This book sheds new light on the way that, in the last decade,
digital technologies have become inextricably linked to culture,
economy and politics and how they have transformed feminist and
queer activism. This exciting text critically analyses the
contradictions, tensions and often-paradoxical aspects that
characterize such politics, both in relation to identity and to
activist practice. Aristea Fotopoulou examines how activists make
claims about rights online, and how they negotiate access,
connectivity, openness and visibility in digital networks. Through
a triple focus on embodied media practices, labour and imaginaries,
and across the themes of bodily autonomy, pornography,
reproduction, and queer social life, she advocates a move away from
understandings of digital media technologies as intrinsically
exploitative or empowering. By reinstating the media as constant
material agents in the process of politicization, Fotopoulou
creates a powerful text that appeals to students and scholars of
digital media, gender and sexuality, and readers interested in the
role of media technologies in activism.
