CORE DEFINITION

It advocates breaking down the rigid boundaries between human and animal, human and machine (biological and non-biological), and the material and immaterial. The cyborg, as a hybrid, subverts traditional dualisms (such as male/female, nature/culture).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

It provides a posthuman perspective on identity politics. In the age of AI and biotechnology, it helps us embrace "hybridity" and "impurity," viewing technology as part of the body and self, rather than an external tool or threat.

Anchor fast decisions

Donna Haraway's "Cyborg Manifesto" uses the cyborg as a metaphor to break down binary boundaries such as nature/culture, human/machine, and male/female, advocating an impure, hybrid, and de-essentialized identity politics to resist patriarchal and capitalist demarcations.
