Abstract

The authoress discusses in this article the privilege of the cyborg body from a critical view of the links between cybernetics and the Manifiesto Cyborg (1984), by Donna Haraway. It also questions cyberfeminism as a contemporary media of collective action and proposes to look over the grammars from interacting and making communication. Finally, and from the concepts of artivism and political art it postulates the need to think of performance as a space for feminist advocacy, an aesthetic experience and a form of alternative communication through bodies.
