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.

唐娜·哈拉维，1944年生于美国丹佛市，后在科罗拉多学院主修动物学和哲学，同时修读英语专业的课程。1966年获富布赖特奖学金资助，赴法国从事为期一年的进化哲学研究。1972年，哈拉维于耶鲁大学生物系以关于隐喻在20世纪发育生物学研究中的作用特征的论文获博士学位。哈拉维先后任教于夏威夷大学、加州大学圣克鲁斯分校，从事妇女研究和意识史研究。哈拉维长期从事对现代科学话语的文化解构工作，著作颇丰。其中最重要的著作当属《灵长类视觉——现代科学世界中的性别、种族和自然》、《类人猿、赛博格和女人》等，其科学文化解构工作已经构成了后现代文化批判当中的重要资源，被当代女性主义奉为经典，特别是她提出的“半机械人（又译赛博格）”概念，为人们审理后现代语境中人与机器、自然的“混血”关系提供了重要的理论视角。
