This research explores the discourse of the use of social networks
perceived by young women between 18 and 25 years old, specifically on their Instagram profiles. The main objective is to detect
what is the discourse of young women regarding social networks
and analyze how they transfer their position towards feminism into
their Instagram profiles. To do this, we analyze the discourses of
young women participating in two cultural youth groups without a
strictly feminist agenda. These are: a group of castellers from a Catalan university and a youth orchestra from Barcelona. To respond
to the stated objective, we have carried out eight semi-structured
interviews and four life histories with these young participants. The
results show that social networks and, specifically, Instagram make
the daily practice of feminism more complex and contradictory,
consequently it generates a more critical discourse regarding the
use of social networks by young women who have an active profile.
