Systems and Standpoints in and Beyond Donna Haraway's “Manifesto for Cyborgs”
Abstract
The analysis of Donna Haraway’s 1985 essay “A Manifesto for Cyborgs” reads it in relation to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’s Communist Manifesto as a way to highlight its most notable achievements and contemporary relevance: Haraway’s updating of Marx and Engels’s mapping of industrial capitalism with a prescient analysis of a post-Fordist regime of accumulation and her figure of the cyborg as a collective political subject or standpoint.
