对女性本质的探究及面向赛博格的思考

Inquiry into Female Essence and an Opinion in the Case of Cyborg

西方传统的人的本质理论实际上是一种以男性为主导的人的本质模式,通常忽视对女性本质的探讨。女权主义对此提出批判,并对女性本质进行探究。在赛博格社会,哈拉维怀疑、批判女性本质,主张赛博格打破传统二元论、模糊性别界限,人人都是赛博格。但哈拉维忽略了另一种可能:赛博格技术的介入将建构女性本质,为女性本质的展开和实现提供可能。在赛博格社会,劳动将成为女性本质,成为女性获得生存、地位和发展的最后堡垒。

Human essence in western tradition is actually a kind of male--dominated model, usually ignoring explo ring female essence. Feminism criticizes this tradition, and explores the female essence. In cyborg society, Haraway doubts and criticizes the female essence, and advocates that the Cyborg break up the traditional dualism and blur the gender boundary, and that everyone is Cyborg. But Haraway neglects another possibility that the involvement of Cyborg technology will construct the female essence and provide the possibility for the development and realization of the female essence. In Cyborg society, working will become the female essence, and the last fortress for women to get survival, status and development.
