Modest_Witness@Second_Millenium Authors Donna Haraway University of California Pau Pitarch (trad.) Mujeres y Textualidad, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Abstract The article discusses the figure of the British scientist Robert Boyle as the construction of the modern image of scientific authority and objectivity through social and literary technologies that systematically exclude non-hegemonic groups (women, colored people).
