Manifesty cyborgów: awangardowa wizja fuzji kobiety z maszyną (Hannah Höch — Giannina Censi — Mina Harker)
Cyborg Manifestos: Avant-garde Vision of Female and Machine Fusion (Hannah Höch — Giannina Censi — Mina Harker)

Summary/Abstract: In Cyborg Manifesto Donna Haraway writes: “cyborgs (…) make very problematic thestatuses of man or woman, human, artefact, member of a race, individual entity, or body”.This paper returns to the very beginning of thinking about this figure and examines thefirst protocyborg images created by Futurist and Dada female artists. I also look at Dracula’sMina Harker as one of the first Western protocyborg figures. I ask to what extent suchimages anticipated the new forms of subjectivity and how they made the relation betweenhuman-nature and human-technology problematic as well as thinking in categories ofgender.
