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

Summary/Abstract: Feminist theorists argue that the processes of science and technology are not neutral, but inherently value-laden. Technological advances and scientific findings may marginalize certain groups, while positively effecting others. Consequently, it is important to raise problems that may remain in the background if we only concentrate on the positive effects. Haraways’ article, the Cyborg Manifesto, analyses this problematic relationship from a feminist point of view. Since, according to her, we all are cyborgs – that is our body is a nod of complicated and extended technological networks – it is no use refusing technology in the hope of the return to a more natural state, as various branches of feminism have suggested. By introducing the notion of cyborg, the author intends to characterise the contemporary female existence and at the same time to establish a new identity-politics connecting different branches of feminism.
