| Omschrijving: | Digital sociability has transformed forms of interaction, enabling new possibilities for communication, but also generating new vulnerabilities that affect individuals in differentiated ways. Within this context, gender-based digital violence emerges as a form of aggression that is perpetrated and amplified through technological means, disproportionately shaping the digital experiences of women and girls. Drawing on the concept of affect—understood as the body’s capacity to affect and be affected—and on diverse experiences of feminist digital activism, this essay seeks to analyze how circulating affects in contexts of digital violence influence the digital experiences of women and girls. The findings reveal the ambivalent nature of affect: while it can constrain agency through fear and self-censorship, it can also enhance it through practices of sorority and political mobilization. Ultimately, the affective dimension constitutes an indispensable framework for approaching digital experiences and for making visible the impacts of the multiple forms of gender-based digital violence, which manifest in diverse and dynamic ways depending on the platforms where they originate and circulate. |
