متن يادداشت

In this dissertation I study how postmodernity, and the medium of the era, Internet, condition the feminist advocacy of gender equality in Islam in Malaysia within the context of power-knowledge relation. This dissertation is a product of the interlacement of hermeneutics with the experiences of feminists that are received through in-depth interviews conducted with feminist activists, journalists, communication professionals and academics in Malaysia. In this research, I initially probe the subjugations and powerknowledge relations at play in the consolidation of diverse, non-unitary understandings of feminism and gender equality, and examine feminism's contextualization in Malaysia. Then, I analyze the reshaping of authority over religious knowledge with the emergence of the Internet as an alternative platform to offline arenas. I endeavor to situate 'progressive' feminist advocacies working from within the Islamic framework in Malaysia in this changing landscape of authority. Lastly, in consideration of the Internet's relation with the communication structure in Islam, the Internet's fragmented nature and the disconnections it harbors, I scrutinize the Internet's capacity to accommodate the 'progressive' feminists' claim to power through connecting with a wider audience and disseminating its causes in the postmodern era.
