Exploring Somaesthetics and Cyberfeminism: The Body, Technology, and Liberation

This study examines somaesthetics as the critical study of one's body in sensory-aesthetic appreciation and self-fashioning. It explores the relationship between women and technology, as articulated by Sadie Plant, highlighting how cyberfeminism represents an alliance between women and machinery. Plant suggests that the evolution of technology parallels women's liberation, historically linking the advancement of information technology with the progress of women's rights. The impact of artists like Hans Bellmer, Chris Burden, and Stelarc on the perception of the body in modernity is also analyzed, enriching the discourse surrounding these themes.

  1. "Somaesthetics can be provisionally defined as the critical, meliorative study of the experience and use of one's body as a locus of sensory-aesthetic appreciation (aisthesis) and creative self-fashioning." http://www.artsandletters.fau.edu/humanitieschair/somaesthetics.html Richard Shusterman

  2. "Cyberfeminism to me implies an alliance is being developed between women/machinery and the new technology that women are using. (...) To start with I simply used the word 'cyberfeminism' to indicate an alliance. A connection. Then I started research on the history of feminism and the history of technology. It occurred to me a long standing relationship was evident between information technology and women's liberation. You can almost map them onto each other in the whole history of modernity. Just as machines get more intelligent so do women get more liberated. (link to history of this particular lie industrial revolution, witchcraft, loss of 'women's knowledge')"-- Sadie Plant Donna Haroway, A Cyborg Manifesto: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/HPS/Haraway/CyborgManifesto.html
