At the speed of light : cyberfeminism, xenofeminism and the digital ecology of bodies

In this paper we address the question of how feminist thinking might consider the digital transformation of gender and corporeality through a consideration of women's work in electronic literature and text-based digital media art. Central to our task is to elaborate a feminist project through the study of digital art and writing as modes of aesthetic practice. Here we focus specifically on the development of xenofeminism as a contemporary regeneration of the cyberfeminism of the 1990s, and an address to the development and transformation of feminist theories of sexual difference and their relationship to feminist techno- and eco- politics in the present.
