Donna J. Haraway“A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century”
1) Cyborg = metaphor for hybrid state of feminism and reality • “Leaky boundaries” should be embraced…responsibly
2) Identity politics disrupted in favor of postmodern coalition • Anti-essentialist • Pro-“oppositional consciousness”
3) Simultaneously embraces and cautions against technoscience • “New technologies”… toward domination? Or blasphemous liberation via coalition? • We must understand both perspectives at once
4) Requires regeneration, not rebirth “I’d rather be a cyborg than a goddess.”
