- Title
Cultura digital, autoficción, género y precariedad en El entusiasmo de Remedios Zafra.
- Authors
GÓMEZ GARCÍA, IVAN
- Abstract
The writer Remedios Zafra has become a reference point for studies on digital culture in Spain. Zafra has explored how personal identity has been shaped and modified by the impact of the digitization of our daily environments, both leisure and work, and has done so by promoting the gender perspective. To personalize the experience of precariousness, Zafra invents a kind of autofictional double (named Sibila) in her work El entusiasmo: precariedad y trabajo creativo en la era digital (2017). The essayist’s voice and Sibila’s conscience are intertwined throughout a text that contextualizes and dissects that precariousness through complementary tools that come from sociology, economics, and gender studies. The purpose of the article is to critically analyze the mechanisms of this double precariousness from a perspective that integrates complementary tools to those used by Zafra. We will also resort to other works by the author, such as Netianas (2005), Un cuarto propio conectado (2010), (h)adas: mujeres que crean, programan, prosumen, teclean (2013) and the most recent Frágiles (2021), as well as the ideas of other authors who have explored the strong dematerializing component of digital technology, such as Paul Mason (2016) and Éric Sadin (2018), and the risks it entails for the development of the subject.
