Název v původním jazyce

Online Weak and Poor Images: On Contemporary Feminist Visual Politics

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter uses the example of the Instagram account of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez as a point of departure to elaborate on feminist visual politics that makes a breakdown of technology and human bodies its message and its medium. The aim is to understand the power of encounter between Ocasio-Cortez and her mostly anonymous Instagram followers against the conditions of algorithmic manipulation and explain why the imperfect and amateur visuality of Ocasio-Cortez’s Instagram stream should be considered as an example of the way in which the algorithmic, mass image can become a meaningful, political image. Finding power in figures of weakness, the chapter draws from works by feminist artists and theorists, who place the breakability of both the human body and technology on center stage. It is also to show how the history of resistance of the oppressed can play a significant role in finding ways to navigate the ambiguous landscape of online platforms.
