QUESTION OF IDENTITY IN CURT VONNEGUT’S HARRISON BERGERON AND HANIF KUREISHI’S THE BODY WITHIN DONNA HARAWAY’S POSTMODERN THEORY CYBORG MANIFESTO

Summary/Abstract: Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifosto is one of the most influential texts in the field of feminist theory, high-tech technology, and post-humanism theory. She analyses the processes of technologiying contemporary culture and life paying special attention to women and their relation to modern technology. Identities of human beings and animals are being blended in the world of high-tech domination over people as well as the identities of human beings and machines. The result is creation of a new species which Donna Haraway called cyborgs. In this process boarders are being deleted among these entities, too. The aim of this paper is to examine how the question of identity is treated in Curt Vonnegut’s short story Harrison Bergeron and Hanif Kureishi’s novella The Body analyzing Donna Haraways’s text. We come to the conclusion that in the world we are living in today, identities are constantly being changed and combined among different entities. As a result of such activities, we gеt artificial equalities that reduce identities and create obedient human slaves.
