The Xenofeminist Manifesto: A Politics for Alienation (2018)Laboria Cuboniks

Chapter 11

This chapter from The Xenofeminist Manifesto argues for a radical embrace of technoscience as a means to re-engineer and transform all aspects of existence, including gender and the human condition. It rejects any notion of the sacred or supernatural, positing that nature is fully accessible to scientific inquiry and technological manipulation. The chapter also explores the complex tension between normative values and ontological facts, emphasizing the ongoing challenge of disentangling what ought to be from what is, and how this tension fuels creativity and transformation.
