This paper critically explores possibilities for feminist solidarities and empathic identification in digital atmospheres. It is written in response to disparate experiences of solidarity and appropriation shared via feminist hashtags that trended following the terror attack on Muslim communities in Ōtautahi, Christchurch in March 2019. It considers two cases of hashtag feminism shared by prominent female politicians in the aftermath of the attack: 1) the #TheyAreUs hashtag shared by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern; and 2) the #TheyAreUsShutdown hashtag shared by Green Party Member Golriz Ghahraman. My research combines a network analysis and Critical Technocultural Discourse Analysis to assess the connective and discursive power of hashtags. Adopting a critical feminist ethic of empathy , I interrogate the influence of female politicians and their role in galvanising solidarity across international and intersectional feminisms to produce politically effective outcomes. I argue that the affecting power of empathy is heightened by the networked affordances of hashtags which have the potential to either fracture or transverse boundaries across feminisms.

Trends untold: a mixed methods analysis of feminist politics and discourses of empathy in the aftermath of the Christchurch mosque shootings
