Modest_Witness@Second_Millenium.FemaleMan_Meets_OncoMouse: Feminism and Technoscience

Product description Modest_Witness@Second_Millenium.FemaleMan Meets_OncoMouse explores the roles of stories, figures, dreams, theories, facts, delusions, advertising, institutions, economic arrangements, publishing practices, scientific advances and politics in twentieth-century technoscience. The book's title is an e-mail address. With it, Haraway locates herself and her readers in a sprawling net of associations more far-flung than the Internet. The address is not a cozy home. There is no innocent place to stand in the world where the book's author figure, FemaleMan, encounters DuPont's controversial laboratory rodent, OncoMouse. About the Author Donna Haraway is the author of Primate Visions: Gender, Race and Nature in the World of Modern Science and Simians, Cyborgs, and Women, both published by Routledge. She teaches science studies, feminist theory and women's studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
