Malady
2012
Flavors of mal - treatment assort themselves ill - spicing anticipation in pain pockets that throb memory as bruises do yet I seek you, your pit, chest, balls all un - clean as body as shell for me, h i d e o u t, as shell shaped by carving lap and rub, a hell habitat wanted, salted with sea that stings tongue probe, causes both retch and wet . . . and a belated of tear I the crawling worm, sin - fully soft seeking my/ your inside (Italicized lines are by Gregory Woods)

Class Formation and Workers’ Attitudes toward Education: La Pensée Ouvrière (1948) by Georges Duveau
2016
La pensée ouvrièrere pendant la second république et le second empire, Georges Duveau's classic but largely-forgotten study of French artisanal workers, focuses on changing attitudes toward work and education between 1848 and 1870, years which Duveau himself lauded as exceptionally fertile and creative in French social thought. How to explain such extraordinary fecundity? Partly, it can be explained by intensified police repression after Napoleon III’s coup, when the educational institutions of workers were repressed and they had to design new ones under the eyes of a suspicious state. Perhaps a more important factor, one suggested by the recent work of Thomas Piketty, is the ever-growing need to produce workers capable catering to the ever more sophisticated needs of the fabulously wealthy. The highly skilled artisanal production in Paris combined with the growth of factories created the distinctive conditions of French economic growth.

Awash in Urine: DES and Premarin® in Multispecies Response-ability
2012
[...]particular sorts of historically situated human beings, becoming- with the practices and artifacts of technoscience, play their part. Why tell stories like this, when there are only more and more openings and no bottom lines? Because there are quite definite responseabilities that are strengthened in such stories.

Aren't Athletes Cyborgs?: Technology, Bodies, and Sporting Competitions
2012
[...]in the context of virality of Haraway s cyborg, is there a place to say anything new? By reducing sport and technology relationships to body techniques, internal manipulations, or external technologies, those invested in maintaining the illusory primacy of the pure human athletic body (primarily sport governing bodies, competitors, fans, and those producing the technologies) can convince themselves that it is easy to determine what is and is not permissible within a given sporting competition.

Haraway's Viral Cyborg
2012
Even though she insisted that \"the cyborg is resolutely committed to partiality, irony, intimacy, and perversity ... is oppositional . . . and completely without innocence . . . not reverent; . . . [does] not remember the cosmos . . . [is] wary of holism, but needy of connection . . . [and] exceedingly unfaithful to . . . [its] origins\" - all qualities one might think required by a feminist politics and scholarship of the day - she spoke powerfully to but also/or U.S. feminism at the end of the century (a risky business at any time, even for a cyborg) (151). [...]she engaged, if not embraced, what many who were concerned about the human and especially gendered costs of the technology of modernity saw as a profound threat. Of a protein, organism, etc.: able to infect or interact with, or bind non-specifically to, a variety of hosts or targets\" (notice the \"or interact with\"). [...]it was precisely those elements of the essay that were \"troubling\" for some that were at the same time gifts to many others, disturbing the feminist \"us\": \"Haraway's poetic claim that the cyborg 'gives us our ontology' captured the imagination of many who were . . . starting to explore new identities and forms of social life and community made possible by the Internet\" (Sofoulis 2002, 101).

Materializing a Cyborg's Manifesto
2012
After catastrophic spring flooding throughout North America, 312 tornadoes in the southcentral United States in a seventy-two-hour period in April, a historically unprecedented summer drought in Texas, and a tropical hurricane in late August that devastates infrastructures in the state of Vermont and floods downtown Paterson, New Jersey, with fourteen feet of water, a candidate for U.S. president publicly states that climate change is undocumented science. Built partially on a decade of research tracking the post-World War II transformation of biology's key matters into militarized command- communication- control and information systems (1994, 243), Haraway s worldly cyborg in 1985 stages a feminist historical materialist re-visioning of how social relations of science and technology complexly matter within a networked series of local/ global transformations that the essay maps with extraordinary intellectual ambition and acuity.
