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

Chapter 7

This chapter of The Xenofeminist Manifesto articulates a feminism adapted to contemporary technological and social realities, emphasizing the strategic use of technology to challenge entrenched gender norms and inequalities. It frames alienation not as a deficit but as a productive condition for constructing freedom and advocates for a rationalist feminism that leverages reason as a tool for emancipation, rejecting essentialist naturalism and patriarchal control over science and technology.
