Abstracts

PL

Artykuł omawia intersekcjonalne przejawy/przedstawienia tożsamości aktywistycznej w internecie. Śledząc działania Evelyn (Eve) C., artykuł rozważa pozycję tak zwanych nowych ekspertów wśród peer-supporterek i blogerek w społecznościach internetowych skupionych na perinatalnym zdrowiu psychicznym i karmieniu piersią. Celem artykułu jest zbadanie wzmacniających możliwości indywidualnych przedstawień złożonych tożsamości aktywi­stów, mogących prowadzić do zwiększenia poparcia dla kolektywnych celów aktywistek za­interesowanych zagadnieniami związanymi ze zdrowiem.

The article looks at the intersectional performances of activist identity online. By tracing the work of Evelyn C., the article considers the position of emergent experts among the peer supporters and bloggers in online communities centred on perinatal mental health and breastfeeding. Through this, it seeks to explore the augmenting possibilities embodied in individual performances of complex activist identities for collective advancement of identity-based health-concerned activist groups.
