Cyborg Anthropology

Anthropology, the study of humans, has traditionally concentrated on discovering the process of evolution through which the human came to be (physical anthropology), or on understanding the beliefs, languages, and behaviors of past or present human groups (archaeology, linguistics, cultural anthropology).

Cyborg Anthropology takes the view that most of modern human life is a product of both human and non-human objects. People are surrounded by built objects and networks. So profoundly are humans altering their biological and physical landscapes that some have openly suggested that the proper object of anthropological study should be cyborgs rather than humans, for, as Donna Haraway says, we are all cyborgs now”.

Cyborg Anthropology is a framework for understanding the effects of objects and technology on humans and culture.
