About this audiobook
A new manifesto for cyberfeminism
The divide between the digital and the real world no longer exists: we are connected all the time. How do we find out who we are within this digital era? Where do we create the space to explore our identity? How can we come together and create solidarity?
The glitch is often dismissed as an error, a faulty overlaying, but, as Legacy Russell shows, liberation can be found within the fissures between gender, technology and the body that it creates. The glitch offers the opportunity for us to perform and transform ourselves in an infinite variety of identities. In Glitch Feminism, Russell makes a series of radical demands through memoir, art and critical theory, and the work of contemporary artists who have traveled through the glitch in their work.
Timely and provocative, Glitch Feminism shows how the error can be a revolution.

It's really disappointing when a description of a book looks like it has something interesting to say but then you decide to take a listen & it boils down to this:
"Whiteness whiteness whiteness whiteness whiteness."
Why is it that authors who claim that they "aren't centering whiteness" literally do nothing but?2 people found this helpful
