power, resistence, agency, social mediaAbstract
The accounts of harassment suffered by a significant number of women allow us to understand such denunciations as acts of resistance that, by subverting dominant norms, make emancipation from such situations possible. Studying the network posts in which these denunciations appear shows how communities have grown in importance, favoring interaction and influencing the way in which people carry out various forms of “resistance actions”: activities that show agency and make intelligible certain social practices articulated with practices of power in different contexts.
