1	Cyborg Subject or Transformable Avatars? : A Study of Power, Body and Identity in Post-cyberfeminist Art Mogren, Ida January 2023 (has links) This essay examines the body in post-cyberfeminist art to study possible changes in how the body is perceived in the shift from cyberfeminist to post-cyberfeminist art. I have studied the body by examining power and identity in four cases of post-cyberfeminist art, using postmodern feminist theories and concepts such as gender, gender performativity, heterosexual matrix and intersectionality. The essay consists of image, moving image and textual analysis and two shorter comparative analyses. In the first comparative analysis, I have compared the four cases of post-cyberfeminist art with each other. In the second analysis, I focus on a comparative analysis between the four cases of post-cyberfeminist art and earlier cyberfeminist projects. In the discussion, I present my results and elaborate on a possible shift in how the body's materiality is viewed within digital landscapes of post-cyberfeminist art. I argue that the cyborg, central to the earlier cyberfeminist project, might have been replaced by transformable avatars. cyborg avatar cyberfeminism post-cyber feminism cyberfeminist art post-cyberfeminist art glitch performativity digital performativity queer theory gender studies art history Art History Konstvetenskap Cultural Studies Kulturstudier Gender Studies Genusstudier Media and Communications Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap
