Cyborg Feminism?
The Cyborg Manifesto by Donna Harawat, which I have yet to read. I'm really interested in this, to think that someone actually reallyyyy got into this idea. It seems extremist, but I wonder how "out there" it is.
"The cyborg does not dream of community on the model of the organic family, this time without the oedipal project. The cyborg would not recognize the Garden of Eden; it is not made of mud and cannot dream of returning to dust."
"Up till now (once upon a time), female embodiment seemed to be given, organic, necessary; and female embodiment seemed to mean skill in mothering and its metaphoric extensions. Only by being out of place could we take intense pleasure in machines, and then with excuses that this was organic activity after all, appropriate to females" "I'd rather be a cyborg than a goddess" (She does not separate herself from ecofeminist values either apparently)
