Manifestly Haraway

Více o knize

Electrifying and provocative, Donna Haraway's "Cyborg Manifesto," published thirty years ago, remains highly relevant today as it challenges complex divisions of human and machine, gender, class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and location. The "Companion Species Manifesto" further interrogates the human-nonhuman divide, making it essential in our era of environmental crisis and polarization. Together, these manifestos reveal the continuity of Haraway's thought, engaging readers in a conversation with her long-term friend Cary Wolfe. Through a dialogue on the history and significance of the manifestos, they explore themes such as biopolitics, feminism, Marxism, human-nonhuman relationships, making kin, literary tropes, material semiotics, and secular Catholicism. The discussion culminates in insights into Haraway's "Chthulucene Manifesto," which contrasts the bleak narratives of the Anthropocene and Capitalocene. Committed to fostering diverse and robust earthly flourishing, this work aims to reignite essential conversations about biologies, technologies, histories, and potential futures, both within and beyond academic circles.
