Dissenting narrations about motherhood experiences. A reading from the feminist point of view of personals writings that circulate in digital platforms. The cases of: "Mama Mala"and "Las dos mamis, Activismo Virtual"

Abstract

This document analyze the presence in digital platforms of first-person narrations that approach experiences related to motherhood from a critical point of view, in relation to the mandates and expectations of the dominant socio-sexual imaginaries. For women, lesbians, transvestites and trans, Internet has meant a powerful tool to think and narrate the world from a glance of their own. Some authors who enroll in cyberfeminism (Velásquez Herrera, 2015, Zafra, 2008, Haraway, 1985) consider that the possibility of socializing these other forms of narration, in a de-centered way in relation to the masculine, heterosexual, white and occidental vision – and without mediation of professional knowledge, academia or the publishing industry – has not only had positive consequences for women and dissident identities, it has also transformed the dynamics of circulation and access to non-hegemonic knowledges and positionings. Starting from the point of view of the feminist epistemology, which conceives all knowledge as situated (Haraway, 1985), we resort to a methodology based on semantic content analysis to approach a corpus composed of: the Facebook profile "Mama Mala"( Argentina) and the blog "Las dos mamis, virtual activism"(Mejico).
