Abstract

SANTOS, Ana Carolina Vila Ramos dos. Teen feminism and youtubers: feminism and teenagers in the context of social networks. Desidades [online]. 2021, n.31, pp. 136-151. ISSN 2318-9282.

This paper investigates how the motivations, practices and experiences of adolescents self-identified as feminists are impacted by social networks. Based on semi-structured interviews, it was investigated how such social networks, especially YouTube, impacted the process of girls' feminist education. The work concludes that social networks have outlined a “feminization of culture”, a long historical process of cultural change in which respect for the feminine, human dignity and difference are central values.

Keywords : youth; feminism; social media; YouTube.
