In a world of socio-political catastrophes, violent suppression of rights and freedoms, oppressive state machines and covert control tac- tics, attempts are being made to fnd soft tactics of resistance, non-vi- olent forms of confrontation that would allow to overcome the existing patriarchal order and reveal neo-colonial practices. The digital environ- ment can be not only a tool for the production of machines of total cont- rol or the maintenance of the capitalist order of consumption. They can also serve as a tool for soft, nonviolent resistance to rigid structures, cre- ating emancipatory tools for overcoming oppressive power relations and transforming the socio-political environment into a more inclusive, open structure. The article also attempts to return to the discussion about the critical potential of the theory of cyberfeminism, which not only analyzes the social and political, but also revises information technologies from the point of view of their emancipatory potential. Keywords: cyberfeminism, digital technologies, utopian future, soft tac- tics of resistance, new ontology, political imagination.
