Abstract:

The aim of this article is to study and explore the cyborg as a metaphoric figure, as well as its semiotic correlation with the contemporary subject, an entity moving through a society developed by digital technologies. The cyborg paradigm is formed by the unification of existing dichotomies between human-machine, nature-culture, and science-magic, disrupting transcendental dualisms and fixed categories. These phenomena can be understood through the concept of intertextuality developed first by Julia Kristeva and then by Roland Barthes, both using the cyborg body as a textual construction, and

Abstract:

This Article deploys cybernetic theory to argue that a novel legal impact imaginary has emerged. In this imaginary, the subjects of legal interventions are performed and enacted as cybernetic organisms, that is, as entities that process information and adapt to changes in their environment. This Article, then, argues that in this imaginary, law finds its effectiveness—not by threatening, cajoling, educating, and moralizing humans as before, but by affecting the composition of cybernetic organisms, giving rise to new kinds of legal subjects that transcend the former conceptual boundary between

Abstract:

This article explores the queer qualities of feminist scientist Donna Haraway's ‘A Cyborg Manifesto’ (1985). In the first part, the article investigates the similarities between ‘A Cyborg Manifesto’ and the ideas circulating in queer theory, including the hybridity of identity, and the disruption of totalizing social categories such as ‘Gay man’ and ‘Woman’. In the second part, it is argued that ‘A Cyborg Manifesto’ evinced a decolonial feminist form of queerness. The article references the African-American, Chicana and Asian-American feminist sociology, theory, literature and history that ‘A

The cyborg is the most important futurological character, and its analysis is the purpose of this article. In order for the understanding of the Cyborg not to be limited to the idea of the complementation of man and machine, philosophical reflection is required.

The author analyzes the topos and the Cyborg concept, comparing them. The article considers the computer game “Cyberpunk 2077” as a Cyborg topos. The concept of the cyborg is analyzed mainly on

The Principle of Least Psychomotor Action (PLPA) is introduced and modelled in terms of situated entropy. PLPA is founded upon the Principle of Least Action. Situated entropy modelling of PLPA is informed by theoretical studies concerned with connections between information theory and thermodynamics. Four contribut

The essay works with Donna Haraway's contention that the cyborg in its boundary transgression is a metaphor for gender obsolescence.

While affirming the efforts in the text to generate a more complex, more-than-human and queer account of reproduction, it also raises several questions. How do narratives of maternal–fetal ‘violence’ or ‘generosity’ or ‘hospitality’ work in a broader social and political field, and more generally, how can scientific or evolutio

Despite this bleak scenario, the novel leaves some room for optimism in the figuration of a posthuman form of resilience

In the 80’s representatives of the second wave feminist theory nurtured hopes that new technologies would become an effective instrument of liberating from binary oppositions of patriarchal culture.

It should be capable of creating its own culture as well as a new world. Later this narrative would be widely criticized, but in this optimistic form it greatly affected science fiction of the period. T

While presenting narratives which ultimately reinstate a privileged Enlightenment humanism, the visual economy of these films continues to represent its protagonists as dehumanized commodities.

Abstract:

Optimal psychomotor work can be expressed in terms of the principle of least psychomotor action (PLPA). Modelling psychomotor action encompasses modelling workers, work, and interactions between them that involve different types of situated entropy. Modelling of psychomotor workers encompasses three types of workers: human, cyborg, and robot. The type of worker and the type of work interact to affect positioning actions, performing actions, and perfecting actions undertaken in psychomotor tasks. There are often disturbances in psychomotor work, for example due to weather conditions, which have

RESUMEN: Este estudio se propone investigar las distintas formas de construcción de identidades posthumanas a partir del elemento arquetípico de la metamorfosis y del híbrido humano-animal. Estas nuevas figuraciones rescatan una perspectiva acerca de lo animal procedente de un imaginario premoderno para deconstruir las categorías que han definido el sujeto humano a partir de la modernidad europea. En algunos textos publicados en los últimos veinte años, la mezcla entre especies plantea un nuevo concepto de identidad: por un lado, se examina cómo el devenir-animal se acompaña a la emancipación

Abstract:

Abstract This essay argues for exploring sublimity as a cultural technique which is central to processing modern practices of purification and hybridization alike, and which also self-reflexively illuminates the operations and actors of its surrounding human-nonhuman network. The dissection and literal assemblage of a romantic cyborg in “The Man That Was Used Up” serves as an example of how Poe’s self-referential employment of a posthumanist technological sublime counteracts anthropocentric notions of Romantic sublimity which reduce Nature to a means of human arousal and self-elevation.

Abstract:

While much feminist STS has focused on science and laboratories as sites of critical engagement, feminism and feminist theory has introduced alternative sites of knowledge production and engagement. This essay draws on new materialism and feminist theories of nature, embodiment and technology in order to analyze the disabled cyborg body as an epistemic site of feminist science. In particular, I analyze my own experience of adopting and using networked technologies—specifically, an insulin pump and glucose monitor--to manage Type 1 diabetes and the kinds of scientific practices that I engage in

Abstract:

This article offers a feminist and media-theoretical approach to ethnographic reflexivity, understood as the researcher’s own agency in shaping encounters with and producing accounts of digital cultures. Looking specifically at male-dominated domains of intensive and competitive play in public sites, such as arcades, local area network (LAN) parties, and eSports tournaments, this article asks: How might masculinity mediate studies of digital play? To address this, I weave together feminist ethnography with materialist media theory, offering an understanding of researcher subjectivity (in this
