Editor Reflections

Learning and writing online, we often think our bodies no longer matter, because things are "digital" and therefore not "real." Patricia Fancher in "TechnoFeminist Design" reminds us that we are always embodied designers, because by making our writing more accessible to others through the computer screen, we make ourselves more visible.

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!
