Cyberfeminism Index \n \nIn Cyberfeminism Index, hackers,
academics, artists and activists from all regions, races and
sexual orientations reflect on how humans can
rebuild through technology. When we study the history of
the internet, we are taught to focus on the engineering, the complex
military-industrial and the grandfathers who created architecture and
protocol, but the Internet is not just a network of cables, servers
and computers. It is an environment that shapes and is shaped by its
inhabitants and their use. \n \nThe creation and use of the index of
Cyberfeminism is a social and political act. It takes the name of
cyberfeminism as an umbrella, complicates it and highlights it. Edited by
Mindy Seu, designer, professor and researcher, it includes more than 700
short entries on radical technocritical activism in a variety of
media, including excerpts from academic articles and scholarly texts,
descriptions of hackerspaces, digital rights activist groups
and bio-hacktivism, as well as representations of feminist net art and
the art of new media. \n \nBoth an essential introduction for
laypeople and a solid resource guide for educators, Cyberfeminism
Index - an anti-canon, in a way - celebrates the multiplicity of practices
which fall under this imperfect categorization and make the origins visible
long ignored by cyberfeminism and its vast legacy.
