Portrait of Daniella Gati

My work examines how texts in human and computer languages shape the narratives that societies tell themselves about the world: about social groups, individual identities, and human relationships. How do texts circulate online to determine how we understand what it means to be queer and trans? How do algorithms shape who gets to say what, or see what, online? And how do these social formations depend on the different cultural and algorithmic conditions across different internet ecologies around the globe? My current book project, entitled A Queer Theory of AI and Algorithmic Knowledge, examines how artificial intelligence algorithms reshape how we create and what we understand as knowledge, and criticizes AI’s epistemological project from a queer theoretical point of view. My scholarly writings have appeared in journals such as Critical Quarterly, Journal of Narrative Theory, and Eludamos: Journal for Computer Game Culture.
