A Cyborg Manifesto Donna Haraway 🎧📖 Audiobook

After addressing the existence of the cyborg, "a creature of both social reality and fiction," the book suggests the inevitability of its presence at the center of feminist thought. According to the author, this opens up enormous potential for a cyborg feminism that takes into account previous socialist thought and does not rely on the natural matrix, such as the thinking of the politics of difference. This social-feminist theory seeks to maintain a global vision, taking into account the ongoing industrial revolution that is creating a new working class, new sexualities, and new ethnicities, radically challenging the symbolic system of the human family. A Cyborg Manifesto" (1985) uses the cyborg—a hybrid of machine and organism—as a metaphor to critique traditional dualisms like human/animal, male/female, and nature/culture, proposing a new socialist-feminist politics based on "affinity" rather than identity. It argues that technology has already made us all cyborgs, blurring boundaries and creating new possibilities for identity and political coalition that reject essentialism and embrace partiality, irony, and connection across traditional divides.
