This paper is based on two topical aspects that call us attention. The first concerns the renewal and inventiveness of resistances amid the scenario of threats to democratic achievements and gender relations. In the encounter with this first aspect, the second one is the organization and mobilization of women on the Internet through cyber-activism. In order to develop our analysis, we start with the formation of the group that was organized during the presidential elections of 2018, the United Women Group against Bolsonaro, to problematize cyber-activism as a struggle for existence in the present time. As a theoretical and methodological perspective, we assume the provocations of Michel Foucault to think of resistances and biopolitics as categories of analysis. As a conclusion we can say that women’s cyber-activism reinforces the positive aspect of power in the Foucaultian perspective, renewing the feminine and feminism as a result of negotiation capable of producing other forms of being and being in the world.
Keywords: Cyberactivism. Women. Resistances. Biopolitics.
