Situated Knowledges: The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective

Haraway, Donna
The concept of objectivity in theoretical & practical feminist activities is investigated, mainly by comparison with the respective nonfeminist notions. It is argued that feminist studies can, in theory, use modern critical theories of how meanings & bodies get made; the power of these theories would then be used to build lifelike meanings & "bodies," (defined as "a finite point of view"), rather than deny them, as often done in nonfeminist theories. Feminist objectivity, therefore, is defined as a highly positive vision of the existing reality. This vision presupposes partial, locatable critical knowledges sustaining the possibility of interrelations between elements, eg, shared epistemology. Based on the view from the body, which is described as complex, contradictory, structuring, & structured, feminist objectivity is thus opposed to relativism & simplicity. The body is also considered as the key goal of the proposed situated knowledges. Since these knowledges require that their object be pictured as actor & agent, the essential agentivity of the body is posited. M. Polinsky
