A Cyborg Manifesto
Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century
Book • 1985
In 'A Cyborg Manifesto,' Donna Haraway introduces the concept of the cyborg as a hybrid of machine and organism, challenging traditional dichotomies such as nature/culture, mind/body, and idealism/materialism.
The essay argues that the cyborg represents a new ontology that blurs these boundaries, offering a postmodern and posthuman perspective that rejects essentialism and promotes a non-essentialized, material-semiotic understanding.
Haraway sees the cyborg as a symbol of resistance and a tool for feminist and socialist politics, emphasizing the importance of partial, ironic, and intimate identities in a world where technology increasingly mediates human experience.
