Women's Voices in the BlueWave Resistance on Twitter

Cruel Optimism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

With a focus on Twitter's BlueWave Resistance community of women, Cynthia A. Davidson argues, using rhetorical and political analysis, that political tweeting is an optimistic act--but frames this through engaging Lauren Berlant's claim in Cruel Optimism that what we most desire is also an impediment to our thriving.
