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.
