a cyborg manifesto, by donna haraway
Tuesday, February 6th, 2018
Evidently, I should’ve read this years ago.
“Modern machinery is an irreverent upstart god… Our best machines are made of sunshine… They are floating signifiers moving in pickup trucks across Europe, blocked more effectively by the witch-weavings of the displaced and so unnatural Greenham women, who read the cyborg webs of power so very well, than by the militant labour of older masculinist politics, whose natural constituency needs defence jobs.”
Or maybe it’s fine that I waited. The extent to which it speaks to me right now is a little uncanny.
