Thus – AJ and I resolve to explore the ocean from the figure of the cyborg
=AFF= (we might switch up the tags, but the cards will stay the same)

In Western thought, nature is constructed in opposition to the queer—difference is marked as __unnatural__ as a method of ostracizing groups of people
Merrick, 8  - PhD History (UWA), Senior lecturer at Curtin University (Helen, “Queering nature: close encounters with the alien in feminist science fiction,” 2008 Queer Universes: Sexualities in Science Fiction http://espace.library.curtin.edu.au/R?func=dbin-jump-full&local_base=gen01-era02&object_id=20732)//gingE One of the many paradoxes inherent in our use of ‘natures’ is emphasized by AND human’ are brought to the fore, including how both are variously sexualized.

This causes omnicide
Sedgwick, 8  (Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick,Ph.D. in literature and literary analysis, 2008 The Epistemology of the Closet)//gingE From at least the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah, scenarios of same- AND thought between minority potentials and universalizing ones be opened and opened and opened?

Specifically, our orientation towards the ocean is one that posits it as a subject to be examined and dominated instead of something that is living
Weinstone, ‘94  (Ann “Resisting Monsters: Notes on "Solaris"” Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 21, No. 2, pp. 173-190 http://www.jstor.org/stable/4240332) //GY Solaris begins, like all our stories of rebelling robots, cyborgs, and marginalized AND attempts at colonization and a subject  which can produce its own rough representations.

Our subjugation of nature has led to the commodification and oppression of women

====Within the novel Solaris, the character Rheya is a figure of the ocean that represents how masculinity is imposed upon the ocean as a method of colonization.

Reflection on Solaris allows cyborganization, a proximal logic that avoids classification

Cyborgs represent the queer other – we subjugate these “monsters” to reinforce dominant white male heterosexual narratives
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Weinstone, ‘94 <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif;"> (Ann “Resisting Monsters: Notes on "Solaris"” Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 21, No. 2, pp. 173-190 http://www.jstor.org/stable/4240332) //GY <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif;">Our monsters have always resisted us, and until recently, resistance was futile <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">. <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">AND <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">look at a contemporary resisting monster: Rheya in Stanislaw Lem's novel Solaris.

Technological fixes make environmental problems worse – we must reject the human/nature binary and embrace a more personal technological analysis before attempting to heal the wounds of Nature
<span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Even more important, the question arises whether or not Nature can heal these wounds <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">AND __<span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Human science and technology will fix, repair, and improve natural processes. __

====***A singular feminist identity is a tool of masculinity that ultimately allows the subordination of women, which also allows for environmental exploitation.
