Elisabeth von Samsonow asserts that focusing on the girl’s escape from the Oedipus complex leads to a fundamental shift in our most common views on media and art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresenting an interpretation of contemporary technics, \u003ci\u003eAnti-Electra\u003c\/i\u003e argues that technology today encompasses Electra’s gadgets and toys. According to von Samsonow, satellite drive technologies such as wireless telephones, WLAN, and GPS echo the “preoedipal constellation” 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 “radical totemism.” \u003ci\u003eAnti-Electra\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54026014130520,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781517907136.jpg?v=1780113628","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/anti-electra-the-radical-totem-of-the-girl","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
