Body Drift
Butler, Hayles, Haraway
As exemplary representatives of critical feminism, Judith Butler, Katherine Hayles, and Donna Haraway offer entry into the crises of contemporary society, politics, and culture through their writings. Butler leads readers to rethink the boundaries of the human in a time of perpetual war. Hayles turns herself into a "writing machine" in order to find a dwelling place for the digital humanities within the landscape of the culture of the code. Haraway is the one contemporary thinker to have begun the necessary ethical project of creating a new language of potential reconciliation among previously warring species.
