Techno-ecology of gender: the feminist studies in computer science, organizations and design of technologies

This paper is an overview of the feminist studies in computer science and technologies and, in particular, on the feminine perspectives of the relational foundations of reality, of an "embodied knowledge", which mediate the interactions with and the interpretations of the world. The feminist studies about the sociality with objects, the interactions in socio-technical systems, the new materialism, and a technology design more oriented to situated practices become complementary stances to the strong, abstract, rational and deterministic computer science, and critical tools in the relations between masculine and feminine in the organizations and with the everyday technologies.
