Description
Xenofeminism: A Politics for Alienation is a thought-provoking exploration of how feminism can be reimagined in the face of accelerating technological change. Helen Hester, a key figure in the Laboria Cuboniks collective, develops a three-part definition of xenofeminism that draws on concepts of technomaterialism, anti-naturalism, and gender abolitionism. Hester examines the relationship between reproduction and futurity, and considers how assistive reproductive technologies might be reconfigured to support alternative models of reproduction. This book is a challenging and iconoclastic vision for a future-oriented gender politics that can facilitate new possibilities for human flourishing. By exploring the intersection of technology, materiality, and gender, Xenofeminism offers a compelling and forward-thinking perspective on the potential of feminism in the 21st century.
