"Netianas" by Remedios Zafra


"Netianas" is yet a contemporany classic in some forums. Very well crafted by Remedios Zafra, the book try to analyzed how we built (perform) gender on the net. By the Netiana myth she talk to us about different shapes of doing gender on the web. How the women confront the male hierarchy with the web media (that is rhizomatic).

Zafra, I think, isn't a idealistic that believe that the web will be the ultimate frontier when all the patriarchy will fall down. The web, in opposition to It said some old theoretical, don't broke the stablishment: Far away from this, web perpetue the gender roles. And this is very worrying.

In other way I'm a little boring about "post" prefix. (post)modernism, (post)human, (post)gender. Post is the thing that comes after another who is fix in our language. In that way I don't really believe in the posthuman thing. Posthuman is that thing after the human thing. Human is something undone yet. Human thing never will done in all the feature. It's undone by definition. I don't believe that a cyborg, or a cybernetic thing, or an alter ego on internet is a posthuman, or something posthuman.

Anyway, I great study very well written.
