The gender_cyber_archive
Anyone interested in feminist theory, particularly as it applies to technology, ought to peruse the gender_cyber_archive, unless you already have and I'm the last to find out about it. In the archive are written essays and audio lectures in .ram format. I'm especially interested in these:
- Joan W. Scott, Fictitious Unities: «Gender,» «East,» and «West»
- Donna J. Haraway, Alpha Bitches Online: the Dog Genome for the Next Genderation
- Anne Phillips, Feminist Politics: Facing the Future
- Susan Stanford Friedman, Locational Feminism: Gender, Cultural Geographies, and Geopolitical Literacy
- Angela Thomas and Valerie Walkerdine, Girls and Computer Games
- Maria Pini, Girls on Film: Video Diaries as 'Auto-Ethnographies'

gender/cyber archive
What an interesting list--I'm presenting (with a colleague) a hands-on workshop on blogging for our regional Women's Studies conference. I hope to get to some of these articles for my own education and our biblio/blogliography. --Joanna
Cybergirls
Hi Clancy, Thanks for showing interest in my paper with Valerie Walkerdine about girls and compuer games *smile*
I have another paper just about to be published in E-Learning (http://www.wwwords.co.uk/ELEA/? - issue 3); a less-than-perfect draft of it can be found at: http://www.personal.edfac.usyd.edu.au/staff/thomasa/Papers.html under "Digital Literacies of the Cybergirl".
Let me know if it comes in useful.
Kind Regards,
Angela Thomas (http://anyaka.blogspot.com)
women and games
Thanks for leading me to the article on girls and computer games - really interesting stuff. I only became involved in playing them myself after being in a relationship with an avid game player. And just as the article says - itshte more involved games, with storyline, character development, strategy that appeal to me now. Not just random action button tapping.
