  • MIAMI UNIVERSITY the Graduate School
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Bridget Christine Gelms Candidate for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy ______________________________________ Dr. Jason Palmeri, Director ______________________________________ Dr. Tim Lockridge, Reader ______________________________________ Dr. Michele Simmons, Reader ______________________________________ Dr. Lisa Weems, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT VOLATILE VISIBILITY: THE EFFECTS OF ONLINE HARASSMENT ON FEMINIST CIRCULATION AND PUBLIC DISCOURSE by Bridget C. Gelms As our digital environments—in their inhabitants, communities, and cultures—have evolved, harassment, unfortunately, has become the status quo on the internet (Duggan, 2014 & 2017; Jane, 2014b). Harassment is an issue that disproportionately affects women, particularly women of color (Citron, 2014; Mantilla, 2015), LGBTQIA+ women (Herring et al., 2002; Warzel, 2016), and women who engage in social justice, civil rights, and feminist discourses (Cole, 2015; Davies, 2015; Jane, 2014a). Whitney Phillips (2015) notes that it’s politically significant to pay attention to issues of online harassment because this kind of invective calls “attention to dominant cultural mores” (p. 7). Keeping our finger on the pulse of such attitudes is imperative to understand who is excluded from digital publics and how these exclusions perpetuate racism and sexism to “preserve the internet as a space free of politics and thus free of challenge to white masculine heterosexual hegemony” (Higgin, 2013, n.p.). While rhetoric and writing as a field has a long history of examining myriad exclusionary practices that occur in public discourses, we still have much work to do in understanding how online harassment, particularly that which is gendered, manifests in digital publics and to what rhetorical effect.

Kendall’s hashtag activism quickly began trending and reignited a discussion about the trouble with white feminism. A number of journalists have excoriated Kendall specifically, and women of color more generally, for contributing to a “toxic” form of feminism. Yet what remains unquestioned in these journalistic accounts and in the scholarship to date, is the dominance of white women as architects and defenders of a framework of white feminism – not just in the second wave but today, in the digital era.

  • Gendered Visibility on Social Media: Navigating Instagram’S Authenticity Bind
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 4983–5002 1932–8036/20190005 Gendered Visibility on Social Media: Navigating Instagram’s Authenticity Bind BROOKE ERIN DUFFY1 Cornell University, USA EMILY HUND University of Pennsylvania, USA Although the digital economy’s guiding logics of attention and visibility rouse social media users to put themselves out there, individuals experience digital visibility in profoundly uneven ways. For women, in particular, the public nature of online communication is fraught with risk, opening the potential for ridicule, hate, and harassment. This research explores the vexed nature of visibility among Instagram content creators, a community that is especially beholden to this so-called “visibility mandate.” Drawing on in-depth interviews with 25 aspiring and professional Instagrammers, we show how they attempt to stave off potential critique in patterned ways. In their efforts to project themselves as authentic, many sought to deflect accusations of being too real, and, alternatively, as being not real enough. We argue that this uniquely gendered form of a socially mediated “authenticity bind” indexes the wider policing of women and other marginalized communities in digitally networked spaces, wherein they must carefully toe the line between visibility and vulnerability. Keywords: social media, visibility, gender, authenticity, Instagram, influencers Guided by the social media economy’s logics of attention and reputation, Internet users are roused to pursue markers of visibility in the form of likes, favorites, comments, and retweets. On the surface, at least, it seems the greater one’s visibility, the better; careers are borne, new social connections forged, and opportunities for status and professional success abound (e.g., Abidin, 2016; Banet-Weiser, 2012; Cotter, 2018; Duffy, 2017; Marwick, 2013; Schaefer, 2012).

