Feminist Visions of the Network Society

Author

  • Anita Gurumurthy

Abstract

Anita Gurumurthy writing as a feminist based in India and working on technologies, challenges feminists to take up a critical engagement with network theories. She argues that the feminists need to recognize that the digital age has extended the global spaces of power and contestation offering possibilities but also dangers. The dominant paradigm of network theory, she argues that the dominant network in the current historic context needs to be understood by feminists for its potentials and dangers. She proposes that feminist discourses recover key concepts from information society phenomena in order to promote a new theory of feminism/s and alternate visions of the future.
