Using Digital Media to Analyze the Evolution of Feminist Discourse

The Evolution of Feminist Discourse:

 My focus for this project is how the power of language and the discursive structures in which the written word is presented, are changing or are being given the ability to change, with the introduction of digital tools. In the pursuit of this project, I am aiming to deconstruct current models of phallogocentric discourse, as coined by Jacques Derrida, by providing an example of how digital tools can allow for the creation and development of new structures. The term “discourse” will be used as it is described by Foucault, which is to say it encapsulates the theory that language, and the structures in which words are presented, contain power relations and societal expectations of normativity.

This page acts as the homepage which you may return to at any time to change paths if you so choose.

I have done my best to provide brief definitions for the more uncommon terms found throughout the project. These may be seen by clicking on the small note graphic beside the highlighted terms. Other, more common words may be highlighted as well, but these function as place-holders for the various forms of media used throughout the project.
