Abstract
Abstract The photography of Haley Morris-Cafiero partakes in a larger feminist response to the vitriol of online misogyny that implicates the current moderation environment of online social platforms. This analysis illuminates Morris-Cafiero’s work of transgressive feminist art, using the body as a means for subverting the gaze of online misogyny and fat-shaming and presenting it anew. Morris-Cafiero uses self-portraiture to remark on the subject of online harassment as both the recipient and the sender. Bringing gendered histories of monstrosity into conversation with contemporary gendered online harassment, this article argues that the work of The Bully Pulpit exemplifies a new conception of polysemous monstrosity through which to understand the presentation of self, both for the artist and her trolls.
