Abstract [es]

Tomando como punto de partida lo que Chantal Mouffe ha llamado el "momentopopulista" de Europa, este artículo estudia al movimiento feminista polaco llamado LasProtestas Negras. Aunque su estallido inicial fue una reacción contra un proyecto de leypara restringir aún más las ya estrictas leyes de aborto del país, rápidamente cobróimpulso y se convirtió en una lucha popular por la democracia, tanto a nivel nacionalcomo internacional, en Europa y más allá. Basado en las teorías de Ernesto Laclau yJoan Scott, el artículo investiga cómo el movimiento comenzó rápidamente a articularuna amplia gama de diferentes demandas políticas, así como la forma en que esasdemandas se extendieron por internet, apelando a eslóganes e imágenes cargadas deemoción a través de las fronteras nacionales. Sobre esta base, el artículo muestra, por unlado, que el movimiento sigue una "lógica populista de articulación", pero tambiéncómo, a través de los "ecos de solidaridad" inscribe su lucha tanto en las luchasfeministas anteriores como en las luchas feministas contemporáneas en otras partes delmundo. Esos ecos de solidaridad constituyen, a su vez, un elemento crucial para elactual movimiento feminista transnacional, un movimiento que hoy en día ofrece unimportante contrapeso a las tendencias existentes de populismo de derechas,antiliberalismo y autoritarismo a ambos lados del Atlántico.

Abstract [en]

Taking it starting point in what Chantal Mouffe has called Europe‟s „populist moment‟ this article investigates the Polish feminist mass-movement called The Black Protests. Although its initial outburst was a reaction against a law proposal for a further restriction of the country‟s already strict abortion laws, it quickly gained momentum and grew into a larger popular struggle for democracy, both nationally and internationally, in Europe and beyond. Drawing on the theories of Ernesto Laclau and Joan Scott, the article investigates how the movement swiftly began to articulate a broad range of different political demands, as well as how such demands were effectively communicated and distributed online through affectively laden slogans and images across national borders. Based on this, the article argues on the one hand that the movement follows a „populist logic of articulation‟, but also how it, through „solidarity echoes‟ inscribe their struggle both backward in time to previous feminist struggles, and to feminist struggles in other parts of the world. Such solidarity echoes, in turn, constitutes a crucial element for the present transnational feminist movement – amovement that today offers a significant counterforce to existing trends of rightwing populism, illiberalism and authoritarianism on both sides of the Atlantic.
