En este artículo consideramos la política, las emociones y los afectos como un campo de estudio fundamental para la antropología. A partir de un proyecto de investigación sobre emociones y política en el movimiento soberanista/secesionista catalán llevado a cabo entre 2019 y 2021, buscamos aportar elementos que puedan ser de utilidad para el debate...

El antifeminismo del discurso de Vox, un partido de ultraderecha emparentado con las nuevas derechas latinoamericanas y con la derecha radical europea, es una de sus señas de identidad. Pese a la relevancia mediática de la toma de posición “antigénero” de las élites de este partido —en otras palabras, de su oposición a la justicia de género y a la...
Article
This article explores how a feminist approach to politics can resonate within a nation-building project in Catalonia against the backdrop of rising transnational anti-feminist right-wing populism in Europe. Feminism and nationalism have often been presented as oppositional, and nationalist struggles have been considered to further patriarchal regim...
Article
In this article, we aim to explore how affects work within and through gender discourse in the Spanish far right. We address two burning topics: the connection of (anti)gender and far-right politics and the political potential of affects. Opposing traditional views, we argue that far-right groups are not exclusively driven by hate. In Vox leaders’...

El 6 de enero de 2021, entre los seguidores de Trump que asaltaron el Capitolio de Washington estaba Jacob Anthony Chansley — también conocido como Jake Angeli. Ataviado con un tocado de piel de coyote y cuernos de búfalo, descamisado, cubierto por significativos tatuajes, con un megáfono, una lanza envuelta en una bandera estadounidense y la cara...

Este volumen pretende participar en el debate sobre lo que se denominan las nuevas masculinidades y generar una reflexión, aportado una visión caleidoscópica y coral, sobre como construyen su masculinidad los jóvenes varones en este primer tercio del siglo XXI en sociedades adultocéntricas y machocráticas, donde el poder se ejerce desde la mirada d...
Article
This article discusses the political potentialities of embodied feminist resistance in a nationalist setting like contemporary Catalonia. It strives to provide a better understanding of the body-gender-nation assemblage and pave the way for different formulas of resistance. I study how feminist nationalism in the Catalan pro-independence left oppos...
Chapter
In this chapter I discuss how bodies, gender and politics are related and assembled. Following feminist epistemologies that consider bodies as open materialities, matter and discourse and active participants in social life opens up possibilities for hacking and re-shaping our bodies and for shaping and re-shaping us. Through the examination of two...

Obiageli Ezekwesili, exministra d’Educació de Nigèria, va impulsar la campanya internacional #BringBackOurGirls per a reivindicar l’alliberament de 276 xiquetes segrestades pel grup terrorista Boko Haram al nord-est del país.

Article
In order to explore the political and transformative potential of bodies in relation to gender and affects, I discuss how bodies, gender and politics are entangled through the figuration of ‘overflown bodies’. Departing from a material-discursive feminist conceptualisation of bodies, ‘overflown bodies’ are assemblages embedded in complex relationsh...
Chapter
In this chapter I aim to consider what posthumanism and other feminist epistemologies (such as new materialisms) can “do” with and for Gender Studies and for our understanding of some of the sex-gender and affect configurations. Through moving from natural(ised) essences to a nonbinary model of knowledge that focuses on relations, connections, syst...

This article discusses the possibilities that posthumanist paradigms offer for anthropological analysis. It departs from a field research on the relationship between masculinities and bodies that took part between 2011 and 2014. That research consisted on three different waves determined by sexual orientation, sex and origin of the informants. This...

Patriarchy dominates systems of knowledge across religion, popular culture and medicine, constructing gender and sexuality. It subordinates women through categories related to health and illness, goodness and evil. "Possessed women" condense the idea of order subversion through the disorder of the soul and the body. Men assume the position as the k...

In this work we consider that bodies are individual, social and symbolic producers of discourses about identity. Through the exploration of the connections between bodies, gender meanings and sexualities, we aim to unveil the values and mean- ings of gender that we associate to feminine bodies; we also aim to analyze the referential categories for...

