Feministe met een scherp pincet (2022)

Donna Haraway, renowned for her influential "Cyborg Manifesto," has significantly shaped modern feminism. In 1985, Haraway published this groundbreaking manifesto, which critically examined capitalism and the traditional binary divisions of male-female and natural-artificial. Her work challenged these dichotomies, opening the door to concepts of non-binarity and fluidity.

Haraway's manifesto is not just a critique but also a visionary text. Through a blend of science fiction, biology, and ancient myths, she crafted a new reality that questions the relationship between humans and other living beings. By weaving together these diverse elements, Haraway invited readers to reconsider their understanding of identity and the interconnectedness of all life forms.

Her ideas continue to inspire and provoke thought, redefining how we perceive the boundaries between the organic and the technological, the real and the imagined.
