Making Sense

I found Donna Haraways writing A Cyborg Manifesto made very little sense. She seems to be confused through out the work as to what she is writing about. She travels from topic to topic. Is she trying to write a serious piece on science, technology or socialist- feminism; a serious piece on politics or science fiction and fantasy. Does she want to write about sex or religion?
Her first four paragraphs are like a template for her whole piece. The first one she tries to compare politics to religion. She starts our by talking in circles about blasphemy, saying “more faithful as blasphemy is faithful (p516),” and never getting away from the subject of blasphemy. This causes confusion for the reader from the start because this first paragraph has no connection to the title of the work.
Her second paragraph she tells us that reality is fantasy/fiction, stating that the “boundary between science fiction and social reality is an optical illusion (516).” She says that a cyborg is both fiction and social reality and that “social reality… is our most important Political construction, a world –changing fiction” this whole statement is contradictory, how can reality social or political be fiction (not real). That’s like saying you hand is a figment of your imagination. Not only is this impractical it is non-sensical.
From this reality is fiction subject she jumps to the subject of sex and dreams shown by her statements “modern war is a cyborg orgy” and “modern production seems like a dream” in her third paragraph. In this paragraph she attacks heterosexualism saying, “Such nice organic prophylactics against heterosexism. (516)”
Her fourth paragraph is comparing fantasy to politics and talks about utopian traditions. Here in this paragraph she states “the late twentieth century … a mythical time, we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids … we are cyborgs.” I see no connection between these Fantasy creatures, chimeras and cyborgs, to politics or myself. As for the utopian traditions we have none there has never been utopia so there can not be utopian traditions.
These four paragraphs give us a good snap shot of what Donna Haraways work is about in its entirety. She should have picked a single subject to seriously write about. It is hard to make sense of what she is trying to say about her topics, when she does not seem to know what she is talking about she supplies no evidence. She only compares, attacks and makes contradictory statements.
