Abstract

The pervasiveness of sexual violence in the United States was brought to public attention by the #MeToo movement, and in the years since there has been renewed attention to existing resources for survivors of sexual violence, like crisis hotlines and websites, as well as inspiring new initiatives that address problems of sexual violence inscribed within systems of power. Many women have also taken matters into their own hands by downloading one of the many mobile smartphone apps designed to promote women’s safety and/or document instances of sexual violence. In this article, the authors apply critical mobilities studies with a material feminist approach to understand the complex relations that have and continue to coproduce women’s mobilities through the use of mobile safety apps by identifying and analyzing the features of popular mobile safety apps alongside existing literature. Such an account rejects utopian technocratic solutions to complex systemic issues; it also identifies areas for productive intervention in these users’ mobilities.

移动安全应用:不稳定移动的物质女权主义取向
“我也是”(#MeToo)运动让美国性暴力的普遍性引起了公众的注意。在那之后的几年里,人们重新关注了性暴力幸存者的现有资源,比如危机热线和网站,以及一些鼓舞人心的新倡议,这些倡议旨在解决权力体系内根深蒂固的性暴力问题。许多妇女还通过下载旨在促进妇女安全和/或记录性暴力事件的众多移动智能手机应用程序之一,自己动手解决问题。在这篇文章中,作者运用材料女权主义的方法,通过识别和分析流行的移动安全应用程序的特征以及现有文献,来理解通过使用移动安全应用程序已经并将继续共同产生女性移动性的复杂关系。这种观点拒绝了乌托邦式的技术官僚解决方案来解决复杂的系统性问题;它还确定了对这些用户的移动性进行生产性干预的领域。

期刊介绍: Mobilities examines both the large-scale movements of people, objects, capital, and information across the world, as well as more local processes of daily transportation, movement through public and private spaces, and the travel of material things in everyday life. Recent developments in transportation and communications infrastructures, along with new social and cultural practices of mobility, present new challenges for the coordination and governance of mobilities and for the protection of mobility rights and access. This has elicited many new research methods and theories relevant for understanding the connections between diverse mobilities and immobilities.
