摘要

让另类数字媒体成为“另类”的是关键内容，以及作为一个支持社会正义和变革的“生产消费者”平台。一本印度数字杂志，以及我们目前针对批判性另类媒体的案例研究，是《印度女权主义》（FII）及其2017年至2021年对#MeTooIndia运动的新闻报道。在这篇文章中，我们采用了另类媒体的批判性理论和跨国交叉性框架，对FII的理论、社会政治和变革影响进行了批判性文化回顾。我们的目标是探索其作为替代媒体的作用，为印度及其打击性骚扰的跨国#MeToo运动提供跨部门视角和宣传机会。由于“批判性内容”是另类媒体的定义，我们认为，FII是一个批判性新闻网站，它将性别多样的叙事民主化，并在印度政治迎合和父权制主导的主流媒体中引入分裂。

Theoretical and Social Implications of Alternative ‘Feminist’ Media: Sexual Harassment and Intersectional Advocacy in India

What makes alternative digital media ‘alternative’ is critical content and being a ‘prosumer’ platform that champions social justice and change. An Indian digital zine, and our present case study for critical alternative media, is Feminism in India (FII) and its news coverage of the #MeTooIndia movement from 2017 to 2021. In this article, we adopt the critical theory of alternative media and transnational intersectionality frameworks to perform a critical-cultural review of the theoretical, sociopolitical, and change-making implications of FII. We aim to explore its role as alternative media that presents intersectional perspectives and advocacy opportunities in relation to India and its transnational #MeToo mobilizations against sexual harassment. As ‘critical content’ is what defines alternative media, we argue that FII is a critical news site that democratizes gender-diverse narratives and introduces a rupture within India's politically-pandered and patriarchally-primed mainstream media.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Communication Inquiry emphasizes interdisciplinary inquiry into communication and mass communication phenomena within cultural and historical perspectives. Such perspectives imply that an understanding of these phenomena cannot arise soley out of a narrowly focused analysis. Rather, the approaches emphasize philosophical, evaluative, empirical, legal, historical, and/or critical inquiry into relationships between mass communication and society across time and culture. The Journal of Communication Inquiry is a forum for such investigations.
