Monströse Versprechen

Donna Haraway's interdisciplinary and impactful works create a crossroads of feminist epistemological critique, cultural studies, political theory, and biosciences. As brilliant as she is subversive, she challenges the certainties that shape research and practice. Boldly and with a playful spirit, she advocates for redrawing the boundaries of everyday life and taking responsibility for the relationships between science and technology. "Medicine, gender, and multinational capital merge into a single nightmare": Haraway argued as early as 1984 for a socialist-feminist infiltration of genetic engineering and for intervening in the border war over the relationship between organism and machine. Consistently, she fights against the ahistoricity of technological culture. In times of upheaval, it becomes possible to interrupt the restoration of domination and to adapt the supporting structures.
