Stanowisko

The “Cyborg Manifesto” proposes the cyborg – a hybrid of organism and machine, with no origin myth and no innocence – as a figure for a socialist feminism that gives up the dream of a natural, unified female identity. Late-20th-century technology, Haraway argues, has already broken the boundaries between human and animal, organism and machine, and feminists should use that breakdown rather than mourn it: “I would rather be a cyborg than a goddess.” “Situated Knowledges” argues that objectivity cannot mean the “god trick” of seeing everything from nowhere; all vision is embodied and partial, and objectivity consists in joining such partial perspectives. Later books turn to “companion species” and to living in a damaged world.
