According to Donna Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto, cyborgs are creatures of a post-gender world. They leapfrog the stage of primordial unity, redefining nature and culture. Cyborgs are oppositional, without innocence, characterized by partiality, intimacy, and perversity. They are also the offspring of militarism and patriarchal capitalism, thus uniting systems of oppression. The cyborg as a life form is to be understood as regeneration rather than rebirth, as the reconstruction of a world with the utopian dream of renouncing all forms of dualism. In constructing this myth, Haraway questions existing relations of power and domination. She emphasises that responsibility for social relations means playing mind games with anti-scientific metaphysics bordering on science fiction, as well as rejecting the demonisation of technology and the willingness to learn new tasks that go hand in hand with new techniques. She uses the metaphor of the cyborg to show a way out of the labyrinth of dualisms. According to Haraway, this means the simultaneous construction and destruction of machines, identities, categories, relations, spaces, and histories. How can we evaluate this utopia from today's perspective? Does the mythology really promise a new, better world? How can we use the concepts and ideas to develop socially and overcome the limits of dualistic power relations? And is this the new world we wish for?
