{"product_id":"interpreting-the-internet-elisabeth-jay-friedman-9780520284494","title":"Interpreting the Internet: Feminist and Queer Counterpublics in Latin America","description":"Every user knows the importance of the \"@\" symbol in internet communication. Though the symbol barely existed in Latin America before the emergence of email, Spanish-speaking feminist activists immediately claimed it to replace the awkward \"o\/a\" used to indicate both genders in written text, discovering embedded in the internet an answer to the challenge of symbolic inclusion. In repurposing the symbol, they changed its meaning. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eInterpreting the Internet\u003c\/i\u003e, Elisabeth Jay Friedman provides the first in-depth exploration of how Latin American feminist and queer activists have interpreted the internet to support their counterpublics. Aided by a global network of women and men dedicated to establishing an accessible internet, activists have developed identities, constructed communities, and honed strategies for social change. And by translating the internet into their own vernacular, they have transformed the technology itself. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in feminist and gender studies, Latin American studies, media studies, and political science, as well as anyone curious about the ways in which the internet shapes our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elisabeth Jay Friedman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520284496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520284494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Elisabeth Jay Friedman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202147369215,"sku":"9780520284494","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1ead0c1-df64-4970-87ed-2ddbd9fd06dc.jpg?v=1756819769","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/interpreting-the-internet-elisabeth-jay-friedman-9780520284494","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
