Technofeminist Resistance: Aesthetics and Strategies of Dissent from the Streets to the Screens
Autor Christina Grammatikopoulouen Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 apr 2026
It focuses on how feminist 'artivists' are reshaping technology to challenge gender inequalities, and how feminist groups, especially in Greece and the Global South, are creatively using technology not just as a tool, but as a weapon against the systemic oppressions of the technocolonial world. Moreover, it provides an insight into how technofeminist movements are intertwined globally through shared aesthetics and strategies.
The book illuminates the complex relationship between gender and technology, bringing to light the innovative ways in which feminist principles are being integrated into technological advancements, in the context of activist and artistic practices. With its focus on both local and global views, the book aims to be an essential guide into the ways in which technology, gender, and society are being co-mediated and co-produced.

Recenzii
In her fascinating journey into technofeminist resistances 'from the streets to the screens,' Christina Grammatikopoulou offers much more than a panoramic vista of contemporary trans-feminist mobilizations against the digitized regimes of intersecting patriarchal, capitalist, colonial and anthropocentric power. Combining cutting-edge research and empirical detail with critical depth and theoretical sophistication, she illuminates the richly diverse, locally grounded but also ground-breaking, paths that trans-feminisms have blazed in intersectional struggles across the globe in order to not only contest but also to overcome these intertwined systems of oppression by configuring new worlds of freedom in common and in plurality, for all lives on earth. Working their ways through bodies, affects, art, infrastructures, performances, digital technologies, critical data collection, glitter and imagination, the practices of resistance and new construction care-fully explored in this inspiring book do not only nourish hope for a better future; they stage a multiplicity of eutopias that pave ways towards such a future. In the last ten years, very few books have managed to capture this protean political creation of transfeminist agency and to convey it so vividly, empathetically and thoughtfully in the same breath.
Leaving academia to join street protests, online activism, self-organization, and artistic practice makes Grammatikopoulou's research unique: both in its methodological approach and in its expansion of the concept of aesthetics toward collectively envisioning better (technofeminist) futures. Bringing all of this back into the academic world makes it a commendable and courageous contribution to new knowledge that is truly feminist and contemporary in the way it combines theory and practice.
