Situated Knowledges (Wiedze usytuowane)

Wprowadzenie

The essay, published in Feminist Studies in 1988, began as a response to Sandra Harding’s The Science Question in Feminism. Haraway steers between two positions she rejects: the claim of traditional science to a view from nowhere, which she calls the “god trick”, and a relativism for which all views are equal. Her alternative is feminist objectivity as situated knowledge: accountable, partial vision from a particular body and place, which can be linked with other partial views. The metaphor of vision runs through the essay, from microscopes and satellite cameras to the eyes of other animals. It is among the most cited texts in science and technology studies.
