The Body As Metaphor: Rosi Braidotti

Seduced & Abandoned: The Body in the Virtual World was one of a series of ICA conferences (spanning 12-13 March in 1994) held under the umbrella title Towards the Aesthetics of the Future that explored the connections between culture, society, politics and the impact upon them of new digital processes and technologies. In this selection, Rosi Braidotti, Professor of Women’s Studies at the University of Utrecht, proposes a cyberfeminism that gives rise to a rethinking of gender, class and race within the context of virtual reality and cyberspace Digitisation supported by Virtual Futures http://virtualfutures.co.uk Extra title music by Vapor Lanes https://vaporlanes.bandcamp.com/ Review of the proceedings http://www.independent.co.uk/extras/i...
