HARAWAY GAVE
Proclamation cyborg
and other tests
Sciences - Fictions - Feminisms

“Our time, this mythical time arrived and we are only dreams, hybrids of machines and theorized organizations then manufactured; in short, cyborgs. The cyborg is our ontology; it lays down our policy.
The cyborg is a condensed image of joined together imagination and material reality, and this union structure any possibility of historical transformation. In the Western tradition of sciences and the policy - tradition of male domination, racist and capitalist, tradition of progress, tradition of the appropriation of nature like resource for the productions of the culture, tradition of the reproduction of oneself by the glance of the others - the relation between organization and machine was a war of borders…”
Thus speaks Donna Haraway, professeure in the department History off Consciousness, at the University of California with Santa-Cruz. It is one of the personalities which worked the field of the feminist theory and science studies. Its texts translated in addition to 16 languages make of them a auteure impossible to circumvent of the international intellectual scene, thinker of the postmodernity and technosciences. Most of its work is still new in French.
Welcome in the strange world of Gave populated Haraway of cyborgs, hybrids, femalemen, oncoumouses, coyottes and other monsters. It thwarts the old dichotomies there: female/male; nature/culture; living/artifact.
Did welcome in the world of Give Haraway, its fabulations ours, our the worst are feared or our best hopes? Obviously, political maps for the invention of new spaces.
