Donald Haraway's "Morphing in Order: Flexible Strategies, Feminist Science Studies Research, and Primate Re-visualization" continues the themes in her representative work "Primate Vision" in a new context. The text focuses on the internal logic in which humans and natural primates have been molded into a multi-meaning "cyborg" by means of cutural-hitorical-symbolic practice. The primate experimental animals with built-in mechanical devices in the laboratory are the mirror images of humans who construct themselves through a technological base ,and humans are also the mirror images of primates expressed through the scientific vocabulary of animal sociology. According Haraway, "cyborg" is not only a condensed concept of "cybernetic" and "organism", not but also the trans-formation made in crossed practical field of selective immunology, genetics, sociology , insurance analysis, cognitive science,military discourse , and behavioral and evolutionary science-cultural discourses. only a technical-biological transformation of body function. It can be said that nature and its creatures ( including the bodies of men and women ) written in the symbolic practice of history-culture-material are "cyborgs" in the dual sense of technology and culture.
