Project description
Exploring global feminism’s impact on Catalonia
Fourth wave feminism, catalysed by the #MeToo movement, has introduced new online activism, media representation, and intersectionality. Scholars highlight its global nature. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the GlocalFem project explores how fourth wave global feminism intersects with regional differences, focusing on Catalonia. The project examines the intersection of cyberfeminism and globalisation with local factors such as the Catalan language and identity, feminist authors from the Catalan-Moroccan diaspora, and material urban changes in Barcelona. Using an interdisciplinary methodology, it investigates how a feminist movement that began in 2017 among millennial and Generation Z female creators challenges conventional boundaries and shapes local realities. The project analyses various media and interviews with feminist content creators.
Objective
"The fourth wave of feminism propelled by global trends and catalyzed by the #metoo movement in the early 2010s has ushered in new dimensions of online activism, mass media representation, and intersectionality. Scholarship has often highlighted the transnational nature of the feminist movement. However, this project aims to explore how 4th wave global feminism intersects with regional nuances, with a focus on the specific case of Catalonia. “Embodying Glocal Feminism: A New Feminist Cultural Movement in Catalonia (2017-2023)” (GlocalFem) examines the intersection of cyberfeminism and globalization with local factors such as the historically minoritized Catalan language, the stateless national Catalan identity, and feminist authors of the Catalan-Moroccan diaspora, as well as material urban changes in the city of Barcelona. The study emphasizes the necessity of an interdisciplinary model of analysis and proposes a new lens, ""glocal feminism,"" to examine how the global 4th wave feminist movement translates locally. By utilizing an interdisciplinary methodology, GlocalFem examines a cultural and artistic movement that started in 2017 among millennial and Gen Z female cultural creators. These women navigate and challenge conventional boundaries through their knowledge production, blurring the line between popular/academic knowledge production, online/offline activism, and global feminist identity/Catalan national identity. Through the documentation and analysis of podcasts, TV series, films, social media accounts, and new spaces in the city of Barcelona, together with interviews with feminist content creators, this project seeks to understand how this new wave is shaping local realities in Catalonia. The study's findings could pave the way for similar investigations in peripheral regions of Europe, propelling feminist discourse within local contexts and minority languages and reconfiguring the landscape of knowledge production.
