- Summary:
- "In The New Politics of Online Feminism, Akane Kanai takes up online feminist subcultures to examine how young people today craft ethics that support their efforts to live feminist lives. For young feminists who have grown up with social media, online culture is now a central, everyday means through which feminist ideas are encountered and negotiated. The New Politics of Online Feminism attends to the everyday experience of young Australian feminists in online feminist 'knowledge cultures'. While online feminism has been understood through the lens of 'fighting back' via the affordances of social media platforms, the ethnographic approach of this book centers the dilemmas of everyday feminist subjectivity in a cultural moment where it has, seemingly, never been more important to avoid complicity with patriarchy, racism and other inequalities, and to keep improving the self in service of this goal. Kanai provides a nuanced account of what it means to act as a feminist, to inhabit an identity, and to be in relation to other people in the ever-shifting and high-pressure context of online feminist communities, and how the politics of these spaces bleed over into public culture more broadly."-- Provided by publisher.
