IDENTITY OF THE CYBORG

Cyborg imagery can suggest a way out of the maze of dualisms in which we have explained our bodies and our tools to ourselves. This is a dream not of a common language, but of a powerful infidel heteroglossia. It is an imagination of a feminist speaking in tongues to strike fear into the circuits of the super savers of the New Right. It means both building and destroying machines, identities, categories, relationships, spaces, stories. Although both are bound in the spiral dance, I would rather be a cyborg than a goddess.

A Cyborg Manifesto

Blurring of Boundaries--
The cyborg lies within the realm where man and machine begin to merge. Analyze the theories of Jean Baudrillard, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault.

Violence and Identity--
Probe the ideas of Marshall McLuhan on the incidence of violence on the Internet caused by the loss of identity.

Cyborg as Internet Citizen--
Consider the idea of the cyborg, rather than the human, as the inhabitant of the Internet.

Gauge Your Cyborg Identity--
Don't be afraid to question yourself to see how much of a cyborg you may already be.
