In this workshop, participants will explore the fluid identity of the Girl Online through the lens of autotheory, using digital tools inspired by girlblogging practices such as journaling, speculative storytelling, fan fiction, browser tab histories, and moodboard archaeology. By reimagining life paths as narratives shaped by mood, energy, and traits—similar to creating a game character in The Sims—you’ll be able to consider how we construct and perform our identities online and irl. Projecting the contradictions embodied by the Girl Online onto personal avatar creation offers the possibility to perform a critique of gender stereotypes in connection to platform capitalism, while acknowledging the Girl Online’s identity as one rooted in late capitalism. Playing with the cultural artifacts of girlblogging allows participants to unearth the entanglements between their digital and meatspace selves and experiment with renarrating their existence through the perspective of the Girl Online.

𐙚 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘂ß’s research explores digital cultures, copyright, and the commodification and accessibility of culture. She is pursuing her doctoral research on access to culture in the context of digitality.

𐙚 𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴 [ publig-enemy.neocities.org/ ] researches and teaches on memes, critical posthumanism and digital occultism, with a focus on unearthing the symbiotic relationships between technology, culture and the environment.

Na delavnici bodo udeleženke raziskovale fluidno identiteto osebe Girl Online skozi prizmo avtoteorije, pri čemer bodo uporabljale digitalna orodja, katera so navdihnila prakse girlblogging-a, kot so pisanje dnevnikov, spekulativno pripovedništvo, fenovska fikcija, zgodovine spletnega brskalnika in arheologija moodboard-ov. Prek ponovnega osmišljanja življenjskih poti kot pripovedi, ki jih oblikujejo razpoloženje, energija in značajske lastnosti – podobno kot pri ustvarjanju lika v videoigri The Sims – boste lahko razmislile, kako gradimo in performiramo svoje identitete na spletu in zunaj njega. Projiciranje protislovij, ki jih uteleša Girl Online, na ustvarjanje osebnega avatarja ponuja možnost performiranja kritike spolnih stereotipov v povezavi s platformnim kapitalizmom, hkrati pa priznava identiteto Girl Online kot ukoreninjeno v poznem kapitalizmu. Poigravanje s kulturnimi artefakti girlblogging-a udeleženkam omogoča, da odkrijejo prepletenost med svojim digitalnim in “mesenim” jazom ter eksperimentirajo s ponovnim uzgodbovanjem svoje eksistence skozi perspektivo Girl Online.

𐙚 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘂ß raziskuje digitalne kulture, avtorske pravice, komodifikacijo in dostopnost kulture ter izvaja doktorsko raziskavo o dostopnosti kulture v kontekstu digitalnosti.

𐙚 𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴 [ publig-enemy.neocities.org/ ] raziskuje digitalne ekosisteme, poučuje o memih, kritičnem posthumanizmu in digitalnem okultizmu, pri čemer se osredotoča na odkrivanje simbiotičnih odnosov med tehnologijo, kulturo in okoljem.
