Traversing bodies and territories: Feminist Activism Against Digital Violence
This article analyzes how feminist collectives approach the internet as a feminist territory to defend it from violence. Feminist media studies have recently focused on bodies as sites of oppression and resistance in our digital society. In this article, however, I contend that violence is not limited to bodies; it extends to the territories that these bodies occupy. I demonstrate the importance of territory as a political place of feminist enunc…
La Miniatura Épica en El L.II De La Rusticatio Mexicana
En el vasto panorama de la literatura neolatina la poesía épica y la poesía didáctica ocupan el sitial más destacado dentro de la jerarquía de los géneros poéticos. En términos generales, comparten una serie de rasgos comunes tales como el mismo metro, la división en cantos, elaboradas comparaciones, largos pasajes descriptivos y narrativos. La Rusticatio Mexicana del jesuita novohispano Rafael Landívar, publicada en Bolonia en 1782, es un poema …
Digital Violence as Affective Disciplining after Feminist Protests: The Case of #NotLikeThatLadies
Provoking Taste: Experimenting with New Ways of Sensing
A man sits at a table in a museum and tastes something he has never seen before. He is not sure what it is, but he is prompted to taste orange-red jelly-like cubes—and to do so as if it were an honor to eat such a thing. He hesitates, he looks at it, then, he closes his eyes and slowly takes a bite. He writes down some notes. He takes another bite. He reads along in a document, where he is told to taste again, but this time as if he were ashamed.…

Sensing Collectives, an Introduction
Feminist Strategies Against Digital Violence: Embodying and Politicizing the Internet
This article aims to analyze feminist strategies against digital violence and their relation to performative forms of social justice. Based on new feminist materialisms (Coole & Frost, 2010; Souza, 2019), the article shows how female bodies are at the crossroads in our digital society. On the one hand, they are a target of digital violence because of their political activities, while on the other hand feminist protesters are opening new political…
Sensing Collectives: Aesthetic and Political Practices Intertwined
Are aesthetics and politics really two different things? The book takes a new look at how they intertwine, by turning from theory to practice. Case studies trace how sensory experiences are created and how collective interests are shaped. They investigate how aesthetics and politics are entangled, both in building and disrupting collective orders, in governance and innovation. This ranges from populist rallies and artistic activism over alternati…
Feminist struggles against criminalization of digital violence: Lessons for Internet governance from the global south
Why have feminists in Mexico been arguing with women's groups and against the state over the criminalization of digital violence, and what do these struggles mean for its governance? This article analyzes the social struggles surrounding passage of the Olimpia Law of 2019, which criminalizes digital violence in Mexico. Although criminalization of digital violence as a means of governing online behavior has recently attracted much attention global…

Terrestrial politics and body-territory: Two concepts to make sense of digital colonialism in Latin America
Researchers have argued that data colonialism is paving the way for a new stage of capitalism, defined as the result of the appropriation and trade of “datafied” human experience (Couldry and Mejias 2019). While we agree that data colonialism normalizes the exploitation of human beings through data, we also contend that the analysis of the materiality of this exploitation should be extended to both bodies and territories. There is a research gap …
Toxic Social Media: Affective Polarization After Feminist Protests
The objective of this article is to conceptualize affective polarization beyond partisan politics to instead analyze the ways in which women's affective political participation is subject to toxic discipline. While a lot of focus has been placed on affective politics as mechanisms for governance, little has been done regarding affective polarization after feminist protest. In this article, we bridge two bodies of literature-affective politics and…
Drone affective politics against state impunity: The case of 43 disappeared students in Ayotzinapa, Mexico
This article analyzes some implications of new drone aesthetics involved in affective politics against state impunity in social conflicts. Whereas the literature on media, war and conflict has been centered around the war aesthetics of military drones, the author argues that civilian drones can mobilize affective politics – expressed, for example, in the aestheticization of shame, rage and the subversion of fear – as a means of political communic…
El espacio del furtivus amor em el discurso amoroso de Catulo
Este trabalho sintetiza as conclusões parciais de um estudo mais abrangente sobre "O imaginário feminino na literatura latina: fim da república e principado de Augusto", focalizado pelo grupo de pesquisa dentro do contexto institucional da Universidade de Buenos Aires (UBACYT). Partindo do corpus dos poemas II a XI de Catulo, analisa-se a inter-relação existente entre o vínculo amoroso e o espaço, com especial interesse no tipo de construção dos …
