Feminism, Cybernetics, and Technology in the late Twentieth Century: A Contextualized Reading of Donna Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto
Research abstract

From a contextualization of Donna Haraway's thinking as a postmodern feminist philosopher of science and technology, the dissertation discusses the concept of the cyborg present in her essay 'Cyborg Manifesto' published in 1986. An analysis of the work is conducted to elucidate its key concepts, particularly the different meanings of 'cyborg' and 'cyborg feminism' within the essay and other related texts by the author on the subject. This analysis aims to clarify Haraway's perspective on the discussion of technophilia and technophobia while also examining the relevance of her manifesto in today's context
