Resumo

This essay argues for situated knowledges, a feminist and socialist alternative to the traditional view of objectivity in science. It challenges the idea of a single, universal truth and instead emphasizes the importance of perspective and context in shaping knowledge. Haraway critiques the "god trick" of traditional science, which claims to offer a view from nowhere, and proposes a vision of objectivity based on partial perspectives and situated knowledges. She argues that embracing our situatedness, rather than trying to transcend it, allows for more responsible and accountable knowledge production. The essay explores these ideas through the metaphor of vision, drawing on feminist theory, socialist critiques of science, and poststructuralist thought. It concludes by advocating for a politics of location, where knowledge is understood as a product of specific social and historical contexts.
