A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century

by Donna J. Haraway

Description

In this influential essay, Donna J. Haraway uses the cyborg—a hybrid of organism and machine—as a provocative metaphor for rethinking identity, embodiment, and power in a technologically shaped world. Challenging rigid boundaries between human and animal, organism and machine, and nature and culture, she critiques essentialist ideas of gender and traditional feminist politics. Drawing on socialist-feminist theory, science studies, and critiques of technoscience, the work advocates imaginative, coalition-based approaches to social change. Bold, challenging, and intellectually original, it remains a landmark text in feminist theory and the study of technology and culture.
