Haraway’s blurred boundaries

Haraway image

Haraway describes the blurred boundaries between “human and animal”, “animal and machine” and “physical and non-physical/virtual”. I think that the mythology structure in ancient Egypt (as referenced in the image above) represents these blurred boundaries well. While the virtual wasn’t a concept all those hundreds of years ago, the blurring between human and animal has origins within this civilization. By starting in ancient Egypt, one can see how the natural progression was to shift to the blurring between “animal and machine” and now finally, “physical and non-physical/virtual”.
