Gender, Sexuality, and Embodiment in Digital Spheres

Abstract: Gender, sexuality and embodiment in digital spheres have been increasingly studied from various critical perspectives: From research highlighting the articulation of intimacies, desires, and sexualities in and through digital spaces to theoretical explorations of materiality in the digital realm. With such a high level of (inter)disciplinarity, theories, methods, and analyses of gender, sexuality, and embodiment in relation to digital spheres have become highly diversified. Aiming to reflect this diversity, th… Show more

“…Our observations confirm the findings by other existing studies that digital platforms, such as dating apps, are extensions of the material realities they are embedded in (Van Doorn, 2011). Digital dating apps are only one manifestation of how our lives are now more than ever before dominated by almost untraceable cloud environments, automated smart environments, algorithmic biases, racism, and predictive policing, sellable Big Data, even more, complex codes, and other types of bits and bytes (De Vuyst, Geerts, & Rahbari, 2022).…”

“…Researchers must develop innovative empirical studies to account for the various forms of algorithmic oppression LGBTQ+ users experience on and by digital platforms. Importantly, future studies should examine how platform algorithms affect and oppress LGBTQ+ users in differentiated ways, depending on a variety of intersecting and complex factors (e.g., race, disability, social class, religion, age, local cultures, indigeneity, geopolitical contexts, legal jurisdictions), in line with studies that apply intersectional theories to digital research objects (Geerts & Rahbari, 2022). Furthermore, our review shows how platform algorithms have so far been apprehended as being predominantly oppressive in nature toward LGBTQ+ users.…”
