The cyborg:
- Human consequences of scientific and technological development
The posthuman:
- Changes on how we think about traditional categories of identity
Donna Haraway:
- Traditional political arguments based on‘the integrity of natural objects’ can no longer be sustained
Catherine MacKinnon:
- Men’s constitution and appropriation of women sexually
Donna Haraway:
- Feminism must develop a political framework
The cyborg:
- ‘Matter of fiction and lived experience’
- Political model
Donna Haraway:
- ‘By the late twentieth century… The cyborg is our ontology; it gives us our politics’
Judith Halberstam and Ira Livingston:
- Posthuman: open ideological assumptions traditionally made about human identity
Conclusion:
- Connections between Haraway’s and Halberstam’s and Livingston’s arguments:
~ Ontology is the anchor for any discussion of human identity
- Their common beliefs:
~ Qualities we usually attribute to the human are no longer easily identifiable
- Differences:
~ The cyborg: political project based on reconfiguring alliances between different material objects
- Human consequences of scientific and technological development
