In the tradition of "Western" science and politics;

the tradition of rascist, male-dominant capitalism;

the tradition of progress;

the tradition of the appropriation of nature as resource for the production of culture;

the tradition of reproduction of the self from the reflections of the other --

the relation between organism and machine has been a border war.

The stakes in the border war have been the territories of production, reproduction, and imagination.

This...is an argument for pleasure in the confusion of boundaries

and for responsiblity in their construction.
