摘要：Donna Haraway's “A Manifesto for Cyborgs: Science, Technology and Socialist-Feminism in the 1980s” remainsa major reference point for twenty-first century cyber- and techno- feminists. However, its broader political andphilosophical relevance has become increasingly obscured. The emergence of twenty-first century accelerationism,I will argue, calls for renewed engagement with Haraway’s iconic text. Through bringing accelerationism intocontact with cyborg ontology, I aim to show how accelerationism might benefit from further engagement withthe history of technofeminist thought. Such engagement, I will argue, not only assists in clarifying whataccelerationism is, but also contributes to developing what it might be, through providing productive responses tosome of its major criticisms. In reconfiguring the cyborg as an “accelerationist prototype,” I hope to contribute tothe ongoing elaboration of accelerationist politics, as well as demonstrate the continuing and perhaps increasingefficacy of technofeminist philosophy in the twenty-first century.
