description Donna Haraway introduces the central concept that we will reconstruct in this work: cyborg. She defines this concept as a cybernetic organism, a hybridization between the machine and the organism, a creature of social reality and fiction, in other words, it is a being that survives on the border and is responsible for blurring and transgressing them. This concept invites us to (re) think about our categories, our uses of language and our way of facing life in general, since, together with other notions, it makes possible the emancipation of thought, as long as reductions and essentialisms are finally succumbed forgotten.Taking into account the aforementioned, the objective of this paper is to identify the conceptual operations in some feminist contributions from the concept cyborg. To do this, in the first place, we develop a methodology derived from the position proposed by Cassirer, who places special emphasis on the operations exercised by the concepts, that is, what things put them into connection. To do this, it abandons the substantial and metaphysical conception ofthe concepts introduced by Aristotle, to consider the concept-function, since the objects are second-order, without essential properties, are the result of the connections made possible by the concepts, unlike the Aristotelian logic that postulated that objects are a starting point from which concepts are formed by abstraction. For Cassirer, the concepts are analogous to mathematical functions that execute orderings, from which various series are created that create an order, because in it the elements become homogeneous among them because each of them represents that That brought them together.Based on the methodology provided by Cassirer's postulation, we reconstruct the operations that the cyborg concept does, concluding that it operates by producing three series that juxtapose each other: border transgression, oppositional awareness and affinity.The transgression of borders produces the first series, it links to the ability of the cyborg to stand between borders, confuse them and deconstruct them. Some borders that transgress are animal / human, organism / machine, nature / culture, men / women, mind / body, public / private, me / other, civilized / primitive, truth / illusion and total / partial.The second series generated is one that produces oppositional awareness. The series connects: local, post generic, identity construction, contradictory places and heterochronous calendars.The concept affinity produces the last series: acquiring a double vision, responsibility in our practices, the recognition of otherness, communication between different communities and groups.The series generated by the concept Cyborg avoid binarisms and essentialisms.

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar la influencia de las operaciones conceptuales en los aportes feministas desde el concepto “cyborg”. Para ello, en primer lugar, desarrollamos una metodología derivada de la postura planteada por Cassirer. En segundo lugar, en base a la metodología desarrollada, reconstruimos las operaciones del concepto cyborg.
