The Gender Dimension of Digital Folklore

Abstract

Internet folklore explores popular digital cultures. As the social environment of folklore studies is digitized, women and men folklorists realize that they can no longer ignore the internet and other forms of mediation associated with new technologies. Thus, in the age of postmodernism, which is inconceivable without technology and information technology, the science of folklore redefines cultural terms and concepts in their modern dimension, directly intertwined with information technology and the internet. As digital folklore develops, it is evident that digital gender folklore, the feminist folklore of the internet, is also growing in its context.
