A Cyborg Manifesto
Donna provides a critique of identity politics in Feminism through an articulation of the notion of "cyborg consciousness". She suggests that we are all cyborgs-the fusion of the technological with the biological. Our lives are structured, ordered, managed, and intersected with technobiological innovations and processes. Cyborgs are"...a hybrid of machine and organism of social reality as well as of fiction...". The cyborg is the product of the imaginary and the material of structure. -
Primate Visions by Donna Haraway
This is her second book that she has published after "The Cyborg Manifesto". Donna Haraway writes a book called "Primate Visions: Gender, Race, and Nature in the World of Modern Science" which maps out the primate studies over the course of history and across the boundaries of several disciplines. Haraway denies any attempt to present a non-biased or objective study of the intellectual history of primate studies. -
Simians, Cyborgs, and Woman
Haraway struggles that it will be a long-standing intellectual tradition to see society as an organic system not unlike that of a human body, and that the relationships in society are heavily based on dominance and the recurring notion of the oppressor and the oppressed, particularly in feminism. Science, she says, is all too happy to investigate woman and offer explanations of female roles in society yet it is also content to keep woman at arm's length in terms of inquiry and involvement. -
