Re-starting, again
I thought I'd take a rest, and I did, but somehow, it seems that things won’t turn out as I wished, lol.

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 explores the evolution of critical Internet research. By examining the pioneering work of early net critic Geert Lovink, the influencer-style approach of internet theorist Joshua Citarella, and the practices of Alex Quicho and Sophie Public, this essay delves into the diverse strategies internet researchers use to share their work and sustain their careers—more or less independently—in today’s attention economy.
The book features interviews with Geert Lovink, Joshua Citarella (instagram.com/joshuacit… ), Alex Quicho (instagram.com/joshuacit… ), and Sophie Publig (instagram.com/joshuacit… ).

Cyberwitches and Feminist Internet
I’ll be giving a class for the seminar of Cyberwitches and Feminist Internet hosted by the Institute of Postnatural Studies!
“Session II 05 / 05 / 2025 Holistic Healing in Digital Spaces with Morgane Billuart Taking the publication Cycles, The Sacred and the Doomed as a starting point for reflecting on female health and technology, this session will examine the resurgence of ancestral knowledge and healing practices in digital spaces. From Facebook groups to Reddit forums, online communities have become crucial sites for exchanging resources, advice, and alternative approaches to health. This session will explore how digital gatherings enable collective care and reclaim embodied knowledge while addressing the constraints of sharing such wisdom within platforms shaped by capitalism. How do algorithmic structures influence what knowledge circulates? What tensions arise when holistic healing meets the logics of digital consumption? Through a feminist lens, we will discuss the potential and limitations of cyberwitch networks in resisting the commodification of health and fostering radical healing online.”

Technologies, Narratives and Myths
Welcome to a new episode of Becoming the Product! This month, we continue exploring the narratives and mythologies shaping our understanding of technology. As you may or may not know, I’m currently working on a project on materialities of technology, focusing on how Western perspectives have led us to perceive technology as "invisible", “transparent”, and depossessed of a body. The scarcity of explicit research on this topic has made my search challenging, but I believe I’ve gathered insights worth sharing!
