Man-Made Women: The Sexual Politics of Sex Dolls and Sex Robots: Social and Cultural Studies of Robots and AI
Editat de Kathleen Richardson, Charlotta Odlinden Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 ian 2023
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.

Recenzii
“This is an interesting read for lawmakers, philosophers, writers, and scholars who are working in the area of human rights. Having sex dolls/robots as an alternative to real/physical relations is an interesting argument that makes the book worth reading.” (Lalit Saxena, Computing Reviews, March 21, 2024)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
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.
