Abstract
The turn toward the digital in the fat activist movement marks a crucial shift away from primarily linguistic interventions to image-based counternarratives. The move toward the visual provides a space not simply for body positivity and fat pride, but also for a radical reorientation and reimagining of the role of abjection for the fat subject such that the affective responses of shame, disgust, and disorientation often attached to the encounter with the image of the fat body do not become a site of disavowal, but rather the creation of new forms of relationalities that allow us to imagine otherwise.
