It is for this reason that, in my paper, I adopt a technofeminist situated perspective, one which combines the technofeminist approach proposed by Judy Wajcman with Haraways notion of situated knowledge, as it has been revisited through the recent encounters between postcolonial studies, transcultural feminism and visual culture. Although there are multiple kinds of governance to consider, I investigate the normalizations of Western culture and the saturation of " objective " economic policies as worldview in interactions between development and democracy, as part of discursive modes of power, and question how each mode of governance has created and sustained such infrastructures as The Global Poor or Third World. In situated knowledges based on embodied vision, neither subjects who experience, nor nature which is known, can be treated as straightforward, pretheoretical entities, 'innocent and waiting outside the violations of language and culture' (Haraway 1991, p. 109).

This means grounding the theories about- and the practices within- new technologies inside the flows and forces of globalscapes, to account for the contradictory effects of the multiplicity of belonging inside and throughout them. Nagel, 1986) has become one of the basic epistemological blocks underpinning feminist and queer scholarship. complexity and innovative character of Haraway's approach to knowledge. Based on the (Irigarayan) idea of the impossibility of counting zero, Liu Xin suggests a form of feminist critique similar to what Trinh T. Minh-ha (2016) has named lovecidal. I argue that the complexity of both genetics and human sexuality demands a truly critical approach: one that takes into account feminist epistemologies of science and queer approaches to the body, while putting into conversation resources from agential realism and critical realism. Mortensen focuses on the question of mood and does this from the viewpoint of affirmative affective thinking, paying attention especially to the notion of mood within Deleuzian affect theory. W, the feminists in the debates about science and technology, are, Reagan era's "special-interest groups" in the rarified realm, epistemology, where traditionally what can count as knowledge, policed by philosophers codifying cognitive canon law. whose knowledge! Drawing on the lessons of feminist theory, particularly on approaches to the politics of location, from Adrienne Richs initial formulation to the situated knowledge theorized by Donna Haraway, I elaborate a situated aesthetics of technospaces in which the observers engagement with representational practices replaces the view from a distance of traditional representation, so that her/his position is accounted for together with the history of the production of space and its multiple representations.

Just as for the rest of us, what scientists believe or say they do and what they really do have, The only people who end up actually believing and, goddess for-, bid, acting on the ideological doctrines of disembodied scientific, objectivity-enshrined in elementary textbooks and technoscience, booster literature-are nonscientists, including a few very trusting, philosophers. To develop this constructivist and feminist project requires a collective research program that engages with feminist reflexivity as a practice. Situated data analysis is explicitly indebted to Donna Haraway's insistence that knowledge is always situated, and that an omniscient "view from nowhere" is impossible. That is, by acknowledging and engaging our own differing power relations, situated knowledges provides an ideological framework that might help transform democracy as discourse to democracy as action. With a personal and autobiographical account, Nina Lykkes article concentrates on dis/identification, cruel optimism and everyday utopianism as instances of feminist epistemic habits, but also as structuring themes for feminist thought. The idea of combining a commitment to a real world, albeit a constructivist one, with attention to practice and embodiment is assessed. 129-149, https . in the late 1980s, Lorraine Code and Donna Haraway introduced two concepts that would come to play a central role in discussions of epistemologies and ethics: epistemic responsibility (Code, 1987) and 'situated knowledges' (Haraway, 1988).

The term itself goes back to an article by Donna Haraway first published in 1988 in the journal Feminist Studies and titled Situated Knowledges: The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective (Haraway, 1991 [1988]). My interest in the posthuman turn stems from my background in feminist cultural studies. Although utopianist and dystopianist views tend to prevail, I believe that a critical technotopianism can help overcome these and other binaries and elaborate a situated aesth/etics from within technoscience. My research for this thesis focusses on the concepts of representation and space in order to demonstrate their theoretical and practical co-implications.

We have used a lot, toxic ink and trees processed into paper decrying what they ha, meant and how it hurts us. Following such critiques, I argue that in the question of democratic transformations within development discourse, it is a productive pursuit to re-engage Donna Haraway's (1988) theory of Situated Knowledges and partial perspectives.

I specifically focus on technospaces, which I consider a privileged field for observing the intersections of representation and spatiality; it is a field in which the use of spatial metaphors abounds, very often relying on a series of dichotomies (such as location and mobility, the real and the virtual) that have employed and, in most cases, reinforced the traditional idiom of representational. scientific knowledge is actually made. (eds.) They make visible epistemic habits from the context of our everyday lives and practices and show the challenge in engaging in critique, proposing an ethics of a pace of our own.

