DOI: 10.6035/Recerca.2019.24.2.91130-6149http://hdl.handle.net/10230/55501The second-wave feminist critique of privacy defies the liberal opposition between the public-political and the private-personal. Feminist thinkers such as Hanisch, Young or Fraser note that, according to this liberal conception, public institutions often keep asymmetric power relations between private agents away from political discussion and action. The resulting subordination of some agents to others tends, therefore, to be naturalised and redefined as a «personal problem». Drawing on these contributions, this article reviews the social and political implications of big data exploitation and questions whether personal data protection must remain a matter of «privacy self-management». It aims to show that feminist political theory can decidedly help to identify and tackle the root causes of what I call «data domination».application/pdfengLos textos publicados en esta revista están sujetos a la licencia Reconocimiento-CompartirIgual de Creative Commons que permite copiar, distribuir y comunicar públicamente la obra siempre que se especifique el autor y el nombre de la publicación.
