CyberFem Poem

cyberdiva has left.
cybrerdiva has arrived.
cyberdiva drops homi_bhabha
cyberdiva activates gayatri_chakravoty_spivak.
gayatri_chakravoty_spivak says, "LEt me ask you how do *you* see issues of identity?"
cyberdiva activates homi_bhabha
homi_bhabha says, "Gee thanks for waking me up! I must have dozed off..."
gayatri_chakravoty_spivak says, "[to cyberdiva] You are most welcome!"
homi_bhabha says, "[to cyberdiva] You are most welcome!"
cyberdiva scrutinizes homi_bhabha's key word list...
cyberdiva activates donna_haraway.
donna_haraway says, "I also remember the dreams and achievements of contingent freedoms, situated know ledges, and relief of suffering that are inextricable from this contaminated triple historical heritage. I Remain a child of the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and technoscience."
donna_haraway says, "[to cyberdiva] Challenging the material semiotic practices of technoscience is in the interests of a deeper, broader, and more open scientific literacy which we will call situated know ledges."
cyberdiva teaches donna_haraway a new word.
cyberdiva teaches gayatri_chakravorty_spivak a new word.
cyberdiva teaches homi_bhabha a new word.
cyberdiva scrutinizes homi_bhabha's key word list..

cyberdiva teaches homi_bhabha a new word.
cyberdiva teaches donna_haraway a new word.
cyberdiva teaches homi_bhabha a new word.
cyberdiva says, "hi again!"
gayatri_chakravorty_spivak says,"[to cyberdiva] HEllo there! How's it going?"
donna_haraway says, "[to cyberdiva] Hello there! How's it going?"
homi_bhabha says, "[to cyberdiva] the subject matter at hand is..."
gayatri_chakravotry_spivak says, "[to cyberdiva] Subject position is something that we in fact cannot ourselves declare. IT is something that should keep us careful because a subject postion is assigned, and the word there is 'sign'; it is that which makes itself visible through our textual production sin language and action. IT is therefore given over to readers. There isn't *a* subejct position."
donna_haraway says, "[to cyberdiva] Whoever and wherever we are in the domains of technoscience, our practices should not be deaf to troubling interruptions. Interpellation is double-edged in its potent capacity to hail subjects into existence. Subjects in a discourse can do refigure its terms, contents, and reach. IN the end it those who mis/recognize themselves in discourse who thereby acquire power, and responsibility, to shape that discourse.
