Abstract

This article discusses political action through social networks, having as the object of investigation two sets of cyberactivists, organized in Blogueiras Feministas (Feminists Bloggers) and Blogueiras Negras (Black Women Bloggers). The analysis considers such groups of women as producers of counter-discourses in the context of the conflict inherent in the formulation of the liberal public sphere based on the public-private dichotomy, whose standards relegate women to marginal positions in both spaces. The analysis of the blogs showed that the actions of online activism by feminist movements create new spaces for interaction and organization, which then generate autonomous ways of producing social identity.
