Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Donna Haraway
Relational temporality of becoming-with; the chthulucene as a register of multispecies kin time.
Space
Donna Haraway
Relational; sites of multispecies entanglement.
Matter
Donna Haraway
Substantival but reread as always-already entangled with machines and other species.
Observer
Donna Haraway
Plural cyborg-companion observers; multiple time-instances in multispecies temporalities. Cosmic-ordering: the chthulucene.
Energy
Donna Haraway
Standard physics with feminist-materialist inflection.
Information
Donna Haraway
Relational information of multispecies kin-making.
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
Haraway's cyborg-feminism was attacked from the Right as celebrating technological alienation and from radical-ecofeminist quarters as too comfortable with the machine. Her late chthulucene-and-companion-species work has its own tension with her earlier cyborg work — the chthulucene turns toward the worldly multispecies while the cyborg seemed to lean technological. Haraway treats this as productive rather than inconsistent.
