A Cyborg Manifesto >>
Donna Haraway
a cyborg manifesto
Donna Haraway's much cited manifesto on the cyborg is part social science
fiction and part feminist appeal to reconfigure our relationship to technology
and emerging rhetorical strategies as we become both more political and
politicized in mechanical culture. She seriously plays with the idea of a
cyborgian entity who is engaged with the society of the spectacle in a way
that challenges our conventional readings of social reality as displayed to us
via all manner of techno-apparatus. Is it the screenal interface that sucks
you in or are you just happy to see me?

[Intro] "The cyborg is resolutely committed to partiality, irony,
intimacy, and perversity. It is oppositional, utopian, and completely without
innocence. No longer structured by the polarity of public and private, the
cyborg defines a technological polls based partly on a revolution of social
relations in the oikos, the household. Nature and culture are reworked; the
one can no longer be the resource for appropriation or incorporation by the
other. The relationships for forming wholes from parts, including those of
polarity and hierarchical domination, are at issue in the cyborg world."
