Donna Haraway’s political myth is the theme of this research, the investigation implies to understand this character as agent of feminist and social transformation trough three possible images. Firstly, we intend to know, in our society, who is cyborg, knowing that we are talking about a capitalist and western society. There is a historical retrospective about cybernetics, computation and medicine; there is also basics conceptions to the better understanding of the research. We conclude that the cyborg is not only a myth, there are cyborgs looking for a formal identity in some governments. After that, we research the cyborg in the imagination of Science Fiction in some movies and televisions sitcoms, we want to know, after all, if these cyborgs are fiction or reality and if there is a border between this categories. Finally, we look into the cyborg of feminist theory, where the political myth is the meanly agent of Science transformation. We conclude that new characters are need to re-build a Science in which the Man is not the center of the history.
