Reading Donna Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto.

Here is the cite for the work I am reading tonight:

Haraway, Donna. A Manifesto for Cyborgs: Science, Technology and Socialist Feminism in the 1980s in Haraway, Donna. The Haraway Reader (New York: Routledge, 2004).

I am ready to be inspired by this writing because I have read so many references and even a critique of Haraway before coming to reading this work. I started reading sociology of science and technology in 2002 or 2001. I started to read QA 76.9 in the middle 1990's actually. I still read many books from this library call letter. These books are between computer security and computer databases. But this lead to sociology of science and technology and studying this with Philip Thurtle in winter 2003. It was a cold winter. This winter upon us now is the warmest on record. I learned early on my academic career as I ended my first academic job that talking about the weather is polite. [Note on the topic of computer word processors: this has lead me to reading with nostalgia, for my own existing in the early 1980's as a young intellectual and beginning anarchist/socialist, the work Donna Haraway is most known for. In fact, this was her first writing on a computer. I would liked to have been able to write English on a computer and print it on plain 8 1/2” X 11” paper back the in the early 1980's, but instead I could only program computers then not write with them.] I reflect on this politeness in Haraway's comment on anarchists not seeking truces. I could trash Haraway from an anti-psychiatric stance in that she refers to psycho analysis. But perhaps psycho analysis is trashed by pro med doctors. Perhaps I should point out that the bio neuro powered psychiatry that came out of the decade of the brain was also parallel to the cyborg of Haraway's eco bio animal machine hopes for a rebellion from the father war machine of nuclear annihilation.

I like the term blasphemy of law which I coined while reading the introduction to her piece. When one studies law and mentions one is a criminal or suggests that crime is a solution one commits a blasphemy, but blasphemy rhymes with femininity, which is just another word that rhymes with the science fiction title Trinity. There an obvious religious blasphemy referring to a basic religious Jungian word as a science fiction name. And Trinity is some nuclear bomb reference too. But these days Trinity is the first super powered Matrix character, pictured as a running criminal, who can fly and do very quick Kung Fu. Crime is Kung Fu that hasn't been paid for. I doubt people who pay for Kung Fu lessons do crimes. I am rabbling. almost read to sing in this piece.

I got in a little discussion about music with the famous sociolgist of networks Barry Wellman on the weekend, when I came home from work. I was manic and it seem my manic states are ways of producing academic emails. This should stop. I don't need to be a 24-7 academic I need to be a 24-7 front line wage slave. Speaking of conversations I think I will open this blog up for comments tonight and leave the comments open for one month and see what happens.
