PLATFORM FEMINISM & The Politics of Elevation with Dr. Rianka Singh
Event Description:
This talk proposes a new feminist media theory that positions the platform as a media object that elevates and amplifies some voices over others while rendering marginal resistance tactics illegible. I develop the term “Platform Feminism” to describe an emerging view of digital platforms as an always-already useful form of empowerment. I argue that Platform Feminism has come to structure and dominate popular imaginaries of feminist politics.
