New York: Routledge, 1991. 149-181.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Hawaray&#8217;s famous essay winds, triple-helix-like, around three<br \/>\npolitically-inflected considerations: feminism, socialism and materialism. Or,<br \/>\nperhaps more precisely, she spins together a critical, (anti)definitional<br \/>\naccount of cyborg writing: the problem of agency, that is, in late twentieth<br \/>\ncentury&#8217;s emerging conditions of posthumanism and globalization as such forces<br \/>\n&quot;change what counts as women&#8217;s experience&quot; (149). <\/p>\n<p>The essay is organized into the following sections:<\/p>\n<p>I. An Ironic Dream of a Common Language for Women in the Integrated Circuit<br \/>\n(149) (primarily definitional; a lot of giveth and taketh away or additive and<br \/>\nsubtractive defining of &quot;cyborg&quot;)<br \/>\nII. Fractured Identities (155) (shift away from identity in favor of &quot;affinity&quot;<br \/>\nand &quot;affinities&quot;)<br \/>\nIII. The Informatics of Dominion (161) (gets at the new conditions related to<br \/>\ncommunications technologies and biotechnologies&#8211;a &quot;writing technology&quot; (164))<br \/>\nIV. The &#8216;Homework Economy&#8217; Outside &#8216;The Home&#8217; (166) (deals with labor and scene)<br \/>\nV. Women in the Integrated Circuit (170)<br \/>\nVI. Cyborgs: A Myth of Political Identity (173)<\/p>\n<p>Haraway introduces three boundary breakdowns: 1.) the separation between<br \/>\nhuman and animal; 2.) the distinction between organism and machine; and 3.) the<br \/>\ndistinction between physical and non-physical things. Furthermore, beyond<br \/>\nboundary breakdowns, Haraway accounts for miniaturization and ubiquity (even<br \/>\ninvisibility) as factors complicating the &quot;new scientific revolution&quot; (153). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;The cyborg is resolutely committed to partiality, irony, intimacy, and<br \/>\nperversity. It is oppositional, utopian, and completely without innocence&quot;<br \/>\n(151).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The boundary is permeable between tool and myth, instrument and concept,<br \/>\nhistorical systems of social relations and historical anatomies of possible<br \/>\nbodies, including objects of knowledge. Indeed, myth and tool mutually<br \/>\nconstitute each other&quot; (164). This begins to blend with ecological psychology<br \/>\nand related considerations of systems as arenas where materiality and mythology<br \/>\nwash into each other. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;These sociobiological stories depend on a high-tech view of the body as a<br \/>\nbiotic component or cybernetic [feedback-controlled] communication system&quot;<br \/>\n(169).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;&#8217;Networking &#8216; is both a feminist practice and a multinational corporate<br \/>\nstrategy&#8211;weaving is for oppositional cyborgs&quot; (170). Haraway gives us so much<br \/>\nbuildup&#8211;characterizations, descriptions, explanations of new and emerging<br \/>\ndynamics. She might also be said to domesticate the figure of the cyborg; by<br \/>\nestablishing it complexly, Haraway becomes a kind of thin referent for all<br \/>\nsubsequent cyborg references. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;Intensifications of hardship experienced world-wide in connection with the<br \/>\nsocial relations of science and technology are severe&quot; (173). How might this be<br \/>\na more vigorous approach to questions of access? Is access synonymous with<br \/>\nhardship? And why wouldn&#8217;t we, then, always keep language fresh for its<br \/>\nrelevance to the technology access question?<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Writing is pre-eminently the technology of cyborgs, etched surfaces of the<br \/>\nlate twentieth century. Cyborg politics is the struggle for language and the<br \/>\nstruggle against perfect communication&quot; (176). The sites for this struggle and<br \/>\nactivity are elaborated in section IV, and a statement like this one moves the<br \/>\ncyborg figure, its logic, nearer to composition and rhetoric. Maybe?<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Why should our bodies end at the skin, or include at best other beings<br \/>\nencapsulated by skin?&quot; (178). Another ecological psychology question.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Cyborg imagery can help express two crucial arguments in this essay: first,<br \/>\n<b>the production of universal, totalizing theory is a major mistake that misses<br \/>\nmost of reality<\/b>, probably always, but certainly now; and second, <b>taking<br \/>\nresponsibility for the social relations of science and technology means refusing<br \/>\nan anti-science metaphysics, a demonology of technology<\/b>, and so means<br \/>\nembracing the skilful task of reconstructing the boundaries of daily life, in<br \/>\npartial connection with others, in communication with all of our parts. It is<br \/>\nnot just that science and technology are possible <b>means of great human<br \/>\nsatisfaction<\/b>, as well as <b>a matrix of complex dominations<\/b>&quot; (181).<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Related sources:<\/dt>\n<dd>Winner, Langdon. <i>The Whale and The Reactor: A Search For Limits In An<br \/>\n  Age of High Technology<\/i>.
