This Open Access journal article has become one of the most cited and most influential articles about Tumblr. From earliest scholarship, Tumblr was recognized as an important site for trans and nonbinary users in terms of both identity and community formation/curation. Quinn Miller and Marty Fink’s article “Trans Media Moments” (2014) was among the first and most influential, followed by the wok of scholars including Avery Dame (also an author here), Moya Bailey, Abigail Oakley, Andre Calvacante, Kai Jacobsen, and the scholars of the Scrolling Beyond Binaries Project. This article’s significance comes from the authors’ claim of Tumblr as a trans technology in the structural and economic sense as well, demonstrating how those aspects facilitated trans community and identity development through the porn ban of 2018. Here, the authors offer a concept of Tumblr as a structurally queer space along the lines first discussed by Fink and Miller as Alexander Cho in his chapter “Queer Reverb.”
This Open Access article is one product of the Scrolling Beyond Binaries project, “Exploring Social Media Use Amongst Young LGBTQIA+ Australians,” which was begun in 2016 by a community of scholars in Australia headed by Brady Robards, Paul Byron, Son Vivienne, Brendan Churchill and Benjamin Hanckel. This multi-year project is one of the first to demonstrate tumblr’s vital importance as a social media platform for LGBTQ users and its scholars have produced several articles and book chapters from project date, which have been added to the Scholarly Bibliography on this site.
A concise description of Goncharov, for anyone as confused as I was when I first awoke.
There are as of now 19 AO3 fics in the Goncharov (1973) fandom… when I checked a couple hours ago, there were only five.
Wow
hey Everyone! We apologize for the long absence from this blog - Allison, the primary editor on here was experiencing a severe health crisis and the deaths of close friends over the past 18 months. But she (I) am back to update the Tumblr scholarly resources for you, including (immediately following) the publication (now a year old) of a great a book about Tumblr by Katrin Tiidenberg, Crystal Abidin and Natalie Hendry. Do check it out! More to be added soon - there’s a lot fo great new stuff!
not to be earnest and sincere but using this site really is starting to feel like a genuinely unique and enjoyable experience compared to most other social media apps and how they operate now. and i think all of the cringe i used to feel at still being on tumblr after all these years is turning into unabashed fondness for the people and the environment on here
