Synopsis "networked reenactments"

Since the 1990s, the knowledge, culture, and entertainment industries have found themselves experimenting, not altogether voluntarily, with communicating complex information across multiple media platforms. Against a backdrop of competing national priorities, changing technologies, globalization, and academic capitalism, these industries have sought to reach increasingly differentiated local audiences, even as distributed production practices have made the lack of authorial control increasingly obvious. As Katie King describes in Networked Reenactments, science-styled television--such as the Secrets of Lost Empires series shown on the PBS program Nova--demonstrates how new technical and collaborative skills are honed by television producers, curators, hobbyists, fans, and even scholars. Examining how transmedia storytelling is produced across platforms such as television and the web, she analyzes what this all means for the humanities. What sort of knowledge projects take up these skills, attending to grain of detail, evoking affective intensities, and zooming in and out, representing multiple scales, as well as many different perspectives? And what might this mean for feminist transdisciplinary work, or something sometimes called the posthumanities?

View Author's Page
Donna J. Haraway es una destacada filósofa, bióloga y feminista estadounidense nacida en 1944. Su trabajo se centra en la intersección entre ciencia, tecnología y feminismo, explorando cómo estos campos influyen en la sociedad y en la construcción del conocimiento. Haraway es conocida por su enfoque crítico hacia las ciencias tradicionales y por promover una visión más inclusiva y compleja del conocimiento científico.

Una de sus contribuciones más influyentes es el concepto de “ciborg” que desarrolló en su ensayo “Manifiesto Cyborg” (1985), donde desafía las categorías rígidas entre humanos, máquinas y naturaleza, proponiendo una identidad híbrida que rompe con las divisiones tradicionales. Este enfoque ha sido fundamental para los estudios de género y la teoría feminista contemporánea.

Además, Haraway ha trabajado en temas relacionados con la biología evolutiva, la historia de la ciencia y la ecología, siempre con una mirada crítica sobre cómo el conocimiento científico está imbuido de valores culturales y políticos. Su pensamiento invita a repensar la relación entre humanos y tecnología, promoviendo una ética basada en la responsabilidad y la colaboración entre especies.

A lo largo de su carrera, Haraway ha influido en múltiples disciplinas, dejando un legado importante en el feminismo, la ciencia y los estudios culturales.
