Synopsis "Man-Made Women: The Sexual Politics of sex Dolls and sex Robots (in English)"
This book presents a unique, feminist approach to 'sex' dolls and 'sex' robots, taking a critical look at the academic and business narratives that serve to rationalise them. As new forms of pornography (porn robots), this edited volume provides an urgent women's centred critique. The emergence of 'sex' robots is situated within the wider context of the attack on women's rights and the relentless rise of techno-pornography. As an outgrowth of the industries of prostitution, pornography and child sex abuse, these objects offer new ways to dehumanise women and girls. While support for 'sex' robots is positioned as progressive and emancipatory, the contributors in this volume argue they reduce women to consumable parts. They explore how law, the arts, ethics, economy, politics and culture are interconnected with harmful technological developments.
