ABSTRACT
This chapter examines of contemporary feminism as something one does and performs via practices of making. It analyzes how scholars and self-identified makers conceptualize the relationship between making cultural artifacts and doing feminism, where making trumps acts of consumption and revalues processes of production; where process is valued more than the artifacts that are made. The chapter offers a partial review of the literatures and also analyzes a limited scope of feminist making around those literatures that have most explicitly, and extendedly and also examines the relationship between making and doing feminism. It aims to explore texts that circulate around and about feminist making, maker culture, and crafting as practices of contemporary feminism, where making is understood as a way of doing feminism. The chapter deals with the discussion of feminist media making and feminist making more generally and refers to the latter when ideas of feminist making transcend the particular artifacts of feminist media and technology.
