Really interesting read. It's dense so I may have to reread it or look for supplemental reading to fully absorb it, but I'm invested in feminism that rejects the limiting parameters of mystical goddess woo-woo purity and instead using technological progress (the blurring lines between human and machine) to conceptualize intersectionality. Haraway touches on disability but I wish there had been more said in that regard. This is something I'll be thinking about for a long time.

Cyborgs are for those of us (all of us) who are in the Middle Void.... reminders of the fluidity of boundaries and the importance of transgression.

La Haraway tiene una habilidad para expresar ideas muy complejas de maneras relativamente sencillas. Sin embargo, a ratos su textura se antoja muy densa, por lo que hay que leerlo con cuidado. Hay una bestialidad fractal de ideas aquí; muchas son todavía vigentes. De otras, el discurso ha evolucionado y mucho de lo que Haraway anticipa, en cierta medida, ya está sucediendo con todavía más beligerancia en la vida pública. Como sea, permanece una lectura muy interesante, aunque a ratos compleja en su presentación de ideas. No es para menos, porque mucho de lo que le interesa a Haraway explorar despúes, en torno a las formas en que podemos resistir en comunidad, encuentra sus primeras semillas aquí.

I loved reading it and found of how Haraway uses the cyborg to challenge the modern subject so insightful and useful but I can't lie I needed two videos to help me understand it properly
