ABSTRACT
In Latin America, the serious situation of gender violence, which may well be expressed in what Rita Segato has called “the war against women,” has resulted in the explosion of feminist activism. In this chapter, the author proposes to move from the focus on networks to one that looks at assemblages in order to understand the intertwining of feminist activism between Internet and the streets, but also the digital violence directed towards activists as ways to discipline them. The theory of assemblages is part of a pluralistic research agenda to analyze multiple relations from and with matter known as the new materialisms. The chapter is based on a digital ethnography that can be described as a research strategy for analyzing digital culture. Digital ethnography is not limited to what happens online; rather, it seeks to make visible the intertwinings between digital and analog spaces.
