Abstract

This article is an attempt to map how feminist studies approach experiences between humans and robots in the fields of semiotics, cultural studies, and critical theory. The author delves into the theories, speculations, and accounts of observation
(where the body of the observer tends to be included) in research on artificial intelligence and cybernetic culture. The paper seeks to relate conversations, continuities, and gaps between interpretations of the relationship between humans and robots, human and posthuman, and the cracks in the codes when approaching this border region. To what extent do gender relations and otherness acquire relevance in cybercultural debates?
