Sarah Kember Bücher

A major work of feminist critical theory challenging the masculinist politics of digital media forms, practices and study.

Focusing on the intersection of life and technology, the book critically examines how contemporary technoscientific culture redefines life as information. It explores themes such as genomics, artificial life, and their influence across various domains including art, literature, and commerce. By analyzing cloning, computer games, and the interplay between hardware, software, and 'wetware,' the author, Sarah Kember, reveals the connections between this niche field and broader global information networks.

Exploring queer feminist writing strategies like parody and irony, this work examines how these techniques can challenge and subvert the sexism inherent in technology and materials. It delves into the interplay between structure and scale, as well as critique and creativity, to reveal new possibilities for understanding and engaging with the world. The book invites readers to rethink the relationship between gender, technology, and artistic expression, offering fresh insights into contemporary feminist discourse.
