Description

Technofeminist Resistance unveils how feminist resistance is evolving in the digital age, transforming from street protests to viral online movements.

It focuses on how feminist artivists are reshaping technology to challenge gender inequalities, and how feminist groups, especially in Greece and the Global South, are creatively using technology not just as a tool, but as a weapon against the systemic oppressions of the technocolonial world. Moreover, it provides an insight into how technofeminist movements are intertwined globally through shared aesthetics and strategies.

The book illuminates the complex relationship between gender and technology, bringing to light the innovative ways in which feminist principles are being integrated into technological advancements, in the context of activist and artistic practices. With its focus on both local and global views, the book aims to be an essential guide into the ways in which technology, gender, and society are being co-mediated and co-produced.
