Digital Me: Trans Students Exploring Future Possible Selves Online: The American Campus

Autor Z Nicolazzo, Alden C. Jones, Sy Simms
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 dec 2022 – vârsta ani
The internet is where trans people have come to become. Creating an identity in digital space can be important for how trans people learn about themselves, their communities, and the possibilities available to them. While the internet and digital space is not the only way of coming to understand oneself in a community, it is a space of liberatory possibility and creativity. There is room to invent what may not yet exist for gender on the edges of what many consider to be “real.” For many, digital life can be the site of play, joy, and connection –even while the internet is not a harm-free space nor universally available. This book seeks to understand the complexities at play in the digital realm and the implications that have for gender, digital life, and higher education.

Recenzii

"A smart, useful and frankly overdue study of gender-marginalized people finding self and building community in the chaotic spaces of social media, online cultures, and digital platforms that permeate our lives."
 

"Digital Me is an exciting, timely contribution to ongoing academic and public conversations about the role of the internet in trans and queer lives. With a fresh set of data to work with, the authors richly theorize the online worlds of trans self-making and community-building. I trust this will soon become a dependable resource for trans college students and those who care about them."

“Although institutions of higher education have been important producers of queer and trans theories of gender, those theories have not led to radical changes in how institutions organize themselves as spaces of white, cis gendered, heteronormativity. In response the authors ask what might the future of higher education look like if we take seriously the world and self-making creativity of trans students? A deeply moving book, Digital Me bears witness to the cultivation of online trans lives, and provides sustenance, for students and teachers alike, for those who want to expand the world building possibilities of trans life and knowledge.”

Descriere

The Internet is a potent site from which to theorize, but also imagine, invest in, and explore the prismatic possibilities for life. Digital Me explores how transgender people use the internet in myriad ways. The book explores online life--from cultivating identity to creating community and everything in between.
