Abstract |
This empirical prospective research project will focus on the educational and emancipatory potential of digital platforms and practices of female Muslim cultural producers in Switzerland from a gender, critical race and digital education perspective. We are particularly interested in the role of young female cultural producers exposed to Antimuslim racism and their tactics and practices of digital resistance, intervention and education. On the one hand the project will analyze the ways in which digital platforms and practices are being used in fostering community, intragroup education and exchange among female Muslim cultural producers in Switzerland, potentially providing safe spaces for those exposed to Antimuslim racism. On the other hand we will ask if and how Muslim female cultural producers create and provide digital platforms to educate and communicate others about Antimuslim racism and Muslim cultures in Switzerland, and whether they manage to build coalitions across and beyond religious, ethnic and political differences. The project intervenes in public discourse and its often narrow focus on 1) the negative, radicalizing effects of digital platforms when it comes to Muslim communities, and 2) the portrayal of Muslim women as passive, voiceless victims instead of producers of culture, community and coalition. |
