Feminist theorist and philosopher Donna Haraway has substantially
impacted thought on science, cyberculture, the environment,
animals, and social relations. This long-overdue volume explores
her influence on feminist theory and philosophy, paying particular
attention to her more recent work on companion species, rather than
her "Manifesto for Cyborgs." Margret Grebowicz and Helen Merrick
argue that the ongoing fascination with, and re-production of, the
cyborg has overshadowed Haraway's extensive body of work in ways
that run counter to her own transdisciplinary practices. Sparked by
their own personal "adventures" with Haraway's work, the authors
offer readings of her texts framed by a series of theoretical and
political perspectives: feminist materialism, standpoint
epistemology, radical democratic theory, queer theory, and even
science fiction. They situate Haraway's critical storytelling and
"risky reading" practices as forms of feminist methodology and
recognize her passionate engagement with "naturecultures" as the
theoretical core driving her work. Chapters situate Haraway as
critic, theorist, biologist, feminist, historian, and humorist,
exploring the full range of her identities and reflecting her
commitment to embodying all of these modes simultaneously.
