digital:gender - de:mapping affect

The publication looks at the intersections that now exist between gender studies and the objects ofdigital media culture-memes, apps, posts. Speculative experiments are carried out to test out entrypoints to the contemporary constellations of digital media culture and gender theory approachesusing individual objects. Feeling and affect play a key role here: having our emotions appealedto by artistic and media objects changes our critical thinking about them. The "cartography" ofcontemporary digital media culture thus constitutes a situated method.Julia Bee is Professor of Media Aesthetics at the University of Siegen.
