taro, or kalo, a part of the Hawaiian culture, but it is their native diet as well. It is very popular that schools would go on field trips to taro patches, but it is common that people would never really realize how important it actually was. As Donna Haraway explained in ‘The Companion Species Manifesto’, a companion specie is something that “must include relationships with plants, insects, intestinal flora, etc., that all make life what it is for humans” (15). When talking about companion species

The other two articles were comparable, but Carolyn merchant was more similar to Jardine’s in regard to their discussion of nature. Both discuss the manipulation of nature to fit man’s need to control it. Merchant’s article of nature emphasizes how man exploits it as a resource to gain power. Nature is bent to fit whatever needs man has and because they have studied its laws they know how far they can go. But they question that this creates is how far will they push boundaries where nature isn’t

devices. When learning that was the meaning I began to think us humans are as cybernetic organisms. My first reading on the thoughts of cyborg, was “You Are Cyborg,“ written by Hari Kunzru, writing to Donna Haraway who does believe we humans are cyborgs. As one reads “You Are Cyborg,” who sees that Donna Haraway, is not saying that we humans are physically cyborgs that are all mechanically made but that we are consumed by technology making us cybernetic organisms. This concept

oppression to manipulate and/or discipline docile bodies in order to occupy the same status and space in society. “The Virtual Speculum in the New Order” by Donna J. Haraway and the “Right of Death and Power over Life” by Michel Foucault are two good articles where the concept of bio-power has been explored in two different areas. Haraway focuses on women’s “choices” when it comes to health and technology. She shared the idea that women think they have the autonomy to make “choices” when it comes

Ex Machina begins with a man, Caleb, sitting in front of his computer at work and discovering he won a contest to visit the company’s CEO, Nathan, for a week. The way this first scene is shot shows a connection to and reliance on technology, and a disconnect from real human interaction. Shots are focused on the computer screen, the webcam, and Caleb’s phone, some even shift the viewer’s perspective to looking out at Caleb from inside of the computer in front of him. Caleb has his earphones in and

People express themselves in a number of different ways, such as their fashion, personality, mannerisms, and actions. Together, all of these different ways of expression can create a never ending amount of identities that are developed over time as people mature and grow. However, all of these expressions, for the most part, are still expected to fit within the gender norms of society. For example, it is still extremely taboo for a boy to wear a dress or speak in a voice that is considered “too high

a theory with a universally accepted definition, but rather centers on a number of central ideas and practices. However, it is generally accepted that the preliminary concepts of cyberfeminism, namely the idea of a “cyborg,” were presented by Donna Haraway in her 1984 piece “A Cyborg Manifesto.” While her article was written in the mid 80’s, Cyberfeminism achieved popularity in the late 80’s and 90’s in relation to the blossoming technological advances,

biocentric self of deep ecology. The paper then presents an alternative manner of thinking about the ethical self which avoids some of the philosophical difficulties of the foregoing views. This alternative draws on the recent work by Val Plumwood and Donna Haraway. Haraway's cyborg identity is a kind of self-in-relation (Plumwood's term) which allows for ethical deliberations that take relations with others seriously without losing individuality in problematic holism (as deep ecology does). Self-in-relation

attention and pushed them apart. In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Philip K. Dick suggests that human dependence on technology has blurred the boundaries between humans and androids; both are in fact cyborgs—“hybrid[s] of machine and organism” (Haraway, 149). By having his human characters describe such technologies as the Empathy Box, the Penfield Mood Organ, and television as “extension[s] of [their] bod[ies]” and the absence of them as “the absence of life,” Dick supports post-humanist literary