At least, I confess, these paranoid fantasies and academic resentments lurking und, neath some convoluted reflections in print under my name in, feminist literature in the history and philosophy of science. We contend that archival theory and practice have yet to fully engage with a feminist praxis that is aimed at more than attaining better representation of women in archives. A discourse approach moves theorizations forward by recognizing neoliberalism is neither a top-down nor bottom-up phenomena, but rather a circuitous process of socio-spatial transformation. Engaging these limitations might also start to work towards something like planetarity. Also, passing as human indicates a challenge to the stability of the notion of the human as such, exposing how a binary system of categorisation allows for the co-construction of a universalised and normative (human) Self versus an improper Other. We use information technology and tools to increase productivity and, facilitate new forms of scholarship. This article aims to operationalize these approaches by introducing an anti-humanist, politically attuned, and historically contextualized framework, which postulates that ones knowledge is inevitably incomplete and situated because information about the world always reaches one through a channel that is constituted by four epistemic gaps: (1) possible worlds versus realized world, (2) realized world versus witnessed situation, (3) witnessed situation versus remembered situation, and (4) remembered situation versus confessed situation. By visiting concepts and arguments of thinkers like Rosi Braidotti, Donna Haraway, Achille Mbembe, and Isabelle Stengers, I ask: how not to be indifferent to knowing that algorithms repeat age-old patterns of in-and exclusion?

I maintain that situated knowledges is a productive, theoretical lens and methodology that allows us to locate individuals and individual experience within these larger and unequal power relations. Haraway's strong social constructionist approach to science is criticized by colleague Sandra Harding, resulting in an epistemological reconceptualization of objectivity by Haraway. This piece exposes the transformational potential of feminism for archives and of archives for dismantling the heteronormative, capitalist and racist patriarchy.

By engaging in the potentialities of science, technology and medicine, science fiction opens up alternative worlds for exploring identities, embodiments and ontologies that confront conventional boundaries between sameness and difference. She pays special attention to Helga Satzingers (2012) politics of gender concepts and suggests that in particular in relation to steroids a feminist critique is required which does not reproduce, but bridge the binary mentioned. What the Telescope can tell us about Postmodern Theory? Considering habitual gestures and habits of feminist academic knowledge production, and the questions, reflections, viewpoints and thoughts expressed and discussed in the published texts, that we think are particularly important within current feminist analysis, we hope that this special issue contribute to the surely intensifying debate about contemporary critique/postcritique. Like Kyrl also the authors of this article highlight the importance of asking non-habitual questions, refusing to apply a hermeneutics of suspicion in reading Solanas, but considering the Manifesto as a highly relevant, queer philosophical text. Addressing the temporal ontologies that drive and haunt university life, they deal with the notion of slowing down as a response to the fast neoliberal university. In other words, to pass as human raises questions about the boundaries of the very category of the human, as social identity, as subject formation and as existence. Donna Haraway's 1988 paper titled " Situated Knowledge: The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective " , brought a new way of looking at the epistemological question of how we construct knowledge. Although there are multiple kinds of governance to consider, I investigate the normalizations of Western culture and the saturation of " objective " economic policies as worldview in interactions between development and democracy, as part of discursive modes of power, and question how each mode of governance has created and sustained such infrastructures as The Global Poor or Third World. However, her concepts of situated knowledges and diffraction need further development to be adequate models of feminist science studies. 2021.

Of cou, a special-interest group is, by Reaganoid definition, any collec, historical subject that dares to resist the stripped-down atomism, Star Wars, hypermarket, postmodern, media-simulated citiz, ship. In keeping with Haraway's characteristically provocative use of language, the very title of the article contains two challenges to conventional epistemology and the sociology of knowledge: the pluralization of the word knowledge as soon as it is understood as situated, and the notion that partiality of perspective can be a privilege, when common sense would suggest that partiality points to a lack and that a privileged perspective is one that is all-seeing and all-knowing. Haraway's notion of situated knowledges provides a workable epistemology for all social and biophysical sciences, while inviting the reintegration of religions as critical conversation partners in an emancipatory hermeneutics of nature, culture, and technology. The controversial conferral of agency on nonhuman objects is similarly explicated. The paper argues that Haraway provides an important account of science studies that is both feminist and constructivist. She refers to this as worldings: the stories, practices and knowledges that make a world or a reality. Through the use of feminist historiography this article examines some of the myriad ways in which feminist praxis has pushed against, challenged, enriched, dismantled, assimilated or otherwise affected archival theory and practice. for this article.

