Digital culture - immersed in the emerging technologies of digital media - has expanded the visibility and interactivity of feminist movements across the globe through interconnected communications, subsequently transforming the meaning and impact of feminist politics. What do such transformations mean for the future of feminist activism and progressive politics both on and offline? What, especially, do these transformations mean for organizing and advocacy across racial, ethnic, trans/national, dis/ability, gender, and sexuality differences? This course will explore the possibilities and limitations of digital technologies in forging transnational and intersectional feminist conversations, community-building, and global solidarity. Topics may include social media and interactivity; hashtag activism and feminist blogospheres; digital migrations and virtual border-crossings; digitized sex and sexualities; sexual violence, trafficking and pornography; cultural appropriations and racial performance; material versus virtual bodies; discursive populisms and backlash; popular culture and digital humanities. Students who have received credit for AWSS498 cannot receive credit for this course.
