Abstract
In this contribution, I reflect on the significance of the Paro Internacional de Mujeres (International Women’s Strike) for contemporary Italian feminism. I draw from autoethnographic research within the feminist movement Non Una di Meno (Not One Less) to explore how the organization of the strike on March 8, 2017, contributed to the development of the movement's theorization and mobilization strategies. In this piece, I illustrate how digital connectivity had a central role in facilitating the expression of solidarity and processes of exchange and ‘contamination’ (Salvatori 2021) between movements across borders. I describe how the sharing of materials, slogans, hashtags, and songs centred on similar claims contributed to the construction of a transnational political subject. Through the strike, feminists analyzed and denounced how economic and patriarchal violence play out in the context of Italy, while highlighting the systemic and non-exceptional character of these forces within neoliberal societies more broadly.
Keywords:

Résumé
Dans cette contribution, je m’interroge sur la signification du Paro Internacional de Mujeres (grève internationale des femmes) pour le féminisme italien contemporain. Je m’inspire de ma recherche autoethnographique au sein du mouvement féministe Non Una di Meno (Pas une de moins) pour examiner la façon dont l’organisation de la grève du 8 mars 2017 a contribué à la mise au point des stratégies de théorisation et de mobilisation du mouvement. Dans cet article, j’explique la façon dont la connectivité numérique a joué un rôle central pour faciliter l’expression de solidarité et les processus d’échange et de « contamination » (Salvatori, 2021) entre les mouvements au-delà des frontières. Je décris la façon dont le partage de ressources, de slogans, de mots-clics et de chants centrés sur des revendications semblables a contribué à l’élaboration d’un sujet politique transnational. Par l’entremise de la grève, les féministes ont analysé et dénoncé la façon dont les violences économiques et patriarcales se déroulent dans le contexte de l’Italie, tout en mettant en évidence le caractère systémique et commun de ces contraintes au sein des sociétés néo-libérales de manière plus générale.
