A Feminist Digital Constitutionalism?

The objective of this thesis is to explore the content of a set of documents selected from the vast number produced in recent decades, through a lexicon-textual analysis of their language, applying however an innovative analytical framework, built on the basis of an overview of the main theories and perspectives developed in the context of digital feminism. The results of the overviews developed on the approaches of digital constitutionalism and digital feminism, supported by the analysis of the documents, identify points of intersection between the two fields and provide a theoretical basis on which developing a new feminist approach to digital constitutionalism.
