In questo episodio di Fil Rouge parliamo del ritorno dell’essenzialismo di genere nell’era dei social. Dalla “divine feminine” alle tradwife, fino ai trend ironici della girlhood, analizziamo come contenuti virali e apparentemente innocui stiano riproponendo idee tradizionali su cosa significhi essere donna o uomo, e su come differenze biologiche non debbano implicare differenti destini sociali. Tra spiritualità, pseudo-scienza e cultura digitale, queste narrazioni offrono soluzioni semplici a disagi reali, alimentate da algoritmi e precarietà. Proponiamo una riflessione sulle implicazioni culturali e politiche di questi fenomeni e sulle sfide attuali per il femminismo :)
