随着互联网的发展，人们对其性别特征和背景产生了浓厚的学术兴趣。这一章首先讨论了性别与互联网之间的关系的研究是如何通过使用女权主义理论框架中常见的两个性别概念来阐述的：作为身份的性别和作为社会结构的性别。然而，正如我们将证明的那样，这些领域的研究往往具有性别本质论和技术决定论的倾向，而忽视了与互联网技术的定位和体现的日常互动。因此，我们继续对反本质主义和决定论的方法进行评估，侧重于在特定的实践和空间中性别和技术的相互塑造。我们最后讨论了当前流行的用户生成内容，即Web2.0，是否会给性别和互联网的研究带来新的问题。
The growth of the internet has been accompanied by a profound academic interest in its gendered features and contexts. This chapter first discusses how studies of the relationship between gender and the internet have been articulated through the use of two conceptions of gender common within a feminist theoretical framework: "gender as identity" and "gender as social structure". Yet, as we will demonstrate, studies in these domains often have gender-essentialist and technological-determinist tendencies and ignore the positioned and embodied everyday interactions with internet technologies. We therefore continue with an assessment of approaches that counter essentialism and determinism by focusing on the mutual shaping of gender and technology in situated practices and spaces. We conclude by discussing whether the current prevalence of user-generated content referred to as web 2.0 raises new questions for research about gender and the internet.
