Notes:

  • Cyborg as a metaphor.
  • Third party – bridges gaps – not X or Y but Z.
  • War is a cyborg orgy creating destruction.
  • A world without gender (with questionable reference to ‘typical feminist’).
  • Cyborg does not remember the cosmos.
  • Determinist?
  • Fractured identities – we all have multiple identities.
  • Cyborg writing – there is power to be had.
  • Dualisms: black/white, male/female, primitive/non-primitive. Cyborg ignores dualism. One is too few, but two are too many.
  • We are cyborgs.
