Una mujer negra incomoda a mucha gente, ¿también en internet?

genderit-feninist talk-es - Fri, 09/15/2017 - 18:56

Un colectivo de mujeres negras brasileñas decidió crear su propio espacio de activismo en internet como una manera de ejercer su militancia feminista y cuestionar a un mundo que las discrimina, también en el ciberespacio. Esta entrevista a Charo Nunes , de "Blogueiras Negras" resulta reveladora de discursos de odio que se creían superados.

Entrevista con Charô Nunes1, del colectivo Blogueiras Negras2:

CR – ¿Cómo entiendes al blog Blogueiras Negras y la presencia en las redes sociales con relación a la militancia de las mujeres negras en un entorno tan diverso como internet? Específicamente, ¿cómo es el canal de comunicación con los lectores? ¿Ustedes reciben e-mails, comentarios, en qué proporción? Vi, por ejemplo, que en el blog muchos textos no tienen comentarios, ¿los comentarios son moderados para evitar expresiones de odio o por alguna razón no atraen este tipo de ataques?

En profundidad de GenderIT.org - Thu, 09/14/2017 - 00:57

A fines de mayo, The Guardian, diario británico, publicó documentos internos filtrados que revelan de qué manera la empresa Facebook modera contenidos. Somos muchas las personas y organizaciones que durante largo tiempo hemos reclamado una mayor transparencia en torno a la moderación de contenidos de Facebook y esperamos ver resultados.

A fines de mayo, The Guardian publicó los Facebook Files, documentos internos filtrados que revelan de qué manera la empresa modera contenidos. Somos muchas las personas y organizaciones que durante largo tiempo hemos reclamado una mayor transparencia en torno a la moderación de contenidos de Facebook, para entender mejor la violencia de género que sucede en la plataforma y aportar puntos de vista.

[SPECIAL EDITION] Expert on my own Experience: Conversations with Neo Musangi

GenderIT.org in-depth - Wed, 09/13/2017 - 10:47

Neo Musangi is a performing and visual artist, academic and researcher. They are non-binary (preferred pronouns: they and them). In this interview Neo talks about various things – sexuality and gender based groups, the women’s movement and feminism, the role of visual and performing art and their disgruntlement with academia, being non binary openly and publicly both online and offline.

I begin my interview with trepidation. In my experience in India, trans, gender non-conforming, non binary and intersex people are wary of knowledge projects, and with good reason. There is a history of epistemic violence here – of being surveyed, written about and made into metaphors around fluidity of gender (and even sexuality) with a bare minimum of participation from those who are gender non-conforming, non binary, trans or intersex.

"We cannot be what we cannot see": Mapping gaps in research in gender and information society

Feminist reflections on internet policies - Sun, 09/10/2017 - 10:47

The articles in this bilingual edition point to how visibility of our bodies and our stories is the starting point of a different way of being. The stories we tell of struggles and perseverance, of movements and solidarity – entangled as they are in the fine wires of technology – are necessary and essential and could be the foundations for the movement for change.

The articles in this bilingual edition point to how visibility, a complicated phenomenon in itself, is the starting point of a different way of being, and how the stories we tell – entangled in the fine wires of technology – are necessary and essential, and could be the foundations for the movement for change.

Mapping gaps in research in gender and information society

Feminist reflections on internet policies - Sun, 09/10/2017 - 07:59

Since the World Summit on Information Society to now there have been several shifts in the field of gender and information society. The dominant discourse during WSIS 2003 and 2005 was infomation communication technology for development (ICT4D) and since then there has been a shift towards a framework centred more around human rights rather than programmatic and fixed ideas of what constitutes development.
