Furious Technological Feminism and Digital Futures (Digital Barricades)


Free Download Furious: Technological Feminism and Digital Futures (Digital Barricades) By Caroline Bassett, Sarah Kember, Kate O’Riordan
2019 | 144 Pages | ISBN: 0745340490 | PDF | 2 MB
As digital transformations continue to accelerate in the world, discourses of big data have come to dominate in a number of fields, from politics and economics, to media and education. But how can we really understand the digital world, ask the authors of Furious, when so much of the writing through which we grapple with it remains deeply problematic? In a compelling new work of feminist critical theory, Bassett, Kember and O’Riordan scrutinise many of the assumptions of a masculinist digital world, highlighting the tendency of digital humanities scholarship to venerate and essentialise technical forms, and to adopt gendered writing and citation practices. Contesting these writings, practices and politics, the authors foreground feminist traditions and contributions to the field, offering alternative modes of knowledge production, and a radically different, poetic writing style. Through this prism, Furious brings into focus themes including the automation of home and domestic work, the Anthropocene, and intersectional feminist technofutures.

Free Download Erin Moure, "Furious"
English | 1992 | pages: 112 | ISBN: 0887845428 | EPUB | 2,2 mb
The poetry in Furious is charged with Mouré’s characteristic energy and wit as she explores the limits of "pure" reason and the language of power. There is, too, a fresh and often celebratory look at love, and, in an unusual finale, The Acts, Mouré challenges us to explore a feminist aesthetic: of thinking, of the page, of working life and the possibility of poetry.
