dc.description.abstract | The thesis focuses on the critical relationship between feminist theory and contemporary art as a way to resist the hold of biopower over individuals’ lives. It tries to reflect on embodied ways to resist and/or live outside of the grip of large data-mining cooperations and the daily violence this entails. While addressing the relationship between biopower and contemporary art, the research tries to grapple with the tension between academia and feminism, and their biopolitical implications through the usage of fragmentation as a creative methodology that emerges via intermezzos of first-person narration that critically evaluate the thesis writing process. | |
