Lecture by Helen Hester

Engineers or Hackers? Technological Systems and Political Change

Lecture on the XF Manifesto Xenofe minism. A Politics for Alienation, which reconsiders the feminist political project. The XF Manifesto, published simultaneously in thirteen languages in 2015 by Laboria Cuboniks, advocates the strategic use of existing technologies to completely redesign the world, and in her latest work, Xenofeminism (Polity, 2018), Hester underscores the main theoretical ideas in the Manifesto: anti-naturalism, technomaterialism and gender abolitionism.
