Ïan LarueLibère-toi cyborg ! : le pouvoir transformateur de la science-fiction féministe

Bye Bye Binary’s selection for their storefront.

A mix of SF and intimate and political gender issues, cyborg and transformative. An inspiring interlude is dedicated to : “degendered the french language”.

“Gynoids, witches, vampires, bitches and lab mice: all are linked to Donna Haraway’s cyborg.

Taking up the list of feminist science fiction authors cited at the end of the Cyborg Manifesto, Ïan Larue redefines this founding figure in the philosopher’s thought: “The cyborg is the black slave who learns to read in an Octavia Butler novel; the encapsulated girl who, far from feeling handicapped, knows thousands of connections; the girl-orc transported to the stars. The cyborg is the ultimate hybrid, a hybrid between a real woman and a character in a novel who is superimposed on her to endow her with a thousand new possibilities, including the fundamental one of breaking up capitalism, family and patriarchy.”
