Resumen

Este artículo se ocupa del debate actual sobre feminismos y medios digitales, con una mirada a la tensión existente entre el individualismo y la acción colectiva. Partiendo de un proyecto de investigación empírica con chicas, realizado en Italia y enfocado en los procesos femeninos de subjetivación en un contexto posfeminista de nuevos medios, el artículo trata sobre las limitaciones y las oportunidades modeladas por el uso cotidiano de medios sociales. El artículo se sitúa en la reciente ola de estudios ciberfeministas, analizando las relaciones de amistad entre chicas a través de medios digitales. También se ocupa de cómo la naturaleza mediada de las redes sociales digitales ofrece un espacio para las alianzas entre chicas, y de cómo esto desafía las normas de género en Internet y fuera de él. Al hacerlo, el artículo reflexiona sobre cómo las relaciones entre mujeres cambian y se transforman en la cultura digital, dando un nuevo significado al concepto feminista de sororidad.
