Wow, Donna Haraway, she seems way ahead and back already. Thank you for this introduction to the Cyborg manifesto. Really hot stuff.
aaargh, where are my comments!
She suggests Christianity as an influence. Obvious for technoscience, and flippantly might I point out dog>shepherd> christ/crook/cross? Her criterion might be cultural ubiquity.
Think in both cases she’s concerned with how we deal ideologically now with extensions of our identity/sociality outside the coherent, conventional human body through shared trip/tropes. Maybe within the pursuit of questions dealing with this issue she selects for cultural ubiquity.
ultra awesome!
I think this last part of the video is important.
Haraway makes choices about where to locate herself. In doing so she must apply a general and undisclosed theory to guide that choice.
Haraway’s choice of Marxist-feminist value systems too reflect this undisclosed theory.
What is the point in radical discription of signifiers that are arbitrarily chosen? Why choose dog-human and technoscience over bird-human and state?
Does Haraway have an answer to this?
