Several historical and new groups have turned to the networks to make their demands visible and amplify them.

This manuscript sets out to reflect on the theoretical postulate under which the activism of this group can be studied, and to do so it carries out a qualitative content analysis of its publications on Instagram, from its creation until the approval of the IVE Law. The findings indicate that neither the postulate of celebrity activism nor that of celebrity feminism, both originating from the academy of the Global North, manage to be frameworks from which to study this specific case. Therefore, it is asked whether it is not necessary to start thinking about new theoretical approaches that allow for the development of other dimensions that –born in the light of what is happening in the Global South– manage to examine the forms of activism that are specific to that context. El activismo feminista en el entorno digital ha crecido en los últimos años en la Argentina. Nuevas e históricas agrupaciones se han volcado a las redes para visibilizar y amplificar sus demandas. Una de ellas es @actrices.argentinas, un colectivo que desde su organización digital en 2018 ha acompañado luchas y protagonizado denuncias. Este manuscrito se propone reflexionar bajo qué postulado teórico puede estudiarse el activismo de este grupo y, para ello, lleva a cabo un análisis de contenido cualitativo de sus publicaciones en Instagram, desde su creación hasta la aprobación de la Ley IVE. Los resultados indican que ni el postulado de activismo de celebridades ni el de feminismo de celebridades, ambos oriundos de la academia del Norte Global, consiguen ser marcos desde los cuales estudiar este caso en concreto. Por ello se pregunta si no es preciso comenzar a pensar en nuevas aproximaciones teóricas que permitan desarrollar otras dimensiones que –nacidas a la luz de lo que acontece en el Sur Global– consigan examinar las formas de activismo propias de ese contexto.
