  1. According to Donna J. Haraway,

    Monsters have always defined the limits of community in Western imaginations. The Centaurs and Amazons of ancient Greece established the limits of the centred polis of the Greek male human by their disruption of marriage and boundary pollutions of the warrior with animality and woman. Unseparated twins and hermaphrodites were the confused human material in early modern France who grounded discourse on the natural and supernatural, medical and legal, portents and diseases -- all crucial to establishing modern identity.The evolutionary and behavioural sciences of monkeys and apes have marked the multiple boundaries of late twentiethcentury industrial identities. Cyborg monsters in feminist science fiction define quite different political possibilities and limits from those proposed by the mundane fiction of Man and Woman.[Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature. Routledge, 1991, 177]
