LGBTQ Digital Cultures–A Global Perspective

Abstract

Her research examines feminist and LGBTQ perspectives on alternative media and global journalism practices. India, Taiwan, the U.S., and Latin America have all been the subjects of her research. LGBTQA communities have taken advantage of the fast-expanding global cyberspace to assert equal rights. This book provides a repository of ideas, insights, and experiences by incorporating international LGBTQ studies into undergraduate and graduate courses. It includes Iran, Turkey, the Phil-ippines, Canada, and Turkish perspectives. However, it does not fully explore the intersectional influences of generational, relational, and socioeconomic origins. A voice for the LGBTQ people who have been systematically excluded from dominant discourses and media, the Iranian LGBTQ community uses social media to create networks, share experiences, and influence the Iranian mainstream public sphere. The study of transgender issues in Chinese social media helps understand the possible negotiation between trans voices. Digital technology and social media have impacted LGBTQ activism, advocacy, education, empowerment, identity, protest, and self-expression in this collection of essays. This edited collection explores queer cyberculture and presence through a critical and cultural studies lens. The book examines issues such as race, disability, colonialism, sexuality, and gender through the lens of representation and identity politics. The collection considers how digital technologies have expanded the scope of queer cultural production. It also believes that such technological affordances and platforms have enhanced the transforma-tive potential of queer artistic practices. Contributors and case studies from various
