This book examines contexts, practices, and activism on issues of
gender violence at the intersections of online and public spaces.
Through individual case studies, the volume considers the interplay
between the virtual worlds of online spaces including social media,
physical spaces and bodies, and the ways in which offline and
online dimensions of experience can serve as motivators for,
extensions of, or limitations to each other. Examining both
problems and potential solutions, chapters explore the impacts of,
and potential resistance to, the intersections of gender violence,
social media, and our complex lived environments across national
boundaries. Throughout the volume, close attention is paid to the
difficult issues highlighted when prior conceptions of basic
foundations such as public space, individual rights, and
professional responsibility are confronted by new examples that
further trouble the boundaries of long-held frameworks of legal,
social, professional understanding, and even our comprehension of
the "real." Each chapter grapples with a difficult reality related
to gender violence, underscores possible ways forward, and
highlights limitations, resisting easy answers to complex and
persistent questions about rights, personal integrity, and social
responsibility. Offering clear insights into a critical issue, this
book will be of interest to scholars and students in the areas of
media studies, social media, gender and women's studies, sociology
and criminology, digital humanities, and politics.
