Abstract

This essay aims to discuss technical mediation through mobile devices, particularly smartphones, and its impact on the communication of young soldiers within the trenches of the war in Ukraine. Such mediation through smartphones and new media forms a unique context for contemplating performativity from an already dystopian surveillance context, further exacerbated by the survival conditions in the trenches. The essay explores the human/technological opposition, including critiques of scientific objectivity, and thus introduces the concept of the cyborg as presented in Donna Haraway's manifesto (2016). It underscores Haraway's critical contribution to socio-technical imaginaries and the defense of boundaries over mutual acceptance, challenging the dichotomies and binaries prevalent in Western epistemology. Therefore, the essay proposes a new human ontology that embraces the contradictions inherent to human existence, as opposed to the purism of Christian revivalism and other promises of modern civilization.
