[COLUMN] Sanitary Panels on Mansplaining

Feminist reflections on internet policies - Wed, 10/25/2017 - 09:52

Sanitary Panels is ironic yet hard hitting, where social commentary masquerades as a web comic and makes us rethink many of our assumptions. Here the comic explores aspects of gender and technology including discrimination faced by women in STEM education and careers.

Ciberfeminismo en el territorio digital

genderit-feninist talk-es - Tue, 10/24/2017 - 17:02

La brecha digital por motivos de género nos sigue expulsando de una posibilidad real de participación, decisión y liderazgo sobre las tecnologías y un control de nuestra imagen en ellas.¿Hay posibilidades de que el feminismo se exprese en el territorio digital? Las búsquedas son diversas, creativas, arrojadas, pero no sin riesgos...

Según el sitio web internetworldstats, que ofrece información actualizada sobre el uso de internet en el mundo, Argentina es uno de los países más conectados de Latinoamérica con casi 80% de conectividad, incluyendo telefonía móvil, junto con Chile y Ecuador. Este contexto que parece propicio para el acceso a las redes no es en sí mismo un índice que asegure un uso igualitario de las tecnologías entre mujeres y varones.

Automation and the future of work: bringing women into the debate

GenderIT.org feminist talk - Tue, 10/24/2017 - 11:56

The future of work in a digital economy could vary enormously depending for different people depending on where they live, who they work for or in what industry, and what access to privilege and resources they have. Dr. Becky Faith in this article examines the particular impact that automation and AI might have on gendered, precarious and often poorly paid labour that women usually are engaged in across the world, but especially in developing countries.

[Columna] ¿Qué internet para qué feminismo?

genderit-feninist talk-es - Tue, 10/17/2017 - 18:45

¿Qué quiere decir "una internet feminista"? ¿Se trata de tener más mujeres en puestos jerárquicos en las empresas de tecnología, en las que administran las redes sociales o brindan servicios de internet? ¿O se trata de considerar otra visión del feminismo, más radical que identifica al patriarcado como el fundamento último de la organización social que garantiza el dominio del hombre sobre la mujer, ahora también visible en internet? Buena discusión que recién que apenas comienza...

[COLUMN] How womxn in the global south are RECLAIMING SOCIAL MEDIA to shine the spotlight on disability

GenderIT.org feminist talk - Tue, 10/10/2017 - 07:22

Womxn in global south are making revolutionary uses of social media, and this includes people challenging casual and everyday ableism. In her column Samukelisiwe Mabaso looks at three amazing projects from different countries that are revolutionizing how disability is talked about - how they are changing language, discourse and perceptions

A university friend of mine was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) a few years ago and as a result of the disease is now disabled. Reading the posts she shares on social media about how she navigates the world as a disabled person has made me more aware of how disabled-unfriendly our world is. Whether intentionally or not, her posts on social media are helping shine a spotlight on disability. This inspired me to do some research into how other womxn in the Global South are doing the same.

[Columna] ¿Sueñan los androides con mujeres eléctricas?

genderit-feninist talk-es - Tue, 09/26/2017 - 17:31

Podemos ir imaginando cómo respondería un sistema de inteligencia artificial a aquella famosa pregunta con la que Simone de Beauvoir abría el revolucionario "El segundo sexo": ¿Qué es una mujer? Las mujeres cocinamos, lavamos los platos, criamos a los hijos, estamos definidas por nuestras relaciones filiales (somos madres de, hermanas de, esposas de, sobrinas de), y estamos más cerca de las tareas domésticas que de las computadoras. ¿Será que los estereotipos continuarán repitiéndose con inteligencia artificial y todo, sin dar lugar a un cambio radical?

En 1982, se estrenaba una película que rápidamente se convertiría en un objeto de culto: Blade Runner. Basada parcialmente en la novela de Philip K. Dick que parafraseamos para esta nota, ¿Sueñan los androides con ovejas eléctricas?, la película exploraba un futuro donde humanos creados genéticamente y humanos reales mantienen una relación particularmente tensa: explotados de manera brutal en colonias extraterrestres, los replicantes ingresan ilegalmente a la Tierra, donde un cuerpo especial de policía (los Blade Runner) deben darles caza.

GenderIT.org feminist talk - Tue, 09/26/2017 - 14:59

In this article Anthea Taderera looks at the personal and political meaning and potentials of a feminist internet. What does it mean to imagine and create a black, African feminist space with room for archiving, theorising and engagement away/free from the surveillance and regulation of state and private parties alike?

For the Harare City Conversation recently held, I was particularly invested in having a conversation about the internet, and Twitter in particular, as public space for organising and resisting, cognitive of the trajectory my online critiquing, writing and general feministing has taken over the last three years.
