This book explores the practices and the politics of relatable
femininity in intimate digital social spaces. Examining a GIF-based
digital culture on Tumblr, the author considers how young women
produce relatability through humorous, generalisable
representations of embarrassment, frustration, and resilience in
everyday situations. Relatability is examined as an affective
relation that offers the feeling of sameness and female friendship
amongst young women. However, this relation is based on young
women's ability to competently negotiate the 'feeling rules' that
govern youthful femininity. Such classed and racialised feeling
rules require young women to perfect the performance of normalcy:
they must mix self-deprecation with positivity; they must be
relatably flawed but not actual 'failures'. Situated in debates
about postfeminism, self-representation and digital identity, this
book connects understandings of digital visual culture to gender,
race, and class, and neoliberal imperatives to perform the 'right
feelings'. Gender and Relatability in Digital Culture will be of
interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines
including gender studies, cultural studies, sociology, and media
studies.

What does it mean to be pedagogical in a post-truth landscape? How
might feminist thought and action work to intervene in this
environment? Gender in an Era of Post-truth Populism draws together
leading feminist scholars of gender and education to explore the
current significance of the rise of populist policies and
discourses and the challenges it poses to the hard-won battles
regarding the rights of women, immigrants, and minorities. Offering
the first detailed feminist intervention in this space, the
collection explores the significance of populism for feminist
pedagogies and practices in relation to gender and education. This
exploration has significance for broader and urgent questions of
our times regarding knowledge, authority, truth, power and harm and
considers the potential for feminist interventions in relation to
pedagogies and activisms to speak back and disrupt populist
agendas.
