VANTIN, SERENA. Doing and Undoing Legal Subjectivity. A Reflection on Bodies and Technology from Shulamith Firestone to Donna Haraway. []. , 52, pp.279-298.   25--2023. ISSN 0122-9893.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01229893.n52.09.

This paper aims at presenting a critical reflection on legal subjectivity, focusing on the impact that technology has on feminist legal issues. In particular, after a general overview on women in technology and women and technology, Shulamith Firestone's and Donna Haraway's perspectives will be discussed. The first one will lead to the "construction" of the legal subject, on the basis of a voluntary and rational (individual) act; the second view will lead, instead, to the "deconstruction" of the legal subjectivity itself. Some final considerations will emphasise the implications that the critical reflections on bodies, technologies and subjectivity have on the theory of law and its purposes.

: Technology; bodies; legal subjectivity; Shulamith Firestone; Donna Haraway.
