Summary/Abstract: I would like to start with a theoretical-political positioning of feminist theory and practice and subsequently deal with the relationship between philosophy and cyberfeminism. The idea of taking a conceptually specific stand is in order to philosophically identify and articulate a position specific to Eastern Europe. This desire does not grow out of the identity politics game as used by certain feminists to legitimize their right to colonize cyberspace; rather, it is a militant response to this constant process of fragmentation and particularization. Furthermore, I insist on the re-politicization of the cyberworld by taking a stance that is based neither on a geographical space nor on a location on the map of the “New Europe” but is, as E. Said would say, a concept.
