as challenges) to feminist newspapers, women's suffrage societies, women's educational and vocational organizations, and the discourse of expanding women's civil and political rights illuminates not only the ways in which German men helped shape the "first wave" of German feminism, but also the process by which German men were, in turn, shaped by feminism and women's breach of a male-defined public sphere during the second wave of the Industrial Revolution. While Germany is better known for its misogynistic intellectual legacy of thinkers like Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as the maxim of "Kinder, Küche, und Kirche" (children, kitchen, and church) used to describe the so-called "women's sphere," my dissertation demonstrates that the cause of German women's rights enjoyed a broad base of male support during the Imperial era and that women's reforms were pivotal to progressive liberal, socialist, and conservative social policies. My examination of male allies, therefore, counterbalances and critiques the longstanding view of Imperial German society and German men as fundamentally hostile to women's rights. Male allies of German feminism, I contend, were motivated by a twin mission to genuinely improve the lives of and opportunities for women in the industrial economy, and to utilize feminine energies--both spiritual and biological--for their own ideological designs. While these male allies retained some degree of principled commitment to expanding women's opportunities in Germany society over time, they were opportunistic men, as well, who sought to harness and direct the power of the "eternal feminine," a power which the moderate female-led feminist movement celebrated and deployed in their own work. My dissertation also considers the ways in which German men reconciled their own masculine identity with their support of reforms that ultimately undermined male hegemony. In the late 1870s, after female leaders took the helm of women's educational and vocational associations and began to embrace the rhetoric of maternalist feminism, men committed to women's reforms were forced to carve out new forms of pro-woman and feminist advocacy within, or alongside of, woman-led feminist organizations. As a result, male allies of German feminism developed a variety of masculinities. Although a few feminist men like Karl Heinzen, Georg von Gyzicki, and Hanns Dorn advocated a gentler, egalitarian masculinity that rejected most aspects of traditional masculinity, the majority of male friends of first wave feminism embodied a hyper-masculinity to balance their commitment to increasing women's social, economic, and (in some cases) political power. The act of becoming a "modern German man" in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century necessarily entailed figuring out how to retain one's manliness and maintain refuges of male authority in a world in which women were becoming ever more powerful and visible. Male allies of German feminism represent an essential case study in this project of modernizing masculinity

The last decade has seen a pronounced increase in feminist activism and sentiment in the public sphere, which scholars, activists, and journalists have dubbed the “fourth wave” of feminism. A key feature of the fourth wave is the use of digital technologies and the internet for feminist activism and discussion. This dissertation aims to broadly understand what is “new” about fourth wave feminism and specifically to understand how social media intersect with everyday feminist practices in the digital era. This project is made up of three case studies –Bumble the “feminist” dating app, private Facebook groups for women professionals, and the #MeToo movement on Twitter— and uses an affordance theory lens, examining the possibilities for (and constraints of) use embedded in the materiality of each digital platform. Through in-depth interviews and focus groups with users, alongside a structural discourse analysis of each platform, the findings show how social media are used strategically as tools for feminist purposes during mundane online activities such as dating and connecting with colleagues. Overall, this research highlights the feminist potential of everyday social media use, while considering the limits of digital technologies for everyday feminism. This work also reasserts the continued need for feminist activism in the fourth wave, by showing that the material realities of gender inequality persist, often obscured by an illusion of empowerment.