This article is part of a research about the use of selfies in two different apps, Grindr and Instagram. We are interested in exploring how selfies relate to masculine bodies and produce different negotiations of intimacy. Selfies are personal, bodily centered, and highly visible. Understanding their production can contribute to the discussion on t...

Based on the anthropological interrogation into communities and the construction of a public sphere, this article approaches the digital strategies used to shape what may be referred to as the Spanish LGTB sphere. I consider LGTB activism as the main producer of legitimized social discourse, and have therefore analyzed the websites of seven LGTB co...

A la vista del texto da J. R. Llobera, finalista del XVIII Premio Anagrama de Ensayo, uno no puede ni siquiera imaginarse cómo será el ganador. Nos encontramos de nuevo, como es habitual en el autor, ante un texto ágil, brillante, documentado, y eso sí, ácido, que ha de ser leído con un gran sentido del humor, pues si no, cabe el peligro de que uno...

Conference Paper
Identity-based social movements face a well- studied and basic contradiction: using their difference to achieve equality reinforces their differentiation. Tensions between difference and equality have permeated activist discourses at least since the 60s shaping various activist positions that range from assimilationism to radicalism. In the curre...

This article derives from my own fieldwork experience as a female anthropologist working in the field of gender and male sexual dissidence. Taking my early fieldwork in the 1990s as a departure point, and drawing on my recent fieldwork with Spanish Lesbian, Gay, Transsexual and Bisexual activists, I reflect on the researcher's position, both in the...

The present work intends to explore the relationships between bodies and masculinities and to analyse the way in which the discourses on particular bodies are constructed in everyday life. As we are aware of the difficulties of making explicit some implicit discourses on such a complex intersection, we chose to use photography as an elicitation tec...

Media are fundamental in the processes of identity construction. In the case of social movements, media also play an important role for the visibilization of the movements and their claims, and for the mobilization of the population (Shner and Aviv, 2006; Carroll and Ratner, 1999: 3). I aim to analyze media mediation and LGTB activism through the a...

El proceso de investigación en ciencias sociales aspira al mayor −y mejor− conocimiento del mundo que nos rodea. Para este objetivo es fundamental saber tratar los datos que los investigadores manejamos. Por ello, en este artículo se propone una reflexión sobre el manejo de los datos asentada en los conceptos de análisis/interpretación y fundamenta...
Conference Paper
The occupation of public space by signifying bodies is basic for activism. The visibility of demonstrating bodies confronts social meanings, enacts social claims and shapes social imaginaries about the protest and the protesters. Bodies are not just mediators of protest: they are protest. This proposal aims to analyze the embodied practices as ac...
Conference Paper
Since the publication of Haraway’s celebrated work on cyborgs, through the works of Latour and Akrich, among others, much has been said about the intersections betweeen bodies and technologies, about the limits of the human and the entrance in the ‘post-human’ and about the processes of embodiment/disembodiment of the Computer Mediated Communicatio...

Presentem, amb aquestes ratlles, un dossier dedicat a la recerca duta a terme per un conjunt molt divers d’investigadors.

Las fronteras siempre nos dicen algo. Al pensar una frontera, podemos pensarnos con una identidad cambiada, distinta. Hay fronteras que actúan como marcadores simbólicos de la distancia física, social, subjetiva. Hay fronteras que marcan la transi-ción hacia experiencias liminales. Hay fronteras geográficas, interpersonales, sexuales, de género, ét...

In this article, we will approach the mechanisms used for entitlement and the way in which public space has been reappropriated and resignified by sexual dissidents as a space for vindication, visibilization and commemoration. We will do so through the analysis of the LGTB Pride Parades in Spain – Madrid Pride in particular – and through an analysi...

Durante el siglo XIX se construyó una identidad homosexual particular, medicalizada y estigmatizada .En los años 60, la existencia de esa identidad fue negada por el movimiento gay aunque con su sola existencia parecía confirmar esa especificidad. En la actualidad siguen coexistiendo estos dos discursos, un discurso mayoritario que condena y estigm...
