Online Amateur Feminist Critique of Films and TV Series

This article studies a set of feminist critical discourses on film and TV fiction, published online. Based on several analytical criteria structuring these texts, as well as strategies of circulation of knowledge and demands, the author posits that activist critique of films and TV series is an instrument of socio-political activism informed by feminist praxis. Through their educational dimension, which uses networks developed on the Internet, these critiques facilitate the emergence and growth of anti-sexist interpretive communities. In so doing, they critically examine the way in which fiction perpetuates or reconfigures gendered roles.
