Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay aims to contribute to ongoing explorations of glitch feminism and its capacities for resistance against capitalist- and cis-normativity. To this theoretical project, I contribute the concept of glitch virality by emphasizing glitch feminism’s circulation across digital, social, and material registers. Through an attendance to glitch virality, the project of glitch feminism is figured as a queer worldmaking project for those subject to the violences of dominative gendered constructs. To demonstrate this concept, I conduct a close reading of the music, visual texts, and multimodal circulations of glitch by electronic artist SOPHIE, whose enactments of glitch feminism demonstrate its viral capacities.
