ABSTRACT

This chapter addresses how digital citizenship influences and is influenced by young feminist activism outside the Global North centres. Exploring the preliminary findings of a youth participatory action research project with young feminists in Indonesia, this chapter suggests that an examination of young feminists’ feelings and their activism elsewhere may help us in exploring the potential for affective solidarity as representative of contemporary youth digital citizenship practices. The elsewhere as a spatial formation emerging from the social relations amongst young people living in the Global South learning about feminism, gender inequality, and empowerment may allow for deeper exploration of the materiality of digital citizenship and the multidirectional and transnational circulation of feminist knowledges and activism today. This chapter hopes to contribute to the growing scholarship on how practices of feminist learning are constructed, dispersed, and discussed in digital spaces by attending carefully to the significance of affective solidarity and acknowledging the connections between and specificities of feminist experiences beyond Anglo American centres.
