placer, dolor y memoria en protestas sociales feministas de Rosario (2015-2017)

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to think through social protest of feminist movement occurred in the city of Rosario between 2015 and 2017. Our starting point is the study of social protest aesthetics and we will focus on the analysis of its corporeal and performative dimension. This analysis helps us to study the different expressions of the body, their experiences, the different forms adopted by the body, and the aspects introduced by the plural enunciation of the body in the social protest. To this purpose, taking into consideration feminist epistemology contributions, we address some methodological aspects that consider the body as the center of the political research. Then, we explain the three street styles that we consider they function as the background for the expressions of the body, both individually and in group. Finally, we dedicate, especially, to think about corporeal and performative dimension.
