Réaction face à l’infonuagique
Crimes sexuels numériques et antiféminisme en Corée du Sud
Mots-clés :
violence sexuelle numérique, technologies numériques, féminisme, Corée du Sud, surveillance et sécurité, violence sexuelle facilitée par la technologieRésumé
Cet article explore la question de la sécurité corporelle, de la surveillance et de la sécurité à l’intérieur et à proximité des espaces numériques sud-coréens. En m’intéressant au cas de la Nth Room de mars 2020, je soutiens que la croissance rapide des technologies numériques et infonuagiques exacerbe les problèmes sociaux et politiques en Corée. J’utilise une approche méthodologique interdisciplinaire par rapport aux études critiques sur le genre et la sexualité, au féminisme des données et aux études féministes coréennes dans le but de remettre en question la relation entre les technologies numériques transnationales, l’enracinement profond du patriarcat, la réaction antiféministe contemporaine et le paysage politique conservateur de la Corée du Sud. Je suis d’avis que les serveurs infonuagiques de clavardage en groupe instantané constituent un cas particulier qui illustre les difficultés auxquelles les activistes féministes font face à l’égard des crimes sexuels numériques et de la surveillance en Corée du Sud et à l’échelle transnationale.
