Haraway with Karl Fontenot and an ex-con Odell Titsworth. He was locked up in the jail but was not charge with anything. Karl Fontenot was also arrested and was questioned for an hour and a half. First he denied any involvement but under police constant pressure, he too made a videotaped “confession”. During the second trial, a psychiatrist examined Fontenot and believed that because of low intelligence, Fontenot did not understood his Miranda rights and the meaning of a ‘confession’ and lied to

In “Modest_Witness@Second_Millenium,” Donna Haraway profiles the “modest witness” of science, a self-invisible inhabitant of an unmarked category who is authorized to establish facts about the world without his own embodiment clouding or biasing the world’s objective truth. “His subjectivity is his objectivity” (24). Historically, his objectivity has been contrasted with the subjectivity and special interests of women and people of color, among other marginalized people. Thus, they have always been

Views from Somewhere: Subjectivities and Knowledge Production in Harding’s Standpoint Epistemology and Haraway’s Situated Knowledges In “Modest_Witness@Second_Millenium,” Donna Haraway profiles the “modest witness” of science, a self-invisible inhabitant of an unmarked category who is authorized to establish universal facts about the world without his own embodiment clouding or biasing the world’s objective (i.e., seen as the same from all perspectives) truth. “His subjectivity is his objectivity”

When Species Meet, Donna Haraway argues that “to be one is always to become with many” (p. 4). Since humans are always intra-acting with other critters, becomings form part of the world-making entanglements that happen in what Haraway (2008) calls “contact zones”. In other words, we become-with critters, as critters are always connected to us. From this multispecies perspective becoming-with can be understood as a dance with encounters, a “much richer web to inhabit” (Haraway, 2008, p. 19), where

groups continue to face subjugation by society at large. In queer theory, Donna Haraway's "A Cyborg Theory" and Lee Edelman's "The Future is Kid Stuff" approach the politics of the future in fundamentally different ways. Haraway views the future as a time to dissolve binaries of sex and sexuality that subjugate women and queers, while Edelman advocates for a nihilistic future where politics do not exist. In other words, Haraway views

In “A Cyborg Manifesto”, Donna Haraway, the author relates feminism to cyborgs in that male/female and biology/technology are dualities. However, is the Civil Rights Movement not an undertaking between dualities as well (African Americans/Caucasian)? By applying Haraway’s idea that male/female can be united just like bio/tech are in cyborgs to MLK’s “Letter in Birmingham Jail” that states that the Civil Rights Movement is an undertaking by the African Americans to gain rights equal to those of Caucasians

The Sci-fi Film Blade Runner (1982) by Ridley Scott has been an illustration of the idea of “postmodernism” and “posthuman”. The film illustrates the idea of science and technology taking over the human society. The Idea of postmodernism is highly portrayed as the industry and the economy which also established most of the characters in the film. Blade Runner also explores our understanding of technology as an essential part of our lives and raises questions on issues pertaining to the are rapidly

Donna Haraway advocates cyborgs in her article as a way to challenge the idea of a pure, unified subject. A cyborg is “a hybrid of machine and organism” (Haraway, 291) which blur the boundaries of binary categories.. Haraway argues that there is no essential unity . In the case of new media, the representations of race and gender are depicted as binaries. White/

Donna Haraway’s (2008) ‘When Species Meet’ is a post human analysis of the categorisation of the world into human and non-human, questioning the divisions that define contemporary Western society. Chapter twelve, ‘Parting Bites’ summarises her work, a critical evaluation of the dichotomy between animals seen as companion animals and pets, and animals that aren’t. She focuses on the ‘technocultural’ climate of today, proposing the notion of ‘companion species,’ a coming together of more than just

of self-approval to Donna Haraway’s argument that cyborgs are the ramifications of different political and economic social systems, we can see that because of Haraway’s idea that cyborgs are the balance between two opposites, the same can be said of conformity in Twain’s essay, and so conformity is a result of different societal states due to the idea
