Trott interrogates how feminist activists navigate complex
technological ecosystems to build awareness of misogyny, violence
against women, and oppressive experiences women face both online
and offline while cultivating transnational feminist networks and
carving out spaces upon which to build and elevate women's voices.
This book is guided by a few key questions: how is feminist
activism transforming and being mutually shaped by a dynamic and
volatile platform ecosystem? How are activists attempting to
negotiate this terrain? And, how are (anti)feminist politics
contested within the platform society? These questions are
addressed through analysis of three key case studies: the
international feminist organisation Hollaback!; the
#EndViolenceAgainstWomen campaign; and the global
#TakeDownJulienBlanc movement. Building on the intersecting fields
of feminist media studies, platform and internet research, and
political communication, this book addresses cultural and social
questions about how digital platforms shape the values of our
communities and how stakeholders negotiate and engage in civic
practices. This timely and important work interweaves activist
discourses, women's voices and scholarly literature together to
provide insight into the realities of operating within a platform
society. It will be of interest to students and scholars of
journalism, gender studies, media and communication studies,
culture studies, and sociology.
