DONNA JEANNE HARAWAY AND THYRZA NICHOLS GOODEVE

How Like A Leaf

Routledge 2000 Paperback, 212pp. "'I experience language as an intensely physical process,' writes Donna Haraway. 'I cannotnotthink through metaphor. Biochemistry and language just don't feel that different to me.' Since the appearance of her monumentalPrimate Visionsand the now classic essay 'A Manifesto for Cyborgs,' feminist historian of science Donna Haraway has created a way of thinking about culture, science, and the production of knowledge that has made her one of the most highly regarded theorists in America. She is admired for her passion and rigor, her wicked ironies, and her deep commitment to issues of gender and race, as well as species. The author of four seminal works on science and culture, Donna Haraway here speaks for the first time in a direct and non-academic voice. Thyrza Nichols Goodeve leads her subject through conversation about Haraway's intellectual development, theories and influences, the role of Catholicism in her thinking, and how her ethical stands have mirrored issues in her personallife. For readers who have admired and struggled with the rich and complex performances of her earlier works,How Like a Leafwill be a welcome inside view of the author's thought. At the same time, this work makes Haraway's contribution to modern thought available to a much wider audience who cares about the issues she addresses. This is a highly personal introduction to a major thinker's body of work. ", (ISBN: 9780415924030). Very Good.

Modest_Witness@Second_Millennium.FemaleMan(c)_Meets_OncoMouse(TM): Feminism and Technoscience

New York and London, Routledge. 1997, First paperback edition. (ISBN: 0415912458) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xi, 361 pp. illus. biblio. index; 24 cm. With paintings by Lynn M. Randolph. Tight, clean copy. The title is an email address. On t.p. the hyphens are subscript; "FemaleMan" is followed by the copyright symbol, and "OncoMouse" by the superscript letters "TM." "Modest_Witness@Second_Millennium. FemaleMan_Meets_OncoMouse explores the roles of stories, figures, dreams, theories, facts, delusions, advertising, institutions, economic arrangements, publishing practices, scientific advances, and politics in twentieth-century technoscience. The book's title is an e-mail address. With it, Haraway locates herself and her readers in a sprawling net of associations more far-flung than the Internet. The address is not a cozy home. There is no innocent place to stand in the world where the book's author figure, FemaleMan, encounters DuPont's controversial laboratory rodent, OncoMouse. Haraway sees the world of contemporary technoscience as a drama. Information sciences and life sciences are at the center of the dramatic action. Scenes are set in landscapes where maps of human genetic differences are stored in databases, racialized bodies are reconfigured by morphing for photographs in popular magazines, and transgenic mice important to breast cancer research are patented intellectual property. The actors are many, and not all are human. Beginning with the Modest Witness, the key figure in the Science Revolution, Haraway shows us the trouble lurking in race and gender-marked practices for attesting to matters of fact. In later scenes, Haraway explores the kinship relations among the many cyborg creatures produced in the late twentieth-century--in nuclear research, genetic engineering, reproductive technologies, computer-mediated representational practices, and mutations in biological approaches to "race.'" - Publisher. Fine.
