“In spite of honest efforts to annihilate my I-ity, or merge it in what the world doubtless considers my better half, I still find myself a self-subsisting and alas! self-seeking me.” SelfFeminismSelfhoodFeminist Identity Author:Jane Welsh Carlyle
“Throughout [this] book, I have drawn upon the insights and experiences of over three-hundred feminist fans to explicate how fannish and feminist modes of cultural consumption, production, and critique are increasingly converging, opening up informal, ordinary, and everyday spaces for young people, in particular although not exclusively, to engage with feminism. In doing so, I have emphasized that media fandom does not exist in a vacuum but is constituted by the same social, cultural, and political forces that have come to shape fourth-wave feminisms. In turn, the experiences documented throughout Feminist Fandom speak to the ways in which broader shifts within feminist practice, theory, and activism over the past decade have shaped and informed the social and cultural practices of feminist fandom.” FeminismFandomTumblrFeminism IdentityFandom CultureFeminist Identity Book:Feminist Fandom: Media Fandom, Digital Feminisms, and Tumblr Source: Feminist Fandom: Media Fandom, Digital Feminisms, and Tumblr
