Abstract

Abstract:Online platforms present new challenges to feminist politics since they provide antifeminist groups with additional possibilities to come together and advocate their claims towards wider publics. This article argues that new analytical perspectives are needed to understand how antifeminist discourses are successfully produced and promulgated online. In particular, it suggests that in addition to analyzing the content of antifeminist discourses we need to pay attention to how the design and governance of online platforms, as well as the resources among antifeminist activists, shape online resistance to feminist politics. Two analytical dimensions are introduced that help to specify how the design and governance of online platforms, as well as the social composition of antifeminist groups, enable these to come together online and influence mainstream publics. To demonstrate the usefulness of this analytical approach, a study of an influential antifeminist blogosphere in the Swedish context is used as an illustrative case.

超越反女权主义话语：分析物质和社会因素如何塑造网络对女权主义政治的抵制

摘要:网络平台给女权主义政治带来了新的挑战，因为它们为反女权主义团体提供了更多的可能性，让他们聚集在一起，向更广泛的公众倡导自己的主张。本文认为，需要新的分析视角来理解反女权主义话语是如何成功地在网上产生和传播的。它特别指出，除了分析反女权主义话语的内容外，我们还需要关注网络平台的设计和治理，以及反女权主义活动家之间的资源，如何塑造对女权主义政治的网络抵抗。本文介绍了两个分析维度，有助于说明在线平台的设计和治理以及反女权主义团体的社会构成如何使这些团体能够在网上聚集在一起并影响主流公众。为了证明这种分析方法的有效性，本文以瑞典背景下一个有影响力的反女权主义博客圈为例进行了研究。

期刊介绍： Social Politics is the journal for incisive analyses of gender, politics and policy across the globe. It takes on the critical emerging issues of our age: globalization, transnationality and citizenship, migration, diversity and its intersections, the restructuring of capitalisms and states. We engage with feminist theoretical issues and with theories of welfare regimes, "varieties of capitalism," the ideational and cultural turns in social science, governmentality and postcolonialism. We are looking for articles that engage in this exciting mix of debates that will be of interest to our multidisciplinary and international audience.
