Hon glider in i en klädnad av djurhudar och slår sig ned vid matplatsen med elddonet. En gnista lyser upp skogsdungen och snart jagar eldsflammorna varandra medan dagen gryr. Paddeln träffar ytan med jämna framåtdrivande rörelser. När han är framme vid fiskestället tar han fram ... http://www.participationliteracy.com/2006/05/19/appendix-ii-%e2%80%93-cyborgistoria-swedish/ I am going to start this session with two pictures, or stories, meant to illustrate the title: the Technologically Navigating Cyborg.

Donna Haraway’s cyborg is “a creature in a post-gender world”(1991). I cannot see that world yet. The world I live in is absurdly gendered. Women have been oppressed for thousands of years, at least, and I am afraid they are always going ... http://www.participationliteracy.com/2006/05/19/anatomy/ A cyborg is a cybernetic mechanism, a hybrid of machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction.
