The feminist collective action. From the class struggle to the gender struggle? Contributions for the practical understanding of social movements: the case “Ni Una Menos”

Abstract

In this article I propose to elaborate a feasible explanation of the contemporary social movements considering the feminist collective action of the Argentine case “Ni Una Menos” and four visible components in her: structural, political, strategic and cultural. To do this I incorporate some perspectives of the different theories of social mobilization; review the central postulates of French materialist feminism, queer theory and decolonial feminism; and reflect on the strategies of mobilization, the repertoires of action and the frameworks of mobilization, with emphasis and the grammars of public life that are implemented in the latter. The text presented aims to reinforce the link between the understandingand practice of social protest.
