ons of Possibility" by SSL Nagbot
In this special issue, we see that the extant forms of feminist research an=
d practice critique gendered forms of marginalization in hacking and making=
in several ways. First, many feminist hackers and makers seek to redress t=
he lack of gender diversity within these techno-communities through the des=
igns of women, queer, and trans-friendly spaces for hacking and making or a=
ddressing women-centered concerns such as improving breast-pumps for nursin=
g. Second, we also see that hacking and making comprise both a method and a=
framework to introduce new kinds of expertise, such as craft and care, int=
o conversations of information technology. These configurations of hacking =
and making as a method and framework depart from the strict focus on techno=
logy associated with the masculinity of hacking. Instead, we find that the =
feminist inquiry and interventions within the essays in this special issue =
alter the very notions of hacking and making and thus introduce alternate v=
alues of inclusion and intimacy.

</span><span style=3D"font-size: 12pt;">This special issue of the Journal o=
f Peer Production shows a growing body of work that brings together feminis=
m with hacking and making. </span><span style=3D"font-size: 12pt;">To =
date, feminist thinking has been taken up
by hacking and making researchers to reveal the gendering of techno-labor,=
to facilitate emancipatory efforts, to cultivate alternative perspectives,=
and to make visible the infrastructural relations of technology. This comb=
ination of visualization with emancipatory
alterity demonstrates the ways that feminism in hacking is largely based o=
n a politics of visibility; that is, hacking and making serve the broader o=
bjectives of bringing to light the invisible infra/structures of power that=
render technological achievement
possible. </span><span style=3D"font-size: 12pt;">In this special iss=
ue, we see that the extant forms of feminist research and practice critique=
gendered forms of marginalization in hacking and making in several ways. F=
irst, many feminist hackers and makers
seek to redress the lack of gender diversity within these techno-communiti=
es through the designs of women, queer, and trans-friendly spaces for hacki=
ng and making or addressing women-centered concerns such as improving breas=
t-pumps for nursing. Second, we
also see that hacking and making comprise both a method and a framework to=
introduce new kinds of expertise, such as craft and care, into conversatio=
ns of information technology. These configurations of hacking and making as=
a method and framework depart from
the strict focus on technology associated with the masculinity of hacking.=
Instead, we find that the feminist inquiry and interventions within the es=
says in this special issue alter the very notions of hacking and making and=
thus introduce alternate values
of inclusion and intimacy.</span></div>
