Summary: Contribution to Feminist Science Studies
Comment: Essays cover a wide range of topics, from the discourse of monstrocity and its place in cyborg genealogy, to an examination of the "postmodernification" of menopause and reproductive technologies, to an analysis of the use of gendered metaphors in physics. Also examines the practice of "virtual" (sic?) sexual harassment and violence online, and includes a comparative essay underscoring the relationship between cyberfeminism and ecofeminism. Lykke's Introduction provides a context for this anthology, situating it in relation to second wave (1970s) feminist analyses of gender and science, and women and technology. Braidotti's Postface restates the key concerns running through the volume, which can be generally described as interrogations of what counts as "nature," as natural and as normal in scientific and medical discourses and practices, especially when they explicitly (or inexplicitly) employ sexed/gendered ideologies. As the title suggests, this text is in conversation with Donna Haraway's "Manifesto for Cyborgs" (in _Simians, Cyborgs and Women; The Reinvention of Nature_, 1991).
