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. In Interpreting the Internet, 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. 606 $aInternet and women$zLatin America 606 $aInternet$xSocial aspects$zLatin America 606 $aSexual minorities$zLatin America$xSocial life and customs 606 $aInternet and activism$zLatin America 606 $aFeminism$zLatin America 606 $aAt sign$xSocial aspects$zLatin America 606 $aLGBTQ+ Latinx$2homoit$1https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000253 606 $aLesbian Latinas$2homoit$1https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000747 615 0$aInternet and women 615 0$aInternet$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSexual minorities$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aInternet and activism 615 0$aFeminism 615 0$aAt sign$xSocial aspects 615 7$aLGBTQ+ Latinx. 615 7$aLesbian Latinas. 676 $a302.23/1 700 $aFriedman$b Elisabeth Jay$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0866562 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151616603321 996 $aInterpreting the Internet$91934341 997 $aUNINA
