Reading 3: Donna Haraway, "A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century"

http://www.stanford.edu/dept/HPS/Haraway/CyborgManifesto.html


1 What is a cyborg, and how does it relate to ontology and politics?

2 In your own words, what does Haraway have to say about cyborgs and gender, race, and sex? You might do a ctrl-F and find "fractured identities."

3 Read the list under the "Informatics of Domination." Does it make sense if you put AIDS on one side and computer viruses on the other? How so? How not? Explain by referring to at least five different terms.
