Abstract

The “knowledge society” codes a politic wich, instead of adapt to new production requirements, promises economic wealth and social equality. Talking about gender, the “digital divide” rethoric and the technological inclusion of women have the effect of masking the patriarcal values of societies and their capitalist domination axis. This text reviews technofeminist literature to extract some principles wich should include a technofeminist agenda, and explores the possibility of articulation with transgresive codes and practices in the technological, audiovisual and subjective fields.
