VLVL2 dogs & Others

[pynchonoid]

Haraway's earlier book, The Cyborg Manifesto, has been
mentioned here previously, if I'm remembering
correctly...


Haraway, Donna J. The Companion Species Manifesto:
Dogs, People, and Significant Otherness. Distributed
for the Prickly Paradigm Press. 60 p. (est.). 4_1/2 x
7 2003 

Paper $10.00 0-9717575-8-5 Spring 2003 

The Companion Species Manifesto is about the implosion
of nature and culture in the joint lives of dogs and
people, who are bonded in "significant otherness." In
all their historical complexity, Donna Haraway tells
us, dogs matter. They are not just surrogates for
theory, she says; they are not here just to think
with. Neither are they just an alibi for other themes;
dogs are fleshly material-semiotic presences in the
body of technoscience. They are here to live with.
Partners in the crime of human evolution, they are in
the garden from the get-go, wily as Coyote. This
pamphlet is Haraway's answer to her own Cyborg
Manifesto, where the slogan for living on the edge of
global war has to be not just "cyborgs for earthly
survival" but also, in a more doggish idiom, "shut up
and train."
