Digital intimacies: Queer men and smartphones in times of crisis: A roundtable discussion
Against the odds: Social Media and Resistance
Perfect: Feeling Judged on Social Media (2023) is the latest spoke in Rosalind Gill’s longstanding commitment to helping readers make sense of the complex entanglements between technology, represen
Algorithms for her? 2: Feminist Approaches to Digital Infrastructures, Cultures and Economies
This Special Issue of the Journal of Gender Studies is about algorithmic culture. It is about the values and normativities that are encoded into algorithmic technologies and techniques, and the ways in which algorithms in turn shape contemporary identity formations, across intersections of gender, race, sexuality and disability. It is also about the people who help constitute and reify algorithmic culture – from tech developers, investors and ent…

From Paris is Burning to #dragrace: Social media and the celebrification of drag culture
From Paris is Burning to #dragrace: Social Media and the Celebrification of Drag Culture This article examines the celebrification of drag culture in the USA, and reflects on social media's role therein.This transformation is contextualised historically by charting the evolution of drag media representation from the subversive drag collectives immortalised in arthouse documentaries like The Cockettes (2002) to the emergence of highly-polished, br…
Good food’ in an Instagram age: Rethinking hierarchies of culture, criticism and taste
Through historical, economic and technological contextualisation and empirical data analysis, this article explores the cultural purchase the image-sharing app Instagram and the printed Michelin Guide have on contemporary food criticism. Both platforms contribute to popular understandings of ‘good food’. Yet, there are important functional and discursive distinctions in how culinary criticism is done in Instagram vis-à-vis Michelin. To that end, …
Digital food culture, power and everyday life
Food and digital culture are mutually implicated in contemporary processes of knowledge production and power contestation around the world. Our introduction and the papers in this special issue of the European Journal of Cultural Studies seek to draw out the distinctions, parallels and overlaps across food and the digital to offer critical insights into digital food culture’s capacities, paradoxes and impacts on everyday life. We ask a series of …
Disconnection: Designs and Desires
One of the paradoxes of disconnection is that social platforms like Facebook frame it as a threat to our prosperity while critics associated with “the techlash” maintain that quite on the contrary it is the only thing that brings back the possibility for good life. Disconnection means different things for different actors and these differences manifest in varying desires and designs. The five papers in this panel draw on empirical research and me…

This article examines the celebrification of drag culture in the USA, and reflects on social media’s role therein. This transformation is contextualised historically by charting the evolution of drag media representation from the subversive drag collectives immortalised in arthouse documentaries like The Cockettes (2002) to the emergence of highly-polished, brand-conscious celebrity drag entrepreneurs propelled to fame by the reality television p…
Metric Power and the Academic Self: Neoliberalism, Knowledge and Resistance in the British University
This article discusses the experience of being an academic in the UK in the contemporary climate of neoliberal capitalism and ‘metric power’ (Beers 2016). Drawing on existing literature and our own practice, the first portion of the paper explores the relationship between neoliberalism, metrics and knowledge. We then examine how neoliberal mantras and instruments impact the university’s structures and processes, and reflect on consequences for th…
Simmel in Cyberspace
Research in the humanities and social sciences is increasingly concerned with social media technologies and their use. This article argues that such research could benefit substantially by drawing on the work of the sociologist–psychologist–philosopher Georg Simmel (1858–1918). Simmel's conceptualization of belonging, social space and domination are among his many contributions to social media theory; yet, the significance of this work remains wo…
