A mass feminism: women and diversities' mobilization in the Green Tide cycle (Argentina, 2015-2020)

Authors

Abstract

In Argentina, in 2015 from the concentration of "Ni una Menos" a cycle of feminist mobilization was activated, with the creation of new organizations, demands, agendas and rights, called the "Green Tide". The objective of this paper is to reconstruct this new cycle, considering the organizations, the demands and agendas, and the repertoires that allowed the massification of participation. The argument that we will support is that this cycle was opened by external and internal conditions to the movement. This article shows the results of an investigation carried out since 2016 to understand the changes in social mobilization in contemporary Argentina during the crisis of the left turn and the conservative restoration since the end of 2015. In methodological terms we follow a mixed method that combines techniques, disciplinary perspectives and analytical perspectives in an integrated approach to the study of social phenomena and processes.
