[Autonogram] 11/9: Tactical Cyberfeminism in NYC

[Ben at Autonomedia]

Hello, everyone --

I know you all are scattered around the globe, so I apologize for 
provoking envy in those of you not close to New York City with this 
announcement.

Faith Wilding, co-editor of our recent title "Domain Errors! 
Cyberfeminist Practices", will be giving a talk and video 
presentation this Sunday night at Bluestockings Bookstore in 
Manhattan, addressing the question that's been on everyone's mind 
lately: What is Tactical Cyberfeminism?

The book -- part performative intervention, part radical polemic and 
activist manual -- introduces a diverse international group of 
feminist writers, artists, theorists, and activists engaged in 
formulating a contestational politics for tactical cyberfeminism, 
highlighting intersections of feminist and postcolonial discourses 
through critical analyses of the embodied politics of digital 
culture. Opening areas repressed in previous cyberfeminist 
discourses, the authors map contemporary social relations between 
women as they are mediated and transformed by digital and 
bio-technologies.

Bluestockings is at 172 Allen Street, a block and change south of 
Houston, telephone 212-777-6028, and the event will be from 7-9pm, 
Sunday November 9.

That's pretty much it for now. Thanks to everyone who came out to the 
bookfairs in October and said hello; it was inspiring to meet so many 
people doing small press book and activist work on such diverse 
fronts. Keep it moving!

bests,
