HARAWAY, DONNA
b. 1944
Staying with the Trouble (Permanent Limbo)
Haraway: the contemporary task is not to flee disaster nor solve it but to stay with the trouble, in obligation, with kin. CoCA's Accept Permanent Limbo button is Haraway as UI. The applicant does not escape; the applicant stays. The trouble is the queue. The kin are the other 847,293. The obligation is to keep one's record current. Limbo is not punishment. Limbo is staying.
