Resumen de Can the cyborg speak?: from Ms. Frankenstein to Ms. Croft
The secret of life to which we all have gained access is a construct, at least partially, of our own making; a making which women did not create as agents but were just limited to transmit. We will analyse how women have not only been left aside of the construction of the socio-cultural substratum but also of the new becoming cyberspace. This study will begin with the birth date of the cyborgs in literature -Frankenstein- to the popular culture creation of a so called new heroine -Lara Croft. Croft is still created by a dominant discourse which places women into a passive subjectivity. This paper attempts to stress the diverse dystopias and utopias of women's subjectivities in the current cyberspace plus the urge to become its creators.
