Abstract

Since its re-emergence in 2017, the #MeToo movement has been adopted across the globe. #MeToo has a transnational dimension, transcending its initial US context and placing international issues alongside national concerns. This article aims to contextualize and situate #MeToo, providing a critical review of the movement in two local contexts – Catalonia (Spain) and Portugal. The analysis is grounded on empirical observations on social media, drawing as well on previous scholarship on the topic produced both internationally and in the contexts of study, and on the engagement with relevant national media sources. By focusing on national expressions of #MeToo in Portugal and Catalonia, this article explores how #MeToo took shape in (and was shaped by) the local contexts and existing feminist practices. It presents the different temporalities and dynamics of the movement in these two contexts, exploring the roles of both social media and traditional press in the local developments of #MeToo, and also briefly exploring the local legislative implications of the movement. This article thus presents #MeToo as common and easily recognisable frame used in local contexts to approach different issues of sexual and gendered violence, yet flexible enough to allow for national specificities.
定位#MeToo:加泰罗尼亚和葡萄牙运动的比较分析
自2017年重新出现以来,#MeToo运动已在全球范围内得到采纳。#MeToo具有跨国的维度,超越了最初的美国背景,将国际问题与国家问题放在一起。本文旨在将#MeToo运动置于语境和情境中,在加泰罗尼亚(西班牙)和葡萄牙这两个地方背景下对该运动进行批判性回顾。该分析基于对社交媒体的实证观察,借鉴了之前在国际和研究背景下产生的关于该主题的学术研究,以及与相关国家媒体来源的接触。本文以葡萄牙和加泰罗尼亚的“我也是”运动的国家表达为重点,探讨“我也是”运动是如何在当地背景和现有女权主义实践中形成(以及受其影响)的。它呈现了这两种背景下运动的不同时代性和动态,探讨了社交媒体和传统媒体在#MeToo当地发展中的作用,并简要探讨了该运动在当地的立法含义。因此,本文将#MeToo作为一种常见且易于识别的框架,在当地背景下用于处理不同的性暴力和性别暴力问题,但又足够灵活,可以考虑到各国的具体情况。
