Research
My main research explores the intersections of gender, identity, media representation, and feminist theory through the lens of post-humanism. I am particularly interested in how contemporary artists like Barbara Kruger and theorists like Donna Haraway deconstruct traditional notions of gender and identity, critiquing the ways they are constructed and commodified in visual culture. By analyzing influential works such as "Your Body is a Battleground" and "A Cyborg Manifesto," I aim to understand the subversive potential of art and theory in challenging oppressive power structures and envisioning new, liberating forms of existence beyond binary gender norms and biological essentialism. Additionally, I will investigate the ethical implications of these post-human perspectives, particularly in relation to the integration of technology and the human body, as well as the commodification of identity in a media-saturated world. Ultimately, my research seeks to contribute to ongoing discussions on post-humanism, feminism, and the role of art and theory in promoting social and cultural transformation.
