    In A Cyborg Manifesto, Donna Haraway challenges traditional dichotomies of human and machine, nature and technology, and gender and identity. Published in 1985 as part of her book Simians, Cyborgs, and Women, Haraway uses the cyborg—a hybrid of organism and machine—as a powerful metaphor for exploring and dismantling these rigid boundaries (Haraway 149).

  • Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene

    In Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene, Donna Haraway presents a provocative reimagining of the Anthropocene through the concept of the Chthulucene. Haraway critiques the dominant narrative of the Anthropocene, which emphasizes human-induced environmental crises and often implies a fatalistic view of the future. Instead, she proposes the Chthulucene as a framework for living with and responding to ecological and social challenges.
