From Cyborg to Other: Reframing Identities within the dystopian world in Marge Piercy’s He, She and It

Abstract

This research strives to investigate the ambivalent status of Cyborg and reframing identities within the dystopian world portrayed by Marge Piercy in her novel “He, She and It”. A cyborg is the combination of an organism and a machine. The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of science and technology on the twenty-first century. Donna Haraway’s framework discussed in Cyborg Manifesto is employed in this research. In her essay, Haraway tries to comprehend the existence of cyborgs within a biased society. The feminist concept of “Otherness” and the “dystopian world” in the perspective of the cyborgs has not been much discussed in the previous research. This research will provide new dimensions for future researchers to critically analyze cyber literature.
