Donna Haraway's dreams

Article Abstract:

A discussion is presented on the works of Donna Haraway, and her writings are praised for the kind of humanity, her approach to theory, her positive outlook of science, her commitment to the politics of a political invention, and her matter-of-factness. Her writings are centralized on the enhanced reach of genetics and other developments in the life sciences, and the prospect these developments bear for a radical modernization of the body and kinship.

Driving in the city

Article Abstract:

The argument that de Certeau's understanding of walking as the archetypal transhuman practice of making the city habitable cannot hold in a post-human world is elaborated. By concentrating on the practices of driving, it is argued that other experiences of the city can have an equal validity.
