Abstract

Cyberfeminizam je nastao devedesetih godina i termin je koji opisuje primjenu internetskih tehnologija od strane feministkinja. Ubrzo je prerastao u pokret u kojem je cyber-prostor postao mjesto za istraživanje i prikazivanje različitih sustava opresije i diskriminacije, društvene nejednakosti, mizoginije i mnogih poteškoća s kojima se suvremene žene susreću u svakodnevnom životu. Jedan od glavnih ciljeva cyberfeminizma je dekontrukcija roda i spola, oslobođenje ženske seksualnosti, dekonstrukcija heteronormativnosti i oslobađanje od brojnih oblika ograničavajućih društvenih normi. Cyberfeminizam se često povezuje s queer feminizmom, budući da termin ''queer'' utjelovljuje različite rodne i seksualne manjine. U ovom radu nastojao se ispitati Cyberfeminizam u Hrvatskoj kroz kontekst dvaju domaćih feminističkih portala. Analizirane su Facebook objave portala Voxfeminae.net i Libela.org. te je istražena angažiranost publike na plasirani sadržaj. Istraživanje je izvedeno u dva dijela, kvantitativno - deskriptivna statistička analiza i kvalitativno - analiza diskursa. Cilj kvantitativnog istraživanja (podaci su prikupljeni putem Netvizz alata) bio je izvesti usporedbu oba portala po kriteriju njihove prisutnost na društvenim mrežama. S druge strane, cilj kvalitativne analize (po osnovi objavljenog sadržaja) bio je istražiti na koji način dva portala prezentiraju feminističke teme.

Abstract (english)

Cyberfeminism emerged in the 90's era and it's a term that describes the application of internet technologies by feminists. It quickly spread to a movement in which cyberspace became a place both for exploring and exposing different systems of opression and discrimination, social inequity, misogyny and many struggles that modern women face on a daily basis. One of main interests of modern cyberfeminism is the deconstruction of gender and sex, liberation of female sexuality, dissolution of heteronormativity and freedom from restraining forms of social norms. Cyberfeminism is often associated with queerfeminism, since the term ''queer'' embodies different sexual and gender minorities. In my thesis I've researched cyberfeminism in Croatia through two of the most influential feminist news sites. I've analyzed Vox Feminae and Libela Facebook posts and public engagement through the published content. The research was conducted in two parts - descriptive statistical analysis and qualitative discourse analysis. The main goal of quantitative analysis (data was collected through the Netvizz application) was the comparation of public engagement on social media in the case of both forementioned news sites. The main goal of qualitative analysis was to examine in the ways in which both news sites present feminist content.
