This monographic issue aims at analysing, from different perspectives, the 4th wave of feminism, in the frame of the rise of the new populism. Several issues characteristic of the second wave of feminism re-emerged during the contemporary worldwide mobilization of women: gender-based violence, abortion, sisterhood and self-determination. These topics, while characteristic of previous waves of feminism, are framed by the 4th wave in the backlash against women’s freedom and rights achieved in the last decades. The papers describe genealogies and changes in feminist repertoires, action and subjectivation: the emerging of “Hashtag Feminism” and the “call-out” culture focus on vulnerability as a socially shared condition, challenging the relationship with law and building new forms of recognition and solidarity between women. As a result, sisterhood came back to the discussion as an anti-essentialist bond based on trust and an expression of free will, with a potential of converting new mutual practices into common action.Este número monográfico pretende analizar, desde diferentes perspectivas, la cuarta ola del feminismo, en el marco del ascenso del nuevo populismo. Varios temas característicos de la segunda ola del feminismo volvieron a emerger en la movilización global contemporánea de mujeres: violencia basada en el género, aborto, sororidad y autodeterminación. Dichos temas, siendo característicos de olas anteriores del feminismo, quedan enmarcados, en la cuarta ola, dentro del ataque a la libertad y los derechos de las mujeres, los cuales se lograron en pasadas décadas. Los artículos describen genealogías y cambios en los repertorios feministas, la acción y la subjetivación: la emergencia del “feminismo de etiqueta” y la “cultura de la señalación” se centran en la vulnerabilidad como condición socialmente compartida, cuestionando la relación con el derecho y construyendo nuevas formas de reconocimiento y solidaridad entre las mujeres. Como consecuencia, la sororidad volvió al centro del debate como un nexo antiesencialista basado en la confianza y la expresión del libre albedrío, con el potencial de convertir las nuevas prácticas mutuas en acción común.
