Tecno corpi e vie di fuga postumane

This essay raises the question of the contradictions that affect the status of the subject in the contemporary era. It starts from the theoretical assumption, common to the philosophical generation of French poststructuralism, that the subject is never ‘one’ but always multiple. A review is then undertaken of the theoretical contributions of neo materialist feminism, which, referring to the genealogies of Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault, has tried to describe the metamorphosis of subjectivity in the age of biotechnology. In particular, the essay will focus on the cartographies of Rosi Braidotti and the figurations of Donna Haraway, thinkers who analyse the effects of technoscience on contemporary embodied subjectivities. In conclusion, the emphasis is on the political transformative dimension of their respective schools of thought, and on its ability to offer non dualist and anti elitist conceptual tools, such as the cyborg and nomadic subjectivity
