Abstract:Este artículo analiza el ciclo de protestas de las multitudes conectadas feministas mexicanas entre marzo de 2019 a marzo de 2020. Este periodo marcado por una creciente conflictividad transgresora inicia con la intensa campaña del #MeToo entre marzo y abril de 2019 y culmina con la marcha del 8 de marzo de 2020 y el Paro de Mujeres. El movimiento feminista se radicaliza con la aparición de repertorios de acción directa y se convierte en un actor colectivo de gran relevancia en el país, con un poder disruptivo… Show more
“…These can also allow members to share doubts and advice about sex work, and chats on sex work and the pandemic multiply. A network of resistance is being woven from below, as a feminist strategy (Rovira, 2017). In Meraki's words: We are very close.…”
This article explores how the labour practices of sex workers in Mexico City have been affected by Covid‐19. More specifically, it analyses (a) how the pandemic increases the stigmatisation of sex workers; (b) the causes that prompted Mexican sex workers to resort to erotic online platforms; (c) the advantages and disadvantages of online sex work; (d) the forms of mutual support sex workers in Mexico City offer each other in order to familiarise themselves with this new modality of work. Thus, this study provides the basis for analysis of sex work, stigma and desire in the context of Covid‐19 in Mexico.

Con base en dos investigaciones internacionales que pretendían analizar críticamente las políticas universitarias frente a las Violencias Sexuales y de Género (VSdG), contrastadas a su vez con experiencias de diferentes perfiles universitarios en busca de posibles buenas prácticas, este artículo se ciñe al caso mexicano, para el cual se hizo un análisis de contenido de 10 protocolos de intervención, cuatro entrevistas individuales a personas clave en la conformación de los protocolos, así como tres grupos de discusión con estudiantes sobrevivientes de VSdG. El diálogo entre lo que proponen los protocolos y las experiencias de expertas y sobrevivientes revela la necesidad no sólo de visibilizar estas violencias, sino de buscar soluciones que asuman una perspectiva de género interseccional y compleja.
The aim of this article is to characterize the main hashtags of Mexican feminist activism as part of the Latin American connected crowds, on the basis of a review of the most popular trends between 2016 and 2021 on Twitter. A total of 50 hashtags have been selected that, due to their repeated use, are characterized as femitags, that is, performative meta-discursive identifiers that mainly do three things: disseminate and tune in to frames of protest; extend women’s voices and slogans; and mobilize synchronic, diachronic, and transnational repertoires of collective action. These femitags appear in situated contexts, usually around events such as new cases of violence against women and calls to take to the streets, but with their extension, they become meta-communicative labels that articulate different activist practices. This study reveals not only their functions, but also their role as articulators of networked mobilizations, demonstrating the profound online and real-life intertwining of the fourth wave of Mexican, Latin American, and Spanish-speaking feminism.
