Editor Reflections
According to Fancher, technofeminism is "an intellectual tradition that investigates the power relationships among our bodies, communities, environments, and labor, and how these power relations are embedded into technologies." It draws a bridge between technology and feminism so the two can drive each another forward.
Through creative interface design, we as students acknowledge how our gender, race, class, level of education, national identity, and other aspects of our positionality influence the practice of composition and archival work. As we reflect on our positionality, we also acknowledge how the rhetoric of design contributes to the construction and deconstruction of systematic oppression. As we navigate and express ourselves this multi-modal platform, we attempt to meaning from traditional language through technofeminist, semiotic ways of communication.
As you read through our reflections, you will get a clearer sense of how our materiality speaks to our interest in this anthology project and get to know us better personally!
