Where have all the cyberfeminists gone - gone to ning.net everyone (; -))
by Radhika Gajjala 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Hi all, I recd some abstracts and emails expressing interest already. The deadline for abstracts is still December 30th - but in case some of you wanted to join conversations as the work develops come to http://cyberdivadotorg.ning.com ______ Title: Where have all the cyberfeminists gone? Editor: Radhika Gajjala _______ Submit Abstracts/proposals to radhika(a)cyberdiva.org by December 30 2009. Abstracts should be 1000 words long and should clearly detail the primary research questions, research site(s), theoretical framework and methodology. If you have questions about publication plans and venue for this collection - email me. _____ Call: As Faith Wilding and Critical Art Ensemble have noted "the territory of cyberfeminism is large. It includes the objective arenas [of] cyberspace, institutions of industrial design, and institutions of education--that is, those arenas in which technological process is gendered in a manner that excludes women from access to the empowering points of techno-culture." Cyberfeminism necessitates an awareness of how power plays out in any mediated context and privileges decentered, multiple, participatory practices. In the 1990s, several scholars and activists came forth with Cyberfeminist interventions and analyses of technocultures worldwide and their work connected with that of well known Feminists such as Donna Haraway, Sandra Harding, Katherine Hayles and Vandana Shiva among others. This collection is meant to be an exploration of what it means to be cyberfeminist now - more than a decade after Feminists burst forth onto the Internet scene demanding material access and social intervention both online and offline. What for instance does it mean to be “cyberfeminist” in a time when women are everywhere on the internet as consumers and as paid and free laborers? How does cyberfeminism play out in relation to forms of social entrepreneurship and online philanthropy (such as microfinance for instance)? What role to feminists play in a digital era of social networks, gaming cultures and digital finance when claims are made that feminism is no longer necessary? How do race, class, place, space, ethnicity, religion and nationalisms play into how women negotiate various technomediated environments online and offline? Or, in other words – where have all the cyberfeminists gone? Where are they going... -- Radhika Gajjala Professor of Communication Studies and Cultural Studies Interim Women's Studies Director 2009-2010 233 Shatzel Bowling Green State University Bowling Green, OH 43403 http://personal.bgsu.edu/~radhik
