Sadie Plant

Sadie Plant (2012)

Sadie Plant (born March 18, 1964 in Birmingham , England ) is a British philosopher, cultural theorist and author.

Life and works

Plant received her PhD in Philosophy from Manchester University in 1989 and subsequently taught at the Department of Cultural Studies ( Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies until 2002 ) at Birmingham University before moving to Warwick University .

In 1997 Plant left Warwick University. She has published various articles since then.

Her original research interest was in the Situationist International before she turned to the social and political potential of cyber technologies. Her publications in the 1990s were groundbreaking for the further development of cyber feminism. In particular, her book “Zeros and Ones, Digital Women and the New Technoculture”, published in 1997, is still very well received in this context.

With reference to pioneers such as Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper, she draws a connection between women and technology-oriented professions (telephone operators, typewriters, programmers, ...), whereby these represent the "0" in binary coding, but with Plant in a mythologically transferred sense must be read as "0-ther" or "other".
