Abstract
This feminist digital ethnography surveys the contemporary aesthetics and markets of imperialism. By engaging with social media as a critical realm of technocultural performances, I consider how imperialism, race, gender, and capitalism are rearticulated within digital cultures using case studies in influencer economies, boho interior aesthetics, and politics of fashion. To situate my work within existing Ethnic Studies scholarship, I consider historical materialist analysis, Orientalism, and semiotic myth- making.
