As digital transformations continue to accelerate in the world,
discourses of big data have come to dominate in a number of fields,
from politics and economics, to media and education. But how can we
really understand the digital world when so much of the writing
through which we grapple with it remains deeply problematic? In a
compelling new work of feminist critical theory, Bassett, Kember
and O'Riordan scrutinise many of the assumptions of a masculinist
digital world, highlighting the tendency of digital humanities
scholarship to venerate and essentialise technical forms, and to
adopt gendered writing and citation practices. Contesting these
writings, practices and politics, the authors foreground feminist
traditions and contributions to the field, offering alternative
modes of knowledge production, and a radically different, poetic
writing style. Through this prism, Furious brings into focus themes
including the automation of home and domestic work, the
Anthropocene, and intersectional feminist technofutures.
