SSHRC Awarded IG 2013: Our project examines the reconfiguration of feminist activism in and for the 21st century through digital technologies. We do so in a case study of German "popfeminist" protest and performance art culture. The objective is to interrogate how the "Do it Yourself" (DIY) political body standard to German feminist art activism is transformed through digital technologies. The results will impact the academy, community practice, and student training. It is the first academic study to clearly define twenty-first-century feminism beyond the "waves" by challenging writings on post-feminism that draw bleak conclusions about the viability of feminist politics. It reaches into digital activist communities that are transnational in nature through open access forms of knowledge dissemination. Finally, it will impact student training; a new generation of feminist humanities scholars
will emerge versed in theoretical vocabulary and the complexities of political practice today in and for a digital world. -
