Beskrivning

Drawing on science and technology studies and feminist theory, iMedia examines the gendering of imedia or smart technologies such as smart phones and Google glass. Kember puts forward a lively manifesto for refiguring imedia, in reaction to what she identifies as a tendency to celebrate the existence of these often sexist objects.

Recensioner i media

"Kember gives contemporary feminist thought a whole circuit of theory-praxis, a welcome imperative for everyone involved in contemporary pedagogies often bereft of good training: Right now, write now." (Kevin Gotkin, Catalyst - Feminism, Theory, Technoscience, July, 2016)
