In "Feminist, Queer, Crip" Alison Kafer reflects on the history of the cyborg as both framed as a figure of futurist feminist critique by scholars like Donna Haraway, but also as a space of militarization, colonization and institutionalization. While Haraway frames the cyborg as an example how breaking down binaristic categories between human and animal, and human an machine may lead us to a more livable future, Kafer discusses how Harawary's analysis can be read as devoid of looking at how cyborgs, in the science-fiction imaginary and in actuality have been used as tools of militarization, colonization and institutionalization through the imagination of cyborgs as figures like Robocop and Terminator, the presentation of cyborgification as a cure for disability, and how the rhetoric of cyborgs was used in the mid-20th century in discussion around the involuntary psychiatric drugging of institutionalized patients.
