[es] Pelo azul y pronombres (2023/11/22)
He publicado un artículo en Pikara:
Entender los ataques de la derecha tradicional a las estéticas feministas y disidentes es clave para replantearnos una politización consciente: detrás de la expresión abierta de nuestras identidades sociales se encuentra la llave para desnaturalizar el sistema dominante.

[en] Media, Politics and Power: Commentary on the concentration of power in the media (2023/11/08)
The Media Reform Coalition is an organisation formed in 2011 to promote the democratization of the media. Their academics, activists and media producers produce different research that shows the endemic problem of concentrated ownership across the UK media landscape and the possibilities of public media in the medium-term future.
To this end, since 2014 they have been publishing reports on media ownership in the UK investigating and making public how large companies dominate the local and national newspaper or radio market in the UK. In their research, they identify a concerning and widespread level of concentration within the news and information markets that need to be addressed as soon as possible because this endogamic situation can be used to manipulate the media landscape to align with media owners' individual beliefs and own interests.
I too consider that the accumulation of power in the media leads to the reframing of the world to one that suits the ones who control it. However, I disagree with some of the points MCR made in their reports and the framework from which they start to do the work they do. More specifically, although I believe that they are not misdirected in this statement, I believe that the reasons on which they are based and the consequent proposals come from a different ground than mine.
The Media Reform Coalition is not intrinsically tied to any specific political ideology. But it fails to question the system which produced the current media landscape. To some extent, MRC’s goals and positions can be understood as aligned with leftist or progressive values because they argue that a diverse and pluralistic media landscape is crucial for a healthy democracy. However, their focus on advocating for immediate regulatory influence to support this pluralism could be seen as limiting deeper exploration into the underlying causes and potential alternatives.
El miedo, los pinchazos y el estigma queer. (2022/08/12)
Coescrito con Ariana Alonso Celorio (@eirepandemonium)
¿Qué tienen en común la oleada a pinchazos a mujeres en discotecas y el tratamiento mediático que se le está dando a la viruela del mono? Promueven estigmas sociales que están arraigados de formas muy calculadas sobre estos grupos vulnerables.
«Ay mamá», ¿es este el Feminismo que queremos? (2022/02/01)
La letra de la canción y la puesta en escena tienen un subtexto bastante tóxico que no le hace ningún bien al movimiento feminista ni a las mujeres en general.
