Female Body & Digital Culture: presence & subjectivities - Paperback
by Crisante Alves (Author)
The female body, ever vibrant, has adapted to new paradigms and cultural expectations over the centuries, often subverting systems that try to objectify and control it. The evolution of the female body in today's digital culture is no different.
As new creative objects and digital artifacts emerge, the female body has embraced the fragmented and new subjectivities in the new paradigms propelled by digital technology. To see the female body in digital culture is to see an autonomous, bleeding body that rejoices in the complexity of the flesh as it builds a global virtual dynamic community without borders: geographical, gender, race, age.
In Female Body in Digital Culture: Presence and Subjectivities, author and researcher crisante alves delves into this virtual community, examining how the female body expresses itself through images, text, movement, and theory to become a solid, vibrant participant in digital culture.
The relationship between the female body and digital technologies is fluid, constantly changing as the two interact. That interaction raises fascinating questions about the nature of the female body and its movement and action in the emergent digital culture. Not all these questions have immediate answers, but crisante alves invites the reader to examine and learn from a new and diverse set of complex female-centric digital artifacts.Author crisante alves holds a degree in romance literature and humanistic studies as well as a master's degree in human ecology and contemporary social problems. Her doctorate in communication sciences focused on contemporary culture and new technologies. Her independent research focuses on the human body and communication, posthumanism, literature, poetic text, and digital technologies.
