Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature
Donna Haraway’s “Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature” is a revisitation of her earlier work “A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century”. Haraway uses the symbolism of the human-machine hybrid as a metaphor for escaping the traditional social boundaries of class, gender, and culture to illustrate a self-admittedly utopian society in which we can exist outside of those socially limiting designators.
