Abstract

This interview reconsiders Donna Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto 21 years after it was first published. It asks what has become of the three boundary breakdowns around which the Manifesto was structured - those between animals and humans, animal-humans (organisms) and machines, and the `physical and non-physical'. Against this backdrop, this interview examines the connection between the Cyborg Manifesto and Haraway's more recent writings on companion species, along with what it means to read or write a `manifesto' today. Recent notions of the `posthuman' are also placed into question.
