Gender and Digital Culture offers a unique contribution to the
theoretical and methodological understandings of digital technology
as inherently gendered and classed. The silences within, through
and from the systems we experience every day, create inequalities
that are deeply affective and constitute very real forms of
algorithmic vulnerability. The book explores these lived and
mundane algorithmic vulnerabilities across three interrelated
research projects. These focus on recent digital phenomena
including sexting, selfies and wearables, and particular
decision-making systems used in health, education and social
services. Central to this book are the themes of irreconcilability
and the datalogical. It makes the case that feminism and gender
politics have become increasingly irreconcilable with not only
long-running debates around representation and embodiment, but also
with conceptions of the technological, conceptions of the user and
of the systems themselves. In keeping with longstanding feminist
scholarship, these irreconcilabilities can be productive and
generative; they can be used to interrogate the power politics of
digital culture. By studying the lived and routine elements of
digital technologies, Gender and Digital Culture asks about the
many convolutions that are held together through the everyday use
of these technologies, and the implications for how gender and
technology are approached, discussed and theorised.
