| Every user knows the importance of the “@” symbol in internet communication. Though the symbol barely existed in Latin America before the emergence of email, Spanish-speaking feminist activists immediately claimed it to replace the awkward “o/a” used to indicate both genders in written text, discovering embedded in the internet an answer to the challenge of symbolic inclusion. In repurposing the symbol, they changed its meaning. In Interpreting the Internet, Elisabeth Jay Friedman provides an in-depth exploration of how Latin American feminist and queer activists have interpreted the internet to support their counterpublics. Aided by a global network of women and men dedicated to establishing an accessible internet, activists have developed identities, constructed communities, and honed strategies for social change. And by translating the internet into their own vernacular, they have transformed the technology itself. Contents: 1. Conceiving Latin American Feminist Counterpublics 2. The Creation of “a Modern Weaving Machine”: Bringing Feminist Counterpublics Online 3. Weaving the “Invisible Web”: Counterpublic Organizations Interpret the Internet 4. La Red Informativa de Mujeres de Argentina: Constructing a Counterpublic 5. From Privacy to Lesbian Visibility: Latin American Lesbian Feminist Internet Practices | |