Situated Knowledges The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective By Donna Haraway Book Feminist Theory Reader Edition 5th Edition First Published 2020 Imprint Routledge Pages 8 eBook ISBN 9781003001201 Share ABSTRACT The question of the objectivity of knowledge is an omnipresent debate in academia. Through the use of feminist historiography this article examines some of the myriad ways in which feminist praxis has pushed against, challenged, enriched, dismantled, assimilated or otherwise affected archival theory and practice. Such discussions are at the heart of contemporary biopolitics and bioethics, and illustrate how political regulation of the human body (and the ways in which ethical considerations about human and non-human life can be articulated), are part of contemporary knowledge production and worlding practices. The concept of situated knowledge is a major epistemological tool in feminist and antiracist theory. The AAG International Encyclopaedia of Geography (Oxford: John Wiley and Sons), Vol. Why Standpoint Thinking Should be Embraced by Scholars Who Do Not Identify As Feminists?

We then address, in the third section, the expansive figure of the archives in humanities and social science literature. Tse, Siu-Chun I am interested in the ways in which stories about passing as human in science fiction resonate with ongoing discourses about the human in contemporary society. In addition to the articles the special issue contains two separate interviews with Robyn Wiegman and Heather Love on current debates about critique and postcritique, addressing especially the question of epistemic habits. Specifically, bioconvergence is analyzed (1) as social praxis; (2) as bioethos, or, against ethics; and (3) as a specular ecology that constitutes a convergent episteme. Katariina Kyrl investigates the knowledge of Black feminist thought in the music videos of Nicki Minaj and Beyonc through the notion of disidentification, Kyrl takes feminist criticism as her object in asking what kind of racialised, sexualised and gendered power relations and affects are articulated in the habit of asking: whether the videos and artists are or are not feminist or empowering?

I am concerned with discourses about the boundaries of the human, such as human bodies and existences, and how these boundaries are established and negotiated in popular culture, specifically in the science fiction genre.

Finally, my stress on recent cyberfeminist stances is aimed at outlining the hypothesis of an aesth/ethics of technological positionality and technological embeddedness.

How does research worthy of our time look? Cain, Trudie Reinertsen, Hilde Additionally, acknowledging Haraway's own limitations via partial perspective, I follow her situated knowledges as methodology and include postcolonial writers, such as Chandra Mohanty (2003) and Linda Tuhiwai Smith (2012). I also rely on a genealogical analysis of the structures of sameness and difference that are made visible by contemporary biopolitics and bioethics. We contend that archival theory and practice have yet to fully engage with a feminist praxis that is aimed at more than attaining better representation of women in archives. and My work is grounded in visual and textual analysis of science fiction texts, mainly TV series and particularly the reimagined TV series Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009). We begin this piece by tracing the ways in which archives became embedded in feminist social movements and can be understood as critical tools and modes of self-representation and self-historicization.

Not only because there are so many ways to approach it, but also, because science has a certain progressive process, just like history, which makes change inevitable. Long-standing feminist and postcolonial debates about power and privilege as a matter of body, politics and the conditions of possibility for agency illuminate the incongruities of a dualistic world-view where fixed markers of, for example, gender, race, sexuality, ability and class serve to privilege certain bodies and not others. 2008. Within critiques of neoliberalism and liberal democracy, Wendy Brown (2005) has stated that democracy has produced " nothing other than ideological shells, " and, through various power relations, normalizes and governs individual bodies (52). 3 (Fall 1988). Feminist and queer epistemologies have been influential throughout the social sciences by means of the development of a set of interrelated approaches involving positionality, partiality, reflexivity, intersectionality, and the highly politicized thesis of situated knowledge.

Finally, we offer ways in which we see critical and intersectional feminist theory can contribute to existing archival discourse and practice, critiquing concepts that have remained unquestioned such as community and organization. In their article about Valerie Solanas controversial SCUM Manifesto, Salla Peltonen Mio Lindman and Sara Nyman and read the politics of philosophy as the grammar of patriarchy, claiming that the SCUM Manifesto text has critical, philosophical and political significance they also point to certain difficulties of judgement that characterise feminist and queer critique. Here ontology is not about knowledge of Being or existence as a kind of fixed entity, but as the material or physical conditions of, and the processes of, the world one lives in, is part of, and has access to, and the knowledge or experience that informs our ways of making sense of the world, ourselves and others in it. In an attempt to bridge the conventional gap between textual analysis and contextual inquiry, I combine close readings of selected scenes and characters in said science fiction texts with an analysis of current ethico-political discourse concerning what is considered or understood to be human in late modern Western societies.
