lf-ro2007 si critica negativista media
Scriu pentru ca au fost 2 articole post-ladyfest in presa mainstream – care au si fost cam singurele (in afara de alte cateva anunturi care informau ca festivalul are loc intre…, la… si contine…) – 2 articole care m-au dezamagit prin continutul negativist si abordarea critica mai mult destructiva decat orice altceva.
revino mai tarziu pentru mai mult…

an image and its message
apropos of the old “sexual politics of meat” debate…
here is a classic misogynistic illustration used to promote meat by telling us to “break the dull beef habit” (by imagining a woman‘s body made up of “tender juicy” beef cuts);
and here are two possible ways of making use of that image in order to promote vegetarianism:


women and tech stuff
because unfortunately the tech-related discussions planned for ladyfest were all cancelled in one way or another, i’m listing here the materials i’d prepared for some of it, in case someone finds them useful as resources:
- first, the powerpoint presentation for my part of the gender and wikipedia/women’s presence in internet spaces workshop
- secondly, a few hand-outs for the discussion on women and science/technology:
- the grep|grrl “read and watch” list [source]
- print-outs of “i blog because i need to” and “amc: the good, the bad, and the just plain sad” by blac(k)ademic
- info on the affinity group on information and new technologies for the european feminist forum [source]
- three info-sheets on “gender equality and new technology” by the association of women in development [source]:
- a paper on “The ‘Problem’ of Women in Science…” [source]
