A Cyborg Manifesto
In 1985, Haraway's essay "A Manifesto for Cyborgs" was published. It was her attempt at building an ironic political myth that is rooted in Marxist and socialist ideals. Haraway argued that the production of universal theory is a major mistake and that taking responsibility for society's social relations means rejecting an anti-science metaphysics and technology. She then proposed a way out of the labyrinth of dualisms by developing a new language known as the cyborg image. -
