{"product_id":"nirbhaya-new-media-and-digital-adrija-dey-9781787545304","title":"Nirbhaya, New Media and Digital Gender Activism","description":"This title centres around digital gender activism focusing on the implications that the phenomenon of online gender activism has for politics, society, culture and gender relations\/dynamics. \u003cbr\u003e On December 16th, 2012, Jyoti Singh, a female psychotherapy student from New Delhi was raped by six men in a moving bus while making her way home with a male friend. After 13 days spent fighting for her life, Jyoti Singh passed away. Abiding by Indian laws, Joyti's actual name was never mentioned by the media and pseudonyms like 'Nirbhaya' (Hindi for fearless) were most commonly used. The brutal attack instantly triggered domestic and global criticism and widespread protests across India over the high levels of violence against Indian women and children, making it one of the biggest gender movements that the country has witnessed. The Nirbhaya case thus became a turning point in the politics of gender justice in India. \u003cbr\u003e The Nationwide protests that followed the case also witnessed one of the first and most extensive uses of digital technologies for activism in India having far reaching changes in how gender activism is conducted. Keeping the Nibhaya case at its core, this book explores and attempts to understand experiences and social constructs and investigate the use of digital technologies and social media by civil society actors, activists and organisations specifically for gender activism in India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrija Dey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178754530X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781787545304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Emerald Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Adrija Dey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136898085119,"sku":"9781787545304","price":110.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2901d210-7ddd-4800-8bec-b3a2f349a457.jpg?v=1770165188","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nirbhaya-new-media-and-digital-adrija-dey-9781787545304","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
