In this thesis I demonstrate how patriarchy, capitalism and white supremacy are subverted in the work of queer feminist artists, contributing to a holistic vision of political engagement aligned with craft ethics and the principle of maintenance. Social media use is read through the lenses of enthusiasm and ambivalence, with a focus on how the neoliberal logic of corporate platforms is undermined by artists and users alike. Through an emphasis on labour, I foreground the question of whether and in what contexts Marxist tools of analysis are elastic enough to encompass other historically situated forms of oppression than those that focus solely on class, drawing from a body of work on Marxist feminist theory. I begin with a theoretical chapter that maps the contours of online engagement through social media by queer and feminist artists, focusing on the conditions of capture that render users into units of profit, and the principle of becoming, encompassing that which draws users to platforms to express themselves and build community. I then shift to the Parker Bright's intervention at the 2017 Whitney Biennial, in which protest and performance art coalesced in the disruption of the reproduction of an historic image of black suffering by a white artist. Finally, I turn towards the web-based project Queering the Map, demonstrating what enthusiasm can do to animate queer life online. The kind of labour that goes into instigating and maintaining discourses for racial and gender justice on social media is often elided; taken as natural or given. This obfuscation gets to the heart of the way in which forms of protest and community building are seen as defensive and inevitable rather than constructive and spontaneous.

520 $a Cette these demontre la facon par laquelle le patriarcat, le capitalisme, et la suprematie blanche sont subvertis par le travail des artistes feministes"queer" qui contribuent a une vision holistique de l'engagement politique liee a l'ethique artisanale au principe de "l'art de maintenance." L'utilisation des medias sociaux est lue a travers le prisme de l'enthousiasme et de l'ambivalence, en mettant l'accent sur la facon dont la logique neoliberale des plateformes numeriques commerciales est sapee par les artistes ainsi que les utilisateurs. En mettant l'accent sur le travail, je mets en avant la question de savoir si et dans quels contextes les outils d'analyse marxistes sont suffisamment elastiques pour englober d'autres formes d'oppression historiquement situees que celles qui se concentrent uniquement sur la classe, en m'inspirant d'un corpus de travaux sur la theorie feministe marxiste. Je commence par un chapitre theorique qui cartographie les contours de l'engagement en ligne a travers les medias sociaux par des artistes queer et feministes, en se concentrant sur les conditions de "capture" qui transforment les utilisateurs en unites de profit, et le principe de "becoming" ("devenir"), englobant ce qui attire les utilisateurs vers des plateformes comme lieu ou ils/elles peuvent s'exprimer et batir des collectivites. Je passe ensuite a l'intervention de Parker Bright a la Whitney Biennial de 2017, dans laquelle la protestation et la performance se sont unis pour perturber la circulation d'une image historique de la souffrance des Noirs par un artiste blanc.Enfin, je me tourne vers le projet en ligne Queering the Map,qui montre ce que l'enthousiasme peut faire pour animer la vie queer en ligne. Le type de travail qui consiste a initier et a maintenir des discours pour la justice raciale et de genre sur les medias sociaux est souvent elude, considere comme naturel ou acquis. Cet obscurcissement est au coeur de la maniere dont les formes de protestation et de construction communautaire sont considerees comme defensives et inevitables plutot que constructives et spontanees.
