Abstract

Covid-19 signalled rapid, near-wholesale shifts to the online world, yet how this affected the establishment of supportive, safe spaces for activism has received scant attention. Based on ongoing work with young women and girls in Malaysia, we discuss the pedagogic processes of feminist consciousness-raising as an informal mode of Girlhood Studies education and how online spaces might be reconfigured to enhance the virtual experience through hybrid workshops. Theorized from a feminist new materialist perspective and guided by the principles that feminism is an everyday practice, and feminism is for everybody, we argue that the hybrid space introduced material and sensory elements, facilitated feelings of connectedness, and helped establish a safe space for participants to engage with feminism and girls’ rights in meaningful ways.
虚拟世界中的物质时刻
2019冠状病毒病标志着网络世界的快速、近乎大规模的转变,但这如何影响为行动主义建立支持性、安全的空间,却很少受到关注。基于对马来西亚年轻女性和女孩的持续工作,我们讨论女性主义意识提升的教学过程,作为非正式的女孩研究教育模式,以及如何通过混合工作坊重新配置在线空间以增强虚拟体验。从女权主义新唯物主义的角度出发,以女权主义是一种日常实践,女权主义是为每个人服务的原则为指导,我们认为混合空间引入了物质和感官元素,促进了联系感,并帮助参与者建立了一个安全的空间,以有意义的方式参与女权主义和女孩的权利。

The mission of the journal is to bring together contributions from and initiate dialogue among perspectives ranging from medical and legal practice, ethnographic inquiry, philosophical reflection, historical investigations, literary, cultural and media research to curriculum design and policy-making.
