Every user knows the importance of the "@" symbol in internet
communication. Though the symbol barely existed in Latin America
before the emergence of email, Spanish-speaking feminist activists
immediately claimed it to replace the awkward "o/a" used to
indicate both genders in written text, discovering embedded in the
internet an answer to the challenge of symbolic inclusion. In
repurposing the symbol, they changed its meaning. In Interpreting
the Internet, Elisabeth Jay Friedman provides the first in-depth
exploration of how Latin American feminist and queer activists have
interpreted the internet to support their counter publics. Aided by
a global network of women and men dedicated to establishing an
accessible internet, activists have developed identities,
constructed communities, and honed strategies for social change.
And by translating the internet into their own vernacular, they
have transformed the technology itself. This book will be of
interest to scholars and students in feminist and gender studies,
Latin American studies, media studies, and political science, as
well as anyone curious about the ways in which the internet shapes
our lives.
