Excited to share an essay on Mixtaping in a new book titled Feminist Making, Doing, and Sensing: Experiments in Philosophy, edited by Lauren Guilmette and Ada S. Jaarsma!
“Placing pressure on what it means to “do” feminist philosophy, Feminist Making, Doing, and Sensing offers an innovative and critical rethinking of feminist philosophical practice and feminist philosophy as a disciplinary field of thought. The collection raises questions about how disciplines are made, how philosophy gets done, and the collaborative nature of thinking.”
My chapter, follows the mixtape through childhood bedroom recording, underground music scenes, plastic petro-histories, and today's algorithmically curated playlists to ask what mixtaping does: how it holds, releases, remixes, and suspends relations in ways that might make space for collective feminist practices within contemporary computational culture. Or something like that! ;)
The editors have also launched feministmaking.com, a companion website featuring teaching resources, classroom activities, contributor blog posts, and a growing collection of open-access materials that extend the conversations in the book.
