First Published Book
Haraway’s published “A Manifesto for Cyborgs: Science, Technology, and Socialist Feminism in the 1980s” in 1985 “is an effort to build an ironic political myth faithful to feminism, socialism, and materialism. . . .taking responsibility for the social relations of science. . ." in this she talks about how we have broken barriers with technology. That to perceive machines the same as our ancestors did is wrong and we are in turn inseparable to those machines now. -
The Companion Species Manifesto: Dogs, People, and Significant Otherness
Donna Haraway completed this work in regards to humans and dogs in and the relationships we share. She uses her own experience as a trainer for her two dogs as well as the knowledge she has to surmise the relationship of control and mutual respect that they have for each other. This in turn when talking about the journey through history together comes in close as she relates that control with the colonial violence to the inequality experienced throughout the ages. -
Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene
In this Donna relates to humanity becoming closer to each other in a different perspective. In doing so she uses Chthulu as an analogy to bridge this gap in knowledge for the reader. Ultimately she connects all of it to responsibility and ones effect on the world. That we are all not world ending monsters however, that we all have to work together. Please enjoy this short video she speaks on speculative fabrication. Which I think adds to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFGXTQnJETg
