Edited by Corne­lia Soll­frank

The Beau­ti­ful Warri­ors. Tech­no­fe­mi­nist Prac­tice in the 21^stCenturybrings toget­her seven current tech­no­fe­mi­nist posi­ti­ons from the fields of art and acti­vism. In very diffe­rent ways, they expand the theo­ries and prac­ti­ces of 1990’s cyber­fe­mi­nism and thus react to new forms of discri­mi­na­tion and exploi­ta­tion. Gender poli­tics are nego­ti­a­ted with refe­rence to tech­no­logy, and ques­ti­ons of tech­no­logy are combi­ned with ques­ti­ons of ecology and economy. The diffe­rent posi­ti­ons around this new techno-eco-femi­nism unders­tand their prac­tice as an invi­ta­tion to take up their social and aest­he­tic inter­ven­ti­ons, to join in, to conti­nue, and never give up.

Contri­bu­ti­ons from Chris­tina Gram­ma­ti­ko­pou­lou, Isabel de Sena, Femke Snel­ting, Corne­lia Soll­frank, Spide­ra­lex, Sophie Toupin, hvale vale, Yvonne Volkart.
