What can even be said about Donna Haraway to pay due respect. I've never heard a compelling argument that any philosopher of recent history did it better. If I had to choose one poet or one philospher for people of today to enjoy, it would be her. Note, I dont say "study." One can of course study Donna Haraways work and genius and be all the better forbit but its not even necessary because she actually did the nearly impossible: brought joy to academic philosophy. I can only imagine that in my generation (the one after her) there are also some wonderful voices that until now have been underappreciated in the larger society. Even people who dont 'get' what Dr Haraway is talking about can find in her books and talks a kind of music that transcends mere meaning as much as the opposite. What a treasure. What an unsubg genius. Whe the world gets honest and "history" starts being "everyonestory" then we'll see her mentioned next to Einstein as a reference for genius.
This is just brilliant. Witty, deep and insightful. I'm researching second wave feminism/cyberfeminism/xenofeminism and this is a PERFECT compliment to those studies. Obviously it's a little dense and will need several passes to let it all sink in, nothing wrong with that! Thanks for the upload.
She has such clear step beside of all boarder thinkers, she is just so independent and she all hug all hug the world critters and women….however, she is just the most convincing talkers of our times…"we are children of compost…"
20 years later, emergence remains causally indeterminate. We know the what, the how and very often also the where but we do not know the why. Awesome lecture.
Donna Haraway, particularly through her work on the *Cyborg Manifesto*, offers a critical perspective on the blending of humans and machines, making her influential in discussions about technology and posthumanism. Her ideas resonate in contexts where technological integration enhances human capabilities, like asteroid defense. Haraway's concepts of humans as "cyborgs" fit well with the notion that technology is pivotal in human survival, positioning her as a key thinker when discussing human advancement through technology. However, whether she is "better" depends on the specific context and comparison being made. Drafted by AI
What wonderful word soup this woman produces. Such a meaningful absence of form as substance takes form in lush and lustrious speech. It puts forth its meaning in words that make the reader realize that the answers are already to be found inside, if you only are willing to look harder. No doubt there is even more meaning in her words than can be separated from them just by examining them as mere words through obscuring lens of scrutiny.
Beautiful, beautiful thought. It reflects that truth that one lives, that laugh and sprint of joy one gets out of the authentic being. All life strives towards beauty- the overman is the achievement of human beauty, it’s golden gleam. Beauty is the culmination of life, in it represents ripeness, plenitude, climax of existence. And to such moments of beauty we must all strive, until we are beautiful ourselves, like children.
What sort of background do you need to understand this? I am curious because I have been wanting to look deeper into the notion of "Feminist Programming Languages" and this type of theory is involved.
I see this lecture as being embedded within/around the intersections of critical animal studies, philosophical anthropology (anthropological philosophy), genetics, dog training and breeding, cultural evolution, feminist philosophy, linguistic philosophy, metaphysics, ethology (especially symbiosis), postmodern theory, and posthumanism discourses. Brushings with deep-ecological and related literature were also minorly helpful to my own understanding of this lecture as were my encounters with Haraway's previous work that I can succinctly but imperfectly lump under technohumanism studies.
hey you appear to have a good understanding of this lecture, I was given this link by my professor and am suppose to answer Why Dona thinks that we are all cyborgs? What is so unique about her statements and her philosophical position that you find fascinating? Do you agree or disagree with her? but maybe im just distracted by all the dog talk but I dont really see how this lecture relates to cyborg anthropology at all...
@@alliedesjardins5711 A bit late maybe; but essentially humans interacting with technology is so symbiotic and interwoven that she regards the nature/technology dichotomy as a false one - technology is merely an expression of natural (human) productivity and enhances/enables it further, so to speak. Really, in this talk she extends this understanding of the human as a cyborg further to regard all species as companion species. At least that's how I understood it. To sum it up, your prof's questions kinda suck for this video, The Cyborg Manifesto is from like '85 or sth.

Can you please explain what the focus on bodily fluids, ooze and slime are about with cyberfeminism? What's the connection between that and feminism and what women like?

she's far sighted (common when you get older). She needs the glasses to read the paper, but they make the room blurry when she looks up at the people. So to see the paper (and remind herself of what she wants to say) she puts on the glasses; to see the people shes talking to (so she can see their faces and gauge their reactions and see whats going on in the room) she need to take off the glasses.
@@celeritas2-810 Maybe she is. We don't know and that's exactly the point. I think multispecies relationships should be a recognition and celebration of unknowability rather than a rendering knowable (which comes with it's own consequences)
have you guys seen the film m3gan? well, at the very end, they killed m3gan. justice for m3gan. justice for haraway. justice for feminist technoscience.
Words ARE logical intelligence. She had 0 cognitive empathy to realize that no one will be able to fucking understand her. What we are witnessing is an autistic savant.
Mandingus Before the constitution and the union, people had the freedom to start their own sovereign communities. Now we are all forced to adopt a humanist values system. See Kim Davis for example.
She's fun to listen to. But there is no basic difference between *this* bullshit and Jordan Peterson's Maps of Meaning bullshit. Despite what JP might say.
