2025 (English)In: The Production of Gendered Knowledge of War: Women and Epistemic Power / [ed] Annika Björkdahl; Johanna Mannergren, London: Routledge, 2025, p. 163-179Chapter in book (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

This chapter takes an interest in the construction of gendered knowledge in the digital space. Through an analysis of the digital activism of the epistemic agent Nadia Murad, survivor of the genocide against the Yazidi, the chapter investigates how she departs from her personal, embodied experience of ISIS violence to advocate for justice, recognition and reparation. Through the methodological approach of netnography, the chapter analyses how she uses the social media platform X to gain considerable epistemic power, producing and disseminating knowledge and advocating for the empowerment of survivors, while at the same time navigating patriarchal oppression. The analysis destabilizes gendered assumptions of who holds authoritative knowledge, and how and where it can be exercised.
