The work of Donna Haraway is helpful in theorizing hypertext from a feminist perspective, particularly in terms of the politics and epistemology of hypertext. And in referencing Haraway, I take my cue from a statement made by Pamela Gilbert: “It is surprising that the early key printed works on hypertext and literary theory [. . .] do not address Haraway-or indeed, feminist theory generally. In fact these printed works deal almost entirely with issues of structure, reducing political components to issues of canon formation” (264). I agree with Gilbert that a critical politics and ethics must be central to a feminist theorization of hypertext--hence, the relevance of the cyborg principle. According to Haraway, “Cyborg politics is the struggle for language and the struggle against perfect communication, against the one code that translates all meaning perfectly, the central dogma of phallogocentrism” (“CM” 176). Hypertext is a cyborg literacy, and as such it is fundamentally political.
