Las mujeres en política frente al acoso: dos historias y tres representaciones en pantalla

Intimacy (Netflix, 2022), Nevenka (Netflix, 2021) and I am Nevenka (Icíar Bollaín, 2024): in just three years, a fictions series, a documentary series and a fiction film have proposed, from a streaming platform to the big screen, three representations of female politicians who are victims of sexual harassment or ciberbullying. Inspired by two true stories (that of Nevenka Fernández and that of Olvido Hormigos) dating from 2000 and 2012 and which marked a before and after in the judicial treatment of harassment, why have these productions only emerged more than a decade after the events and several years after the explosion of the #MeToo movement? Are they representative of a change in the media’s view of politicians and harassment? The comparative study of production contexts and promotion strategies adapted to the different receptions horizons (streaming versus cinema, fiction versus documentary) will allow us to understand the reasons for this sudden interest. Likewise, the analysis of the audiovisual text will help us to highlight the degree of innovation of each medium and to determine to what extent they participate in the deconstruction of sexist and patriarchal schemes and the construction of an image of sisterhood.
