Session Submission Summary

Technologies of Becoming in the Gendered Spaces of Consumerism

Mon, May 25, 10:30 to 11:45, Caribe Hilton, Flamingo B

Session Submission Type: Paper Session

Abstract

The session produces a double constructivist analysis of the spaces of becoming in which gendered subjects achieve or maintain notable stages of their life. The authors critique the versions of gendered identities created in such spaces (young professionals, mothers, lenders, youth, and a cross-dressing performer) and critique the activities or the tools involved in the process of becoming (microfinance sites, a toy store, and a plethora of social media portals).
