SUMMARY:Digital Media, Queer, and Feminist Community Resistance in Southeast Asia
LOCATION:Salón de Grados
DESCRIPTION:The panel seeks to present the intersectional cases of negotiat
 ed identities amongst marginalised communities in Indonesia, Singapore, the
  Philippines, and Thailand. It comprises cultural, gender/sexual and religi
 ous identities, and how digital media accommodate community resistance. Bri
 nging together postgraduate students/early career researchers with differen
 t backgrounds and from different countries, the panel also showcases divers
 e methodologies and perspectives on the lived realities and experiences of 
 sexuality and gender in a digital milieu. Through this interdisciplinary di
 alogue, which encompasses religious, economic, and political aspects, we co
 mpare various approaches to understanding how gender influences and is infl
 uenced by digital media to identify trajectories within the field of gender
  studies related to digital media. The first case foregrounds how marginali
 zed women—victims of violence, single mothers, economically disadvantaged w
 omen, women with disabilities—empower each other based on collective solida
 rity and the role of digital media in facilitating their resistance in the 
 context of Bali, Indonesia. Next, immersing in social media debates within 
 the Singaporean Muslim community, the second study uncovers perspectives re
 garding gender justice and equality when navigating spousal roles in dual-i
 ncome households. The other two research works in this panel focus on queer
  identities and the role of new media in shaping them. Using the case of a 
 queer church in the Philippines, the third case in this panel follows an LG
 BT church in the Philippines to elucidate how the queer community leverage 
 features of social media platforms in a communicative environment to create
  spaces for practicing queer religiosity where there is none. Meanwhile, th
 e fourth study investigates the variegated impacts of social media on the d
 evelopment of boys’ love (BL) media in Thailand and the Philippines. 
 This panel thus showcases the role of digital media in shaping gender ident
 ities against varied socio-cultural landscape in these Southeast Asian comm
 unities. It aims to contribute to the growing body of scholarship in the in
 tersectional discourse of social media and gender visibility in Southeast A
 sia.
