Donna Haraway & Cyborg Theory


"Donna Haraway (born September 6, 1944 in Denver, Colorado) is currently a professor and chair of the History of Consciousness Program at the University of California, Santa Cruz, United States. Cyborg theory was created by Donna Haraway in order to criticise traditional notions of feminism -- particularly its strong emphasis on identity, rather than affinity. She uses the metaphor of a cyborg in order to construct a postmodern feminism that moves beyond dualisms and moves beyond the limitations of traditional gender, feminism, and politics."

Как говорилось на Seexi.net Читала на одном форуме,что многие девушки,которые собираются замуж летом 2011 уже присматривают платье,фотографов и т.д..Лично мне может показаться на первый взгляд,что это очень рано.Еще как минимум пол года можно спокойно гулять.А Вы как считаете?Нужно уже что-то думать или же я все-таки права?
