Electrifying, provocative, and controversial when first published
thirty years ago, Donna Haraway's "Cyborg Manifesto" is even more
relevant today, when the divisions that she so eloquently
challenges-of human and machine but also of gender, class, race,
ethnicity, sexuality, and location-are increasingly complex. The
subsequent "Companion Species Manifesto," which further questions
the human-nonhuman disjunction, is no less urgently needed in our
time of environmental crisis and profound polarization. Manifestly
Haraway brings together these momentous manifestos to expose the
continuity and ramifying force of Haraway's thought, whose
significance emerges with engaging immediacy in a sustained
conversation between the author and her long-term friend and
colleague Cary Wolfe. Reading cyborgs and companion species through
and with each other, Haraway and Wolfe join in a wide-ranging
exchange on the history and meaning of the manifestos in the
context of biopolitics, feminism, Marxism, human-nonhuman
relationships, making kin, literary tropes, material semiotics, the
negative way of knowing, secular Catholicism, and more. The
conversation ends by revealing the early stages of Haraway's
"Chthulucene Manifesto," in tension with the teleologies of the
doleful Anthropocene and the exterminationist Capitalocene. Deeply
dedicated to a diverse and robust earthly flourishing, Manifestly
Haraway promises to reignite needed discussion in and out of the
academy about biologies, technologies, histories, and still
possible futures.
