from cyborg
  • Beloved of Donna Haraway litcrit types. Somehow to a real AI hacker like myself, it seemed like a rather dumb concept. (Which probably means I didn't get it). Humans themselves are part mechanical (if not 100% so).
from vitalism
  • In her study of Ross Harrison, Joseph Needham, and Paul Weiss, Crystals, Fabrics, and Fields, Donna Haraway outlined the paradigm shift in biology in which the age-old dichotomy between mechanism and vitalism was reworked. According to Haraway, Vitalism was now seen as part of the mechanistic paradigm rather than opposed to it because both were limited by the same images and metaphors. "
from agential realism
  • Agential realism - Wikipedia (seems close to ANT/OOO stuff, but different names, maybe different phil schools). Seems Donna Haraway related.
    • For Barad, phenomena or objects do not precede their interaction, rather, 'objects' emerge through particular intra-actions. Thus, apparatuses, which produce phenomena, are not assemblages of humans and nonhumans (as in actor-network theory). Rather, they are the condition of possibility of 'humans' and 'non-humans', not merely as ideational concepts, but in their materiality.

    • Very influential feminist academic, posthuman, cyborgs...
    • A Cyborg Manifesto - Wikipedia
      • cyborg politics is the struggle for language and the struggle against perfect communication, against the one code that translates all meaning perfectly, the central dogma of phallogocentrism.
      • Well OK then. I'm running into some metaphysical stodginess.
