New Publication: “Messing with the Attractiveness Algorithm: a Response to Queering Code/Space”
by jgiesekingCritical Geography, Digital & Computational, Geographical Imagination, Lesbians, Queering, Queers, Race & Racism, Syndicated, Trans PeopleSeptember 22, 2017I am utterly pumped to share the pre-print for my article, “Messing with the Attractiveness Algorithm: a Response to Queering Code/Space.” This piece will be part of a 2018 special issue “Queering Code/Space,” edited by Daniel Cockayne and Lizzy Richardson for Gender, Place and Culture. I’ve only loading this piece to Socarxiv for open access. I was honored to be asked to be a part of this special issue, a follow-up to Dan and Lizzy’s “Queering Code/Space” session at the 2016 AAG in San Francisco. The pieces in the rest of the issue by the editors, Olu Jenzen, Sam Miles, and Carl Bonner-Thompson are great contributions to thinking about the imbrication of queer lives and spaces and the production of code/space. Along with my response to those pieces, I incorporated a failure I have seen in code for over a decade now. Lacking actual access to the vast archives …
