HTML VERSION:
Steve, The Haraway take precisely abandons the security of a clear-cut human-animal divide that would justify such use. The cyborg is all about "leaky boundaries." Nothing is more fundamental to Haraway's approach. This is clear in the "Manifesto" and even more so in later work. -shawn steve.devos-AT-krokodile.co.uk wrote:Geoff A bit excessive and unnecessary. Using chickens in a sacrifical sense does not require Haraway, rather the Haraway take (Cyborg Chickens) would surely continue to extend the 'right of humans' to use the chickens as they see fit... A continuation of the tradition founded at the time of the neolithic industrial revolution or before perhaps. regards steveQuoting Eric <ericandmary-AT-earthlink.net>:I sometimes feel like a canary inside a golden cage trapped inside a coal mine. In times like these, every song echoes death. ericThis is a wild tangent, but I heard on NPR how the US tanks in Iraq are being outfitted with live chickens in the event of a biological attack. It's called Project K.F.C., though I can't recall what it stands for. These chicken-canaries, caged to tanks, bound for the Iraqi a coal mine. ...can we, following Donna Haraway's lead towards the OncoMouse, regard these strapped birds as a shared flesh? geof
