An examination of the sound and silence of women in digital media.
In today’s digital era, women’s voices are heard everywherefrom smart home devices to social media platforms, virtual reality, podcasts, and even memesbut these new forms of communication are often accompanied by dated gender politics. In
Women’s Voices in Digital Media
, Jennifer O’Meara dives into new and well-established media formats to show how contemporary screen media and cultural practices police and fetishize women’s voices, but also provide exciting new ways to amplify and empower them.
As she travels through the digital world, O’Meara discovers newly acknowledgedor newly erasedfemale voice actors from classic films on YouTube, meets the AI and digital avatars in
Her
and
The Congress
, and hears women’s voices being disembodied in new ways via podcasts and VR voice-overs. She engages with dialogue that is spreading with only the memory of a voice, looking at how popular media like
Clueless
The Simpsons
have been mined for feminist memes, and encounters vocal ventriloquism on
RuPaul’s Drag Race
that queers and valorizes the female voice. Through these detailed case studies, O’Meara argues that the digital proliferation of screens alters the reception of sounds as much as that of images, with substantial implications for women’s voices.
