[EP7] Cyber-Consciousness: Fascism, Cyborgs, and Desire in the Postmodern World

Delving into Methodology of the Oppressed, the Sandovalian Semillero Collective offers their musings on Chapter 7. As a chiasmus, the chapter returns to U.S. third world feminism, examining how this vein of thinking prompts a methodology of the oppressed. Sandoval turns to the work of Donna Haraway, science and technology feminist scholar, to outline how feminist of color through critique “womanhood” and provide new proposals for examining the desires of citizen-subjects. Harraway’s oppositional cyber-consciousness opens the possibility of the citizen-subject's desire to unravel and, through decolonial love, forge a revolutionary politics and force. The collective ruminates on Haraway’s cyborg feminism, considering its utility as a differential consciousness, and takes seriously how our desires can be reality.
