As the planet’s human numbers grow and environmental concerns proliferate, natural scientists, economists, and policy-makers are increasingly turning to new and old questions about families and kinship as matters of concern. From government programs designed to fight declining birth rates in Europe and East Asia, to controversial policies seeking to curb population growth in countries where birth rates remain high, to increasing income inequality transnationally, issues of reproduction introduce new and complicated moral and political quandaries.Making Kin Not Population ends the silence on these issues with essays from leading anti-racist, ecologically-concerned, feminist scholars. Though not always in accord, these contributors provide bold analyses of complex issues of intimacy and kinship, from reproductive justice to environmental justice, and from human and nonhuman genocides to new practices for making families and kin. This timely work offers vital proposals for forging innovative personal and public connections in the contemporary world.

Simians, Cyborgs and Women is a powerful collection of ten essays written between 1978 and 1989. Although on the surface, simians, cyborgs and women may seem an odd threesome, Haraway describes their profound link as "creatures" which have had a great destabilizing place in Western evolutionary technology and biology. Throughout this book, Haraway analyzes accounts, narratives, and stories of the creation of nature, living organisms, and cyborgs. At once a social reality and a science fiction, the cyborg--a hybrid of organism and machine--represents transgressed boundaries and intense fusions of the nature/culture split. By providing an escape from rigid dualisms, the cyborg exists in a post-gender world, and as such holds immense possibilities for modern feminists. Haraway''s recent book, Primate Visions, has been called "outstanding," "original," and "brilliant," by leading scholars in the field. (First published in 1991.)

Donna Haraway analyses accounts, narratives, and stories of the creation of nature, living organisms, and cyborgs (cybernetic components); showing how deeply cultural assumptions penetrate into allegedly value-neutral medical research.

La obra de Donna Haraway es un autentico cruce de caminos en el que confluyen diferentes disciplinas, diversas tecnologias y varias vias de construccion de la experiencia que entrelazan sus pasos en una coreografia siempre viva. Sus ensayos son, simultaneamente, historia de la ciencia, analisis cultural, investigacion feminista y posicionamiento politico. Como dice Helen Torres en su prologo a estas paginas, Donna Haraway es una cientifica que demuestra que la politica y la honestidad pueden ir de la mano y hasta fundirse en un abrazo, una academica sin miedo a jugar con el lenguaje, su principal herramienta, que utiliza para moldear embriones de mundos problematicos pero vivibles, habitados por monstruos que nos guian entre las cienagas del desaliento . Por eso, junto al reciente Seguir con el problema (Consonni, 2019), tambien formado por una amalgama simbiotica de textos, este volumen, publicado originalmente en 1991, constituye el otro eje tentacular del pensamiento de Haraway, un ejercicio que nos puede ayudar a practicar con responsabilidad las artes de vivir en un planeta herido, porque "e;a menudo, el futuro se da a partir de la posibilidad de un pasado"e; . Mujeres, simios y ciborgs: la reinvencion de la naturaleza recoge diez ensayos escritos entre 1978 y 1989, incluyendo algunos de sus textos clave, como el Manifiesto ciborg y Conocimientos situados , que avanzan los argumentos de la teoria feminista multiespecie y componen una referencia indispensable para pensar la situacion en la que nos encontramos.

Donna Haraway conversa en Como una hoja con su antigua alumna Thyrza N. Goodeve, escritora y académica. La entrevistadora conocerá al perro y al gato de la bióloga y filósofa, después de atravesar un jardín lleno de plantas cultivadas por la autora del Manifiesto para cyborgs.Ambas hablarán, en la cocina de la casa de Santa Cruz, California, sobre el devenir personal de la profesora, sobre sus referencias intelectuales y sobre las ideas que vertebran su trabajo. Aparecerán durante la charla vampiros, chimpancés y monstruos condensados "en palabras que difícilmente hubiéramos imaginado como generadoras de un pensamiento feminista", tal y como explica la prologuista, Helen Torres.Este libro es una llave para entrar, a través de un tono íntimo y divertido, a la obra interdisciplinar de una de las autoras vivas más innovadoras, relevantes y contemporáneas de nuestra época.Con prólogo de Helen Torres, y traducción de Matilde Pérez.
