[sum] human

In this week, we talk about "human". Haraway likens "cyborg" to the political identity of "women of color," which "marks out a self-consciously constructed space that cannot affirm the capacity to act on the basis of natural identification, but only on the basis of conscious coalition, of affinity, of political kinship" (ibid). The "Cyborg" though, is grounded in "political-scientific" analysis. This analysis takes up most of the manifesto.

In this week, we talk about Computer-Aid. Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is a design-oriented academic field bringing together social psychologists, sociologists, and computer scientists, among others. Despite the variety of disciplines, CSCW is an identifiable research field focused on understanding characteristics of interdependent group work with the objective of designing adequate computer-based technology to support such cooperative work. Winograd and Flores present a methodology for CSCW analysis and design. They think conversations are sequences of actions because by saying things people are understood to be doing things; Technologies embody social, political, cultural, economic and philosophical ideas and relationships.
