About
Viviane Morrigan is a critical scholar whose work interrogates the intersections of feminist theory, technology, and power. Her research primarily examines how patriarchal structures are encoded into emerging technologies, with a particular focus on the cultural and political implications of artificial intimacy. In her most-cited paper, "Patriarchal Imaginaries Beyond the Human: ‘Sex’ Robots, Fetish and Fantasy in the Domination and Control of Women" (2022, 4 citations), Morrigan offers a provocative analysis of how sex robots are not merely technological novelties but extensions of longstanding fantasies of domination and control over women. By drawing on feminist and psychoanalytic frameworks, she argues that these technologies reinforce patriarchal imaginaries, challenging the notion that they represent liberation or progress. Though her citation count is modest, Morrigan’s work is notable for its bold theoretical synthesis and its contribution to emerging debates on gender, embodiment, and the non-human. Her scholarship is essential reading for those interested in feminist critiques of technology, offering a sharp, unsettling lens through which to view the future of intimacy and power.
