In this dissertation I study how postmodernity, and the medium of the era, Internet, condition the feminist advocacy of gender equality in Islam in Malaysia within the context of power-knowledge relation. This dissertation is a product of the interlacement of hermeneutics with the experiences of feminists that are received through in-depth interviews conducted with feminist activists, journalists, communication professionals and academics in Malaysia. In this research, I initially probe the subjugations and powerknowledge relations at play in the consolidation of diverse, non-unitary understandings of feminism and gender equality, and examine feminism's contextualization in Malaysia. Then, I analyze the reshaping of authority over religious knowledge with the emergence of the Internet as an alternative platform to offline arenas. I endeavor to situate 'progressive' feminist advocacies working from within the Islamic framework in Malaysia in this changing landscape of authority. Lastly, in consideration of the Internet's relation with the communication structure in Islam, the Internet's fragmented nature and the disconnections it harbors, I scrutinize the Internet's capacity to accommodate the 'progressive' feminists' claim to power through connecting with a wider audience and disseminating its causes in the postmodern era.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In this dissertation I study how postmodernity, and the medium of the era, Internet, condition the feminist advocacy of gender equality in Islam in Malaysia within the context of power-knowledge relation. This dissertation is a product of the interlacement of hermeneutics with the experiences of feminists that are received through in-depth interviews conducted with feminist activists, journalists, communication professionals and academics in Malaysia. In this research, I initially probe the subjugations and powerknowledge relations at play in the consolidation of diverse, non-unitary understandings of feminism and gender equality, and examine feminism's contextualization in Malaysia. Then, I analyze the reshaping of authority over religious knowledge with the emergence of the Internet as an alternative platform to offline arenas. I endeavor to situate 'progressive' feminist advocacies working from within the Islamic framework in Malaysia in this changing landscape of authority. Lastly, in consideration of the Internet's relation with the communication structure in Islam, the Internet's fragmented nature and the disconnections it harbors, I scrutinize the Internet's capacity to accommodate the 'progressive' feminists' claim to power through connecting with a wider audience and disseminating its causes in the postmodern era.
520 $a Recognizing the conditions created by postmodernity and the Internet's service to the demands of the era -- despite postmodernity's emphasis on questioning established authorities and narratives, and the Internet's promotion as a ground to present marginalized knowledge -- I argue that the deracination of subjugated knowledge, the challenging of authorities and the change in power structure only arrive when a knowledge or a movement gets integrated into and functions in accordance to the late capitalism driven system of postmodernity and adapts to the structure of the Internet. Furthermore, I contend that conducting interpretation under the thumb of the power-knowledge relation results in the subjugation of other knowledge when striving to deracinate the aspired one. Also, there arises new inequalities and power imbalances built on power-knowledge relations. The Internet, as a space harboring these contradictions provides a limited, and, at times, illusionary space to challenge the existent authority structure. It fails to bring about a revolutionary atmosphere where progressive feminists in Malaysia are able to escape subjugation and reach diverse audiences. Moreover, within the complex web of power-knowledge relations, 'progressive' feminists are unable to present their counter-discourses without suffering from or being a part of the creation of further inequalities and power imbalances. Therewithal, I embrace a critical stance against the Internet's unilateral promotion as the platform for empowerment and equality, and the claim that it is an area where differences can be exposed. Accordingly, I aspire to locate both positive developments in the expression of opinions on gender equality in Islam through the Internet and the intricacies inherent in the Internet that appear as progressive and positive, yet beget complications and instigate illusionary connections and progression. I seek to detect opportunities for equality, and derive inequalities contained in equalities provided by the Internet at the same time.
