"Somaesthetics can be provisionally defined as the critical, meliorative study of the experience and use of one's body as a locus of sensory-aesthetic appreciation (aisthesis) and creative self-fashioning."http://www.artsandletters.fau.edu/humanitieschair/somaesthetics.html

"Cyberfeminism to me implies an alliance is being developed between women/machinery and the new technology that women are using. (...) To start with I simply used the word 'cyberfeminism' to indicate an alliance. A connection. Then I started research on the history of feminism and the history of technology. It occurred to me a long standing relationship was evident between information technology and women's liberation. You can almost map them onto each other in the whole history of modernity. Just as machines get more intelligent so do women get more liberated. (link to history of this particular lie industrial revolution, witchcraft, loss of 'women's knowledge')"-- Sadie Plant
