本文分析了阿拉伯女权主义活动在网上的参与情况，尤其是在突尼斯和埃及的公民革命期间，特别是妇女利用在线社交网络来帮助社会变革的情况。本研究以阿拉伯活动家和包括女权主义组织在内的活动家组织如何动员、生产知识以及开发和共享在线资源为基础，特别是借鉴对阿拉伯活动家和社交媒体的研究，旨在了解在线活动家话语如何在本地和全球发挥作用。为此，我们利用设计的信息生产和消费模式来分析活动家参与和公民新闻，特别是不同主体通过多个传输和传播阶段进行的沟通信息协商（Newsom、Lengel 和 Cassara, C, 2011）。我们着眼于将本地知识转化为全球知识的理想状态，以及通过框架中引用的调解和把关的各个阶段，信息如何容易受到操纵和偏见。通过这个框架的应用，我们可以看到性别信息是如何被消费者媒体系统构建、本质化、重构和隐形的。
This essay analyzes the engagement of Arab feminist activisms online, most notably during the citizen revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, and, specifically, women’s use of online social networking to aid social change. Building on research examining how Arab activists and activist organizations, including feminist organizations, mobilize, produce knowledge, and develop and share resources online and, in particular, drawing from research on Arab activisms and social media this study aims to understand how online activist discourses function, both locally and globally. To do so, we utilize a schema of information production and consumption devised to analyze activist engagement and citizen journalism, particularly the negotiation of communication messages by various agents through multiple stages of transmission and dissemination (Newsom, Lengel, & Cassara, C, 2011). We look at the ideal of local knowledge as it is transformed into global knowledge, and how the messages are open to manipulation and bias through the various stages of mediation and gatekeeping cited in the framework. Through the application of this framework, we can see how gendered messages are constructed, essentialized, reconstructed, and made invisible by the consumer media system.
