Digital Fissures: Genders, Bodies, Technologies is a transnational transfeminist exploration into the ways technologies, bodies and identities cohabitate. The collection explores how radical approaches to the cyber and the cyborg are transforming how we inhabit and think about identity-defining categories like gender and sexuality.

From rethinking feminist archives, to inserting postpornography in academia, to approaching sex toys from a transpositive perspective, to dismantling the foundations of techno-capitalism, the areas of inquiry in this book are lenses through which to explore the relationships between genders, bodies and technologies. All the various chapters work to reimagine the body as a hybrid, malleable and subversive source of potentiality. These essays offer readers road maps for unimagined and uncharted social scapes: the relationship between bodies–technologies–genders means working within a space of monstrosity. Through this embodied discomfort the book questions existing techno-social norms, and imagines tranfeminist futures.
