Born at 1969 in Tel-Aviv
Lives and work in London and Tel-Aviv
My contribution is an attempt to understand the nature and practical consequences for women of aspects of the technological environment that they have widely experienced as alienating. Technology is frequently presents as part of the masculine realm, and this association contributes to a gendered perception of technology. It seems that it is often the gender of who is using something, and in what ststused context it is being used, that prompts the label "technology". Objects and activities have often been classified as technological or not, according to the gender of the dominant user.This deeply embedded value-hierarchical thinking accords greater value to the higher ("man, culture, minds, reason") and less to the lower ("woman, nature, bodies, emotion").
My argument here is that femininity as a cultural category is constituted partly as a potentiality for receiving and signing the flow of social violences. That the feminine position is constituted as such within a nervous system producing women as victims/ survivors, self mutilators, dysfunctionals and designated crisis. Within that ground of being, to adapt (not to suicide) is to (mal) adapt. And the potentialities of that (mal) adaption are subject to any number of policing and surveillance mechanisms typically organised around suppressing and channelling the relation between memory and affect in the anti production of desire.
My interest in deviancy is to explore representations and regulations of the economised body. A deviant body through the legislative body, that tries to move the body into the space of technology to blur the boundaries between human and inanimate.
Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari have written of the topic of deviancy, that it is necessary to produce successive divergence-types of deviance for everything that eludes biunivocal relationships, and to establish binary relations between what is accepted of first choice and what is only tolerated of second, third choice, etc'...Its not a man and its not a woman, so it must be a transvestite: the binary relation is between the 'no' of the first category and the 'yes' of the following category.
Books that were inspired me for this writing: Identity politics, sexual persis, Mandy Menk. Corporate identity, Wally Olins.
