Abstract

The article aims to understand the structure and sense of the speech emanating from female leaders and intellectuals from the «feminist tsunami» in 2018. On the basis of a press review from March to September 2018, we carry out an analysis of the discursive framing process, which was built in order to back a structural and sociocultural change in higher education as well as in the country, including social relationships and practices such as institutional regulations and laws. The results show that, in addition to its coherence, the main discourse strength of the movement refers to two main effects: firstly, its ability to go beyond the boundaries of the feminist struggle and link to broad demands of the Chilean cycle of politicization (cultural resonance), and secondly, an inscription from daily experiences of citizenship (narrative fidelity).
