Xenofemminismo

XENOFEMINISM (XF) — an accelerationist theoretical current that rejects any naturalization of gender and the body, instead claiming technology, abstraction, and artifice as terrain for liberation. The prefix "xeno-" (foreign, alien) signals a programmatic refusal of identitarian rootedness: no essence to defend, no "natural" to preserve — only material to be re-engineered. Formulated by the collective Laboria Cuboniks (six transnational authors, never physically gathered during the writing process), the manifesto positions itself explicitly against "green"/naturalist feminism and against primitivism, instead claiming a lineage running through Donna Haraway's cyborg feminism and the left-accelerationism theorized in the same years by Srnicek and Williams. The link to the hyperstitional apparatus: XF treats gender itself as an artifact — a social technology that, being constructed, is by definition reprogrammable. The same logic by which a fiction can become infrastructure (hyperstition) is applied to the body and identity: if gender is code, it can be refactored. Signal detected in: debates on reproductive and hormonal technologies as tools of self-determination, critique of bio-essentialism in queer/trans discourse, intersections with feminist science fiction (Octavia Butler, James Tiptree Jr.). STATUS: the manifesto is still actively cited in academic and artistic contexts; the HIGH risk rating reflects its explicitly programmatic nature — it does not describe, it prescribes political action.
