Description

Number 4 in the Litwin Books Series on Gender and Sexuality in Information Studies, Emily Drabinski, series editor In Feminist and Queer Information Studies Reader, Keilty and Dean put the field of Information Studies into critical conversation with studies of gender, sexuality, race, and technology. In classic and original essays, renowned scholars from a range of disciplines think through a broad array of information and technology philosophies and practices. Conceiving of "information" in a broad sense, the contributors reevaluate conventional methods and topics within Information Studies to examine encounters with information phenomena and technology that do not lend themselves easily to the scientific and behaviorist modes of description that have long dominated the field. A Foreword, Introduction, and Afterword provide helpful context to the reader's 27 essays, arranged around topics that include information as gendered labor, cyborgs and cyberfeminism, online environments, information organization, information extraction and flow, archives, and performance. The bride stripped bare to her data : information flow + digibodies / Mary Flanagan -- Essentialism and care in a female-intensive profession / Melodie Fox and Hope Olson -- Reflections on meaning in library and information studies : a personal odyssey through information, sexuality, and gender / Alvin Schrader -- Feminist theories of technology / Judy Wajcman -- Cyborg feminism and the methodology of the oppressed / Chela Sandoval -- Developing a corporeal cyberfeminism : beyond cyberutopia / Jessica Brophy -- Going on-line : consuming pornography in the digital era / Zabet Patterson -- Avatars and the visual culture of reproduction on the Web / Lisa Nakamura -- "Oh no!
