INTD 105-19: Scientific Writing

A Cyborg Manifesto by Donna Haraway brings up the idea of boundaries and relates them to feminism. Specifically the boundaries between human and animal and between organism and machine. She first brings up the metaphor that the rest of the article revolves around, this metaphor is the cyborg.

The cyborg in her metaphor is a boundary between machine and human or between fiction and lived experience. “The cyborg is a creature in a post-gender world…” meaning that cyborgs have no specific gender. Haraway explains that society should promote unity of genders rather than enforcing the labels of female and male. When she spoke about the boundaries between human and machine being broken it related to my text because it gave many examples of the way humans have created machines or man made objects that help humans in some way just like the gazebo does.
