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?

[from the site:]
"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."
