摘要当#MeToo于2017年10月在社交媒体上爆炸时，它戏剧性地打破了公众意识，揭示了世界各地性骚扰和暴力的普遍性质。然而，尽管#MeToo受到全球关注，但在此之前有许多倡议，我们认为这些倡议创造了数字足迹，有助于使#MeToo变得易于理解。因此，本文的目的是双重的。首先，它首次尝试绘制各种各样的倡议，这些倡议已经动员起来打击性暴力，并在这样做的过程中，使全球数字女权主义行动主义应对性暴力的谱系可见。其次，建立在这些数字足迹，并展望未来的数字女权主义行动，文章展示了权力和潜力的举措，暴露的结构性条件，使性暴力发生通过集体分享的经验，通过网络网络通过过程中的“道德见证”。最后，我们倡导更多地承认女权主义学者和活动家继续未能见证的声音和经验，并呼吁加大努力，将数字女权主义动员的谱系存档，以捕捉其过去，现在和未来的复杂性和多样性。
ABSTRACT When #MeToo exploded onto social media in October 2017, it dramatically ruptured public consciousness in revealing the widespread nature of sexual harassment and violence around the world. Yet, despite the global attention afforded to #MeToo, it was preceded by numerous initiatives, which we argue created digital footprints instrumental in rendering #MeToo intelligible. As such, the aim of this article is two-fold. Firstly, it offers the first attempt to map a diverse range of initiatives which have mobilized to fight sexual violence, and in doing so, makes visible the global genealogy of digital feminist activism responding to sexualised violence. Secondly, building on these digital footprints and looking towards the future of digital feminist activism, the article demonstrates the power and potential of initiatives that expose the structural conditions enabling sexual violence to occur through the collective sharing of experiences across cybernetworks via processes of “ethical witnessing.” We conclude by advocating for greater recognition of those voices and experiences that feminist scholars and activists alike continue to fail to witness and call for greater efforts to archive the genealogy of digital feminist mobilisation in order to capture the complexity and diversity of its past, present and future.
