| book description |

A close examination of the relationship between media, art, and the â€œElectra complexâ€ The feminist counterpart to Deleuze and Guattariâ€™s Anti-Oedipus, Anti-Electra is a philosophy of â€œthe girlâ€ as a model of contemporary transgressive subjectivity. Elisabeth von Samsonow asserts that focusing on the girlâ€™s escape from the Oedipus complex leads to a fundamental shift in our most common views on media and art. Presenting an interpretation of contemporary technics, Anti-Electra argues that technology today encompasses Electraâ€™s gadgets and toys. According to von Samsonow, satellite drive technologies such as wireless telephones, WLAN, and GPS echo the â€œpreoedipal constellationâ€ that the girl specializes in. And with the help of the girl, the cartography of overlapping zones between humankind and animals, as well as between humankind and apparatuses, is redesigned through what the book holds as a â€œradical totemism.â€ Anti-Electra ultimately offers a new view on gender, the contemporary world dyed by symbolic girlism, and the (universal) girl in critical dialogue with media, ecology, and society.
