This series will build on existing scholarship on digital activism to foreground the different forms of visual and digital culture that arise within intersectional feminist media practices, particularly in the context of feminist resistance and protest culture. We are particularly interested in monographs from both up-and-coming and established scholars that address important nodal points of visual culture and tactical practices of resistance found in feminist media. These include collective action, media theorizations, coalitional politics, and critical cultural interventions filtered through media forms.

Although a large portion of scholarly inquiry into feminist media protest cultures comes out of the social sciences, this series seeks to equally emphasize and draw on analytic frames and practices rooted in humanities, experimental, and creative contexts. In this way, the series can offer insights derived from critical cultural understandings of media practices that are not fully realized in other disciplinary frames. We invite book proposals for cutting-edge, concise monographs that:

• Explore approaches to feminist media resistance, including, but not limited to, performance and film, communication, feminist media studies, experimental media, science and technology, fandom studies, and gaming studies


• Theorize new frameworks for reading the methods, tactics, experiments, artistic ventures, and politics that feminists use for protest and/or resistance


• Take up feminist media studies, visual culture, aesthetics, praxis, tactical media, politics of protest, media resistance, media storytelling, media histories, activist media kinships, queer futures, and/or intersectional media.

Inquiries and proposals may be sent to: Becca Bostock, Associate Editor.
