Donna Jeanne Haraway

Donna J. Haraway refigures our current epoch, moving away from the Anthropocene toward the Chthulucene: an epoch in which we stay with the trouble of living and dying on a damaged earth while living with and understanding the nonhuman in complex ways conducive to building more livable futures.

Making Kin in the Chthulucene

Staying with the Trouble

This deeply personal yet intellectually groundbreaking work develops the idea of companion species and deftly explores philosophical, cultural, and biological aspects of animal-human encounters.

When Species Meet

Haraway's discussions of how scientists have perceived the sexual nature of female primates opens a new chapter in feminist theory, raising unsettling questions about models of the family and of heterosexuality in primate research.

The Companion Species Manifesto

En “Seguir con el problema”, conducido teórica y metodológicamente por el significante SF –siglas en inglés de figuras de cuerdas, hechos científicos, ciencia ficción, feminismo especulativo, fabulación especulativa y hasta ahora– la autora ofrece nuevas maneras de reconfigurar nuestras relaciones con la tierra y sus habitantes. Evita referirse a nuestra época actual como el Antropoceno: prefiere el concepto de lo que llama el Chthuluceno, ya que describe más y mejor nuestra época como aquella en la que humanos y no humanos se encuentran inextricablemente ligados en prácticas tentaculares. El Chthuluceno, explica Haraway, requiere sim-poiesis, o hacer-con, en lugar de auto-poiesis, o auto-creación. Aprender a seguir con el problema de vivir y morir juntos en una tierra herida favorecerá un tipo de pensamiento que otorgará los medios para construir futuros más vivibles.

Seguir con el problema

Haraway explores the world of contemporary technoscience through the role of stories, figures, dreams, theories, advertising, scientific advances and politics. Kinship relations among the many cyborg creatures of the 20th century are also discussed.

Feminism and Technoscience

"Simians, Cyborgs and Women" is a powerful collection of ten essays written between 1978 and 1989. Although on the surface, simians, cyborgs and women may seem an odd threesome, Haraway describes their profound link as "creatures" which have had a great destabilizing place in Western evolutionary technology and biology. Throughout this book, Haraway analyzes accounts, narratives, and stories of the creation of nature, living organisms, and cyborgs. At once a social reality and a science fiction, the cyborg--a hybrid of organism and machine--represents transgressed boundaries and intense fusions of the nature/culture split. By providing an escape from rigid dualisms, the cyborg exists in a post-gender world, and as such holds immense possibilities for modern feminists. Haraway's recent book, "Primate Visions," has been called "outstanding," "original," and "brilliant," by leading scholars in the field. "Simians, Cyborgs, and Women" tradition--establishing

Millennial Myths

" La fin du XXe siècle, notre époque, ce temps mythique, est arrivé et nous ne sommes que chimères, hybrides de machines et d'organismes théorisés puis fabriqués ; en bref, des cyborgs. Le cyborg est notre ontologie ; il définit notre politique. Le cyborg est une image condensée de l'imagination et de la réalité matérielle réunies, et cette union structure toute possibilité de transformation historique. Dans la tradition occidentale des sciences et de la politique, tradition de domination masculine, raciste et capitaliste, tradition de progrès, tradition de l'appropriation de la nature comme ressource pour les productions de la culture, tradition de la reproduction de soi par le regard des autres, la relation entre organisme et machine fut une guerre de frontières... " Ainsi parle Donna Haraway, professeure au Department of History of Consciousness, à l'Université de Californie à Santa Cruz. Elle est l'une des personnalités qui ont façonné le champ de la théorie féministe et des science studies. Ses textes traduits en plus de 16 langues en font une auteure incontournable de la scène intellectuelle internationale, penseuse de la postmodernité et des technosciences. La plus grande partie de son oeuvre est encore inédite en français. Bienvenue dans le monde étrange de Donna Haraway peuplé de cyborgs, hybrides, femalemen, oncomice, coyotes et autres monstres. Il s'y déjoue les dichotomies anciennes : féminin / masculin ; nature / culture ; vivant / artefact. Bienvenue dans le monde de Donna Haraway, ses fabulations sont les nôtres, nos pires craintes ou nos meilleures espérances ? A l'évidence, les cartes politiques pour l'invention de nouveaux espaces. Cette anthologie propose les textes essentiels de Donna Haraway : Cyborg Manifeste, Situated Knowledge, Teddy Bear Patriarchy, Ecce Homo, Modest Witness, Race.

SF: spekulative Fabulation und String-Figuren

Scott F. Gilbert

Acclaimed theorist and social scientist Donna Jeanne Haraway uses the work of pioneering developmental biologists Ross G. Harrison, Joseph Needham, and Paul Weiss as a springboard for a discussion about a shift in developmental biology from a vitalism-mechanism framework to organicism. The book deftly interweaves Thomas Kuhn's concept of paradigm change into this wide-ranging analysis, emphasizing the role of model, analogy, and metaphor in the paradigm and arguing that any truly useful theoretical system in biology must have a central metaphor.
