*/Journal of Communication Inquiry/**– Call for Papers*

*Special issue on Digital Feminist Media Studies*

 The /Journal of Communication Inquiry/ invites submissions for the
October 2016 special issue on topics incorporating critical cultural
approaches to the intersection of user-generated culture and feminisms.

Â

Recent media and communication scholarship has assessed the multiple and
complex avenues of interaction between user-generated content and
various feminisms—Black feminisms, transnational feminisms,
postfeminisms—to highlight the impact of cultural production on users.
Feminist scholarship acknowledges that beliefs, practices, and
communities online are articulated in an online cultural landscape that
demonstrates the vitality of gendered ways of thinking and living in a
mediated world, as well as how online media shape and inform feminist
philosophies.

 A critical cultural approach to online media and feminisms is suited
to emphasize emergent notions of meaning, power, and identity across
online communities. /JCI/ welcomes submissions that engage these
intersections within theoretical and methodological approaches utilizing
critical, cultural, and historical perspectives. Studies based in
feminist epistemologies are welcomed, especially those committed to
social transformation research.

Â

Possible topics of inquiry are vast but could include:

 Cyberstalking; online bullying; hacking; surveillance

Postfeminism and online entrepreneurship

Gamergate and online misogyny

Online activism and #everydaysexism

Blogging, branding and class

Gendered disability and online organizing

Transnational identity and YouTube

Online sexual identity and popular culture

Gaze and online sex work

Female racial performance and social media

Selfies and authenticity

Indigenous cultures and online identity

Black feminism and digital music
