Keywords:
4th wave of feminism, sisterhood, circle of women, Cuarta ola del feminismo, sororidad, círculo de mujeresAbstract
This article aims at contributing to the discussion on sisterhood in the theoretical framework of the feminist debate. In particular, it advances the discussion on sisterhood with respect to the three waves of feminism, by providing a description of the new approach to sisterhood framed by the categories of the fourth wave of feminism. Drawing on an empirical qualitative study on the circles of women (CW) in Poland, this research explores the changing quality of sisterhood by investigating women’s mutual relationships, and the development of women’s subjectivity. Specifically, the evolution of mutual relationship among women is demonstrated by the increased trust and development of solidarity while the strengthening of subjectivity by the increase of self-acceptance.Este artículo pretende contribuir al debate sobre la sororidad en el marco teórico del debate feminista. En concreto, impulsa el diálogo sobre sororidad respecto a las tres olas del feminismo, al aportar una descripción del nuevo abordaje de la sororidad en el marco de las categorías de la cuarta ola del feminismo. Partiendo de un estudio empírico cualitativo de los círculos de mujeres de Polonia, esta investigación explora la cualidad cambiante de la sororidad, al indagar en las relaciones entre las mujeres y el desarrollo de la subjetividad de la mujer. Concretamente, la evolución de las relaciones mutuas entre las mujeres queda demostrada por la creciente confianza y el avance de la solidaridad al tiempo que se refuerza la subjetividad mediante una mayor aceptación de una misma.