    “By Any Memes Necessary”: Exploring the Intersectional Politics of Feminist Memes on Instagram Department of Informatics and Media, Uppsala University Two-Year Master’s Thesis Social Science: Digital Media and Society Student: Caitlin Breheny Supervisor: Ylva Ekström Spring 2017 !1 Acknowledgements I’d first of all like to thank Uppsala University and my wonderful supervisor, Ylva Ekström, for her continuous advice, support and encouragement. I’m also so grateful to the many others whom I have had the privilege of meeting during my time in Uppsala. My postgraduate student experience really wouldn’t have been as fulfilling without everybody (international and Swedish) who welcomed me into this little bubble. To my closest friends (you know who you are) - I value you immensely, your kindness and acceptance is everything. To my family - I would not be where I am now without you, and I am forever grateful for your support for all my choices in life, and for your unrelenting faith in me. And last but not least, a HUGE thank you must go to all of the people who did not just make this study possible, but made it what it is. To all of my interviewees: @goldnosering, @ada.wrong, @bunnymemes, @yung_nihilist, @fluentfascist, @esoteric_queen, @tequilafunrise, @distressed_memes, and @problematiqueer - my conversations with you were equal parts open, funny, and insightful. I learnt a great deal from speaking to every one of you! Additionally, to all of the people on Instagram who inspired and informed this study (of whom there are many), I admire your humour, honesty and resilience. Being immersed in all of this creativity, my thesis-writing experience has never stopped being interesting.

ISBN 9781580052535, 215 pp. Reviewed by: BROOKE WAGNER America is obsessed with virginity or so asserts Jessica Valenti in her new book, The Purity Myth: How America’s Obsession with Virginity Is Hurting Young Women. From pop stars reaching superstardom after proclaiming their virginity to young women promising their fathers they will remain chaste until marriage to adult women electing surgeries that promise to rejuvenate their vaginas and recreate hymens, virginity is in; and, Valenti believes that this obsession with virginity is pushing feminism out. In The Purity Myth, Valenti examines the current virgin/ whore dichotomy that plagues the United States, and scrutinizes how it affects women of all ages. A sex-positive feminist, Valenti is a nationally known activist whose work is intended for women, feminists, and those interested in gendered constructions of sexuality. Valenti is the founder of Feministing.com and author of Full Frontal Feminism: A Young Woman’s Guide to Why Feminism Matters, He’s a Stud, and She’s a Slut…and 49 Other Standards all Women Should Know, and co-editor of Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape.

  • To the Contrary, President Obama Reinstates a White House Office Dedicated to Women and Girls
    HOST: BONNIE ERBE PANELISTS: MEGAN BEYER, DNC WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP FORUM KAREN CZARNECKI, FORMER LABOR DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL KAY JAMES, PRESIDENT, THE GLOUSTER INSTITUTE LATIFA LYLES, NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN SUNDAY, MARCH 15, 2009 TRANSCRIPT PROVIDED BY DC TRANSCRIPTION – WWW.DCTMR.COM MS. ERBE: This week on To the Contrary, President Obama reinstates a White House office dedicated to women and girls. Then, moms minimize maternity leave in the recession. Behind the headlines, changing the way we view rape. (Musical break.) MS. ERBE: Hello, I’m Bonnie Erbe and welcome to To the Contrary, a discussion of news and social trends from diverse perspectives. Up first, President Obama on women. President Obama this week created a White House Council on Women and Girls by executive fiat. Valerie Jarrett, personal friend and senior advisor to the president, will chair the council. Tina Chen, director of the White House Office of Public Liaison, will run its daily operations. President Obama said the council will, quote, “ensure that American women and girls are treated fairly in all matters of public policy.” Late last year several women’s groups sent a letter to then President-elect Obama asking him to create a cabinet-level bureau focused on women. While this new council doesn’t have cabinet-level status, some women’s groups are pleased by its creation. President Clinton maintained a White House Office for Women’s Initiatives and Outreach, as did several peer administrations, but President Bush abolished it shortly after taking office. So Megan Beyer, President Obama reinstated a less powerful women’s office than President Bush abolished.

