La Representación, cuerpos e identidades subalternas: análisis en dos medios feministas digitales

Abstract

The following article aims to analyze the representations, bodies and subaltern identities proposed as agents that activate political and feminist discussion and militancy from media production in a counterhegemonic key; For this, the method of the feminist ear proposes a critical analysis of the discourse and its somatic-corporal scaffolding, placed in the production, in the editorial intention and in the informative and journalistic treatment in two feminist digital media: La Peridica (Ecuador) and La Raquel Feminist Network (Argentina) between 2021 and 2022. The theoretical and methodological approach proposes a review and discussion from gender studies, transfeminism, and queer theory that propose a dialogue with communication studies on the media production of emotions and experiences, reflected in the political-editorial lines of the two magazines.

 The discussion also articulates the possibility of reading counterhegemonic media production from nomadic bodies and subaltern identities to the extent that they propose and join activisms in times in which technopolitics sets the pace of collective social relations, this analysis contributes to the regional discussion on the importance of analyzing media production from counterhegemonic positions in times of conservative renewal and a hegemonic system that reproduces violent and discriminatory practices on marginal corporalities and identities.
