Appropriation of ICTs for the denunciation/visibility of violence against women and dissident identities

The case #Yanonoscallamosmas

Abstract

Currently, digital technologies acquire a fundamental centrality due to the uses and appropriations made by people. In this paper, we will analyze the uses and appropriations of digital platforms made by women and dissident identities to denounce and make violence visible. We worked with a specific case from Argentina of the activist group "Ya No Nos Callamos Más" (We Won't Be Quiet Anymore), whose emergence was due to the denunciations made to the singer of a rock band. The group appropriated the digital platform blog. The time frame for the processing and analysis of the data covered from the beginning of the blog, taking as reference the first publication in November 2016, until the date of the last publication in July 2018.
