Acknowledging Butler as one of her “theorists for cyborgs”, Donna Haraway argues that “Butler has been consumed with an interrogation into the boundaries of what counts as human and into the limits of the concept”. More recently, critics have started to pay attention to Butler’s more general concern with the definition of the human. Indeed, despite her insistence that her fiction avoids “all critical theory”, a wide number of commentators have brought to the fore the critical relevance of Butler’s engagement with issues such as race and colonialism, power and agency, consent and oppression, as well as her representation of gender difference, queerness and queer desire. Butler’s rather grim view of humanity as flawed by a drive for hierarchies, her concern with the human body as a site of conflict, and her “insistence on hybridity beyond the point of discomfort” inspired her revolutionary utopian/dystopian approach to race and gender as a feminist African-American author. Butler (1947-2006), often referred to as the “Grand Dame of Science Fiction”, exemplify Istvan Csicsery-Ronay Jr.’s famous claim that “SF has ceased to be a genre of fiction per se, becoming instead a mode of awareness about the world”.
