    This document is an excerpt from an academic article by Donna Haraway published in Feminist Studies in 1988. In the selection, Haraway critiques the notion of objective, disembodied scientific knowledge and argues that all knowledge is situated and based on particular perspectives and experiences. She introduces the concept of "situated knowledges" and the idea that understanding is derived from our partial, subjective viewpoints rather than pretending we can see everything from nowhere.
