GLITCH FEMINISM: A MANIFESTO

Book ID/图书代码： 13850020C00009

English Summary/英文概要： Glitch Feminism: A Manifesto

A new manifesto for cyberfeminism! Simone de Beauvoir said, “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.” The glitch announces: One is not born, but rather becomes, a body.

The divide between the digital and the real world no longer exists: we are connected all the time. What must we do to work out who we are, and where we belong? How do we find the space to grow, unite and confront the systems of oppression? This conflict can be found in the fissures between the body, gender and identity. Too often, the glitch is considered a mistake, a faulty overlaying, a bug in the system; in contrast, Russell compels us to find liberation here. In a radical call to arms, Legacy Russell argues that we need to embrace the glitch in order to break down the binaries and limitations that define gender, race, sexuality.

Glitch Feminism is a vital new chapter in cyberfeminism, one that explores the relationship between gender, technology and identity. In an urgent manifesto, Russell reveals the many ways that the glitch performs and transforms: how it refuses, throws shade, ghosts, encrypt, mobilises and survives. Developing the argument through memoir, art and critical theory, Russell also looks at the work of contemporary artists who travel through the glitch in their work. Timely and provocative, Glitch Feminism shows how an error can be a revolution.

西蒙波娃說：「一個女人不是生而為女人，而是成為了一個女人(One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.)」

而雜訊女性主義則說：「一個身體不是被生來如此，而是成為如此。(One is not born, but rather becomes, a body.)」

在這個網路時代，本書為網路女性主義（cyberfeminism）提出最新的大膽宣言。

當網路與真實世界的界線不再存在，當我們不論何時都處於「上線」的狀態，我們又該如何理解我們是誰？我們屬於哪裡？我們該如何在一個壓迫的系統中拓展空間、團結在一起並與之對抗？這些衝突可能發生在任何關於身體、性別與認同的裂縫之中。當網路看似已充滿女性主義、酷兒與性少數的發聲，當主流媒體看似已經讓渡了一塊空間給予同志的現身，現在正是審視這些被呈現出來的形象的時候，在符合世人審美期待的白種、光鮮亮麗的身體形象背後，還有多少是還沒有被看見的？

「雜訊」（GLITCH）往往被視作是一種偶發的錯誤、一種系統中的bug、一種機制失靈，但在本書中，Russell翻轉了雜訊的定義，引領我們看到正是雜訊的概念，可以帶我們拓展自由和解放，我們要擁抱雜訊，才能真正破除二元化加諸種族、性別、性認同的限制。

本書是網路女性主義最具活力的全新聲音，作者以一位藝術家與專業策展人的眼光，帶領我們探索當代性別、科技與認同的關係，以及「雜訊」可以如何在主流宰制的場域去創造否認、嘲弄、消滅、轉譯、動員和生存空間。她透過自身的經驗、她的藝術及批評理論，以及當代藝術家的作品來論證。一本即時且大膽的宣言，展示了雜訊可以如何掀起變革。 (Zoe)

A new manifesto for cyberfeminism

“Our software and our wetware are constantly glitching. How could it be otherwise? Rather than try for perfect order, let’s embrace the glitch and find out how else it all could play out. Let’s just admit we’re done with the old empire of imperatives about both flesh and tech and tune in to those who are playing in the ruins, hacking their way through to another life. This book takes you there.” —McKenzie Wark, author of Capital Is Dead

“Glitch Feminism offers wry insights into the opportunities inherent in the implications of formerly discarded traces of both ourselves and our culture. This fascinating, profound and engrossing book places Legacy Russell as one of the more provocative, radical and original thinkers of her generation.” —Lynn Hershman Leeson, artist and filmmaker

“Russell helps us understand that the components of our identity are in fact technologies. Glitch Feminism offers a powerful shift in mindset that empowers a generation of activist remixers.” —Lil Miquela

“‘A glitch is an error, a mistake and a failure to function,’ and with this warning, Legacy Russell takes us on a lightening tour through the terminologies and theories of AFK, IRL, Glitch Ghosts, Digital Dualism, Binary Bodies, and other markers in the current lingo of on-line criticism. She translates the Internet world as she lives it right now. Russell is an important writer to follow as she points out shifting viewpoints of Internet politics in real time.” —RoseLee Goldberg, Director of Performa

“A timely rethinking of cyberfeminism from an intersectional perspective—a deeply personal investigation of blackness and queerness in and through technology. This erudite, vividly-rendered text weaves astute discussions of contemporary artistic practices with personal narrative, capital-T Theory, and virtuosic riffs on twenty-first-century slanguage.” —Mark Tribe, founder of Rhizome

“Glitch Feminism offers technological failure, machinic anxiety, and seams in the interface as the very platforms from which we may begin to rework singular identities into inventive networks, proposing a reboot of feminist discourse. While channeling the boldness of the manifesto form, Legacy Russell offers a nuanced look at inspiring artists whose works reprogram systems of race, gender, and sexuality in the virtual places between living bodies and data bodies. Here, the paradox is the opportunity: the glitch shows you how things work, just as they don’t.” —Malik Gaines
