Bodies of Information
Intersectional Feminism and Digital Humanities
Elizabeth Losh and Jacqueline Wernimont, Editors
MANIFOLD OPEN ACCESS EDITION
A wide-ranging, interconnected anthology presents a diversity of feminist contributions to digital humanities
Can the digital humanities complicate the basic assumptions of tech culture, or will this body of scholarship and practices simply reinforce preexisting biases? Bodies of Information addresses this question by assembling a varied group of leading voices, showcasing feminist contributions to topics including ubiquitous computing, game studies, new materialisms, and cultural phenomena like hashtag activism, hacktivism, and campaigns against online misogyny.
"Created to lend itself to classroom settings, this volume enables readers to learn about the nature and development of the digital humanities, especially how intersectional and feminist work has shaped and is shaping it." —LSE Review of Books