  • Blogging While Female: How Internet Misogyny Parallels "Real-World" Harassment
    Blogging While Female: How Internet Misogyny Parallels "Real-World" Harassment t Jill Filipovic In early March 2007, The Washington Post published a front-page article titled "Harsh Words Die Hard on the Web: Law Students Feel Lasting Effects of Anonymous Attacks."1 It detailed an online message board called AutoAdmit, wherein anonymous posters leave hundreds of comments every day about law school admissions, top schools, and law firms-along with sexualized and sexually aggressive comments about female law students, whose pictures are regularly posted for commenters to evaluate. All of the women quoted in the article asked to remain anonymous out of fear that the posts on the message board might have negative consequences for their employment prospects. The article hit a nerve-because I was one of the women whose pictures and personal information were posted on AutoAdmit. I found my name on AutoAdmit just after starting my first semester of law school at New York University. A fellow student emailed me a link to messages about "Jill F at NYU," and I took a look around the board. My name came up several times, and was clearly a running joke that I didn't get- someone would post something like, "Did an NYU student just spew on himself in torts?" and another would respond, "Was it Jill F?" Other posts made it clear that people on the board knew where I had spent the previous summer, what I looked like, and even the ethnicity of my boyfriend. Some anonymous commenters mentioned meeting me or seeing me at school.

  • Is It Possible to Identify As a Feminist and Vote for Donald Trump?
    The feminists who voted for Trump: Is it possible to identify as a feminist and vote for Donald Trump? Politics with a minor in International Relations Abstract 1 Literature on feminist voting in the 2016 American Presidential election has focused predominantly around Hillary Clinton. For many researchers, the existence of feminists voting for Donald Trump is merely a consequence of feminist reactions to Clinton. Additionally, much of this research is media based, indicating a lack of academic rigour to its conclusions. Although some scholars have investigated the reasoning behind the many white women who voted Trump, they have not explored this fully with feminist theory in mind. This dissertation will focus exclusively on feminist women who chose to vote for Trump. Utilizing a broad range of feminist theory, from waves of feminism to the hyphenation model, it will formulate a definition of feminism in 2016 America. This will indicate the theory behind feminist justifications for voting Trump. Existing interviews with feminist Trump voters will be analysed against the theoretical definition of feminism. This will provide examples of how feminists explain their voting choices in practice and demonstrate both the links and discrepancies between Trump and feminism. On reflection, this dissertation finds the common understanding of feminism as directly opposed to Trump to be overly simplistic. Whilst some feminist voters provide reasons for voting Trump that appear to contradict the theory of feminism, others provide explanations that are strongly rooted in feminist theory. It concludes, that whilst it is unlikely, it is possible to identify as feminist and vote for Trump.

  • An Autoethnographic Account of Facing Onlne Harassment As a Feminist Activist on Social Media
    National Dialogue on Gender-based Cyber Violence Debate, Dissent Zindabad!(?): An Autoethnographic Account of Facing Onlne Harassment as a Feminist Activist on Social Media Bedadyuti Jha, Research Associate, Center for Health Research Development, New Delhi Abstract: Internet has become a huge part of our everyday life. It is no more just used as a source of information but with the advent of services like e-commerce and e-banking it has become a service provider and with social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, it plays a big role in the sphere of human interactions also. Along with other forms of interaction, activism has also taken to internet and there are certain outcomes of taking one’s activism and ideology on cyberspace and not all of them are pleasant. In this paper, I attempt to look at the experience of facing online harassment on social media sites as a feminist activist through focusing mostly on Facebook and Twitter through an autoethnographic account. This paper focuses on three aspects largely; the need and pertinence of a discourse around the phenomenon of gender based cyber violence on social media sites, the central theoretical debates and discussions regarding this issue, and finally my experience of facing abuse on social media as a feminist activist and my ways to negotiate with it. Keywords: Cybercrime, Online Harassment, Sexism, Misogyny, Activism, Cyberfeminism, Trolls, 1 National Dialogue on Gender-based Cyber Violence Internet can be called one of the world’s greatest inventions. With the advent of internet in the field of communication technology, the barriers of geographical distance has almost been blurred.
