Abstract

800x600 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 This article examines the relationship between feminist participatory culture and online ativism. I argue that Internet users participate in feminist discourses online by creating memes that present popular fictional female heroes such as Katniss Everdeen ( The Hunger Games ), Buffy Summers ( Buffy the Vampire Slayer ), or the Disney Princess Merida ( Brave ). Emphasizing specific characteristics and plot points of the respective stories, memes project, spread, and celebrate feminist ideas such as female empowerment, agency, and equality.
