In Situated Knowledges, Donna Haraway advances a radical reconceptualisation of vision as a material-semiotic practice, dismantling the epistemological fiction of disembodied sight. Rather than endorsing the traditional “god trick” of seeing everything from nowhere, Haraway insists that all vision is embodied, technologically mediated, and politically situated, thereby rendering objectivity a function of accountable positioning rather than transcendental detachment. As elaborated in the section “The Persistence of Vision” (pp. 7–9), visual systems—from biological eyes to satellite imaging—do not passively record reality but actively construct it through specific apparatuses of perception . This insight destabilises the assumption that vision guarantees epistemic neutrality; instead, it reveals how visual technologies amplify regimes of power, particularly those aligned with militarism, capitalism, and colonial expansion. Haraway’s illustrative examples—from microscopic imaging to planetary surveillance—demonstrate that all seeing is a practice of interpretation, embedded within historically contingent networks of meaning and domination. Crucially, she posits that “only partial perspective promises objective vision” (p. 9), thereby redefining objectivity as limited, locatable, and responsible knowledge rather than universal truth. The conceptual synthesis culminates in her assertion that feminist epistemology must reclaim vision not by rejecting it, but by re-embedding it within the body and its socio-technical extensions. Ultimately, Haraway concludes that true objectivity emerges through the ethical acknowledgment of one’s position within power-laden fields of vision, transforming perception into a site of critical accountability rather than epistemic illusion.
