Ciberfeminismo e a (in)visibilidade da mulher negra youtuber

Abstract

Within the context of contemporary communication and the ease of producing and consuming content within cyberspace, it is possible to verify that certain subjects still face difficulties in achieving visibility. This is the case of black women whotubers, who even appropriating the digital environment to build a network of conversations and emancipation for other women, through the discussion of empowerment (BERTH, 2018, FREIRE, 1979) and feminism (RIBEIRO, 2017, 2018 , DAVIS, 2003) are still in a lower position when we visualize the data of media coverage. Discussing under the cross-sectional bias (COLLINS, 2015, 2016, AKOTIRENE, 2018, CARNEIRO, 2003, 2005, 2018, GOMES, 2003, HOOKS, 2010, 2019) and YouTube in the context of participatory culture (BURGESS; GREEN , 2009), we observe the Afros and affines channels, Alexandrismos, De Pretas, Ellora Haonne, JoutJout Prazer and Rayza Nicácio, and we present a descriptive study of the approaches and distances from the reach, interaction and thematic categories. In the research question, we questioned whether the difference in visibility was one of the modes of racism in the contemporary world. We have concluded that black women youtubers interact more significantly than non-black youtubers, but this fact does not interfere with the visibility of your channels, since the reach data of black youtubers videos is lower than that of non-black youtubers. The universalization of the "being woman" was identified in the speeches of the non-black youtubers, due to which their reach turns out to be more expressive. Meanwhile, even though black youtubers talk can reach all women, they are understood only from the racial rather than the gender issue.
