When We Have Never Been Human, What Is to Be Done?Interview with Donna HarawayUniversity of York, UK This interview reconsiders Donna Haraways Cyborg Manifesto 21 years after it was first published. It asks what has become of the three boundary breakdowns around which the Manifesto was structured - those between animals and humans, animal-humans (organisms) and machines, and the physical and non-physical. Against this backdrop, this interview examines the connection between the Cyborg Manifesto and Haraways more recent writings on companion species, along with what it means to read or write a manifesto today. Recent notions of the posthuman are also placed into question.
