What is (A) cyborg rhetoric?
To quote Dona Haraway, a cyborg rhetoric is: “A cyborg is a cybernetic organism, a hybrid of machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction. Social reality is lived social relations, our most important political construction, a world-changing fiction” (Haraway). Now, my definition of cyborg rhetoric: the use of texts or the internet to argue a point or to prove a point, or simply weaving my way through a book as words run through my brain, and as I make sense out of them I am demonstrating a form of cyborg rhetoric. The internet is a great example of cyborg rhetoric as it is all texts based; chat rooms such LamdaMoo are great examples of cyborg rhetoric, because they too are all texts based.
