The recent innovations in technoscience have changed the patterns of women's everyday lives and their politics of identity. Among the various debates on women's relationship to technoscience, Donna J. Haraway's theory of the cyborg has been one of the most influential, as it provides new modes of conceiving subjectivity as well as new notions of women's shared experiences. This paper examines the recent debates regarding women's relationship to technoscience focusing on theories of the cyborg. Haraway challenges the myth of Christian origin and argues that the cyborg can re-figure identities beyond conventional models of the subject. Through transgressed boundaries, potent fusions and dangerous possibilities, the figure of the cyborg can offer us a new way of envisaging the relation of technology to women. Haraway also extends the notion of cyborg to companion species. She explores the idea of companion species and suggests that respect, curiosity, and knowledge spring from the animal-human relationship. The key themes of Haraway's theories have been employed and developed to reconfigure women's identities in an increasingly dominant scientific and technological order. Such discussions show that the alliance between feminism and technology can help women find new ways of constructing identities through new information and biological technologies. The ways in which women can counter the forces of technoscience that colonise women's bodies, especially in underdeveloped countries, must be explored.
Abstract
The recent innovations in technoscience have changed the patterns of women's everyday lives and their politics of identity. Among the various debates on women's relationship to technoscience, Donna J. Haraway's theory of the cyborg has been one of the most influential, as it provides new modes of conceiving subjectivity as well as new notions of women's shared experiences. This paper examines the recent debates regarding women's relationship to technoscience focusing on theories of the cyborg. Haraway challenges the myth of Christian origin and argues that the cyborg can re-figure identities beyond conventional models of the subject. Through transgressed boundaries, potent fusions and dangerous possibilities, the figure of the cyborg can offer us a new way of envisaging the relation of technology to women. Haraway also extends the notion of cyborg to companion species. She explores the idea of companion species and suggests that respect, curiosity, and knowledge spring from the animal-human relationship. The key themes of Haraway's theories have been employed and developed to reconfigure women's identities in an increasingly dominant scientific and technological order. Such discussions show that the alliance between feminism and technology can help women find new ways of constructing identities through new information and biological technologies. The ways in which women can counter the forces of technoscience that colonise women's bodies, especially in underdeveloped countries, must be explored.
