Future Feminisms: Biolabour, Technofeminist Care, and Transnational Strategies
About this ebook
Future Feminisms is an interdisciplinary exploration of the contemporary experiences of women within three different contexts - the private, public, and online spheres. Chapters explore women’s experiences of insecurity, instability and change, migration, and diaspora as experienced in both physical and digital communication environments. The diversity of the topics and the thought-provoking chapters are divided into the three sections of ‘Gender, Migration, and Decolonization’, ‘Digital Gender Activism’, and ‘Motherhood, Home, and Work’.
The juxtaposition of how women experience technology, digital media, activism, and feminism is explored through performative practices, including digital, thereby providing an innovative approach in relation to the interplay between political action, the body and artistic works.
