Figuras no dualistas de la naturaleza y la cultura en la teoría feminista. (Portuguese)

Non-Dualistic Figures of Nature and Culture in Feminist Theory. (English)

This paper seeks to contribute to the debate on the relationship between nature and culture by showing the productivity of certain figures developed by three exponents of feminist studies of the natural sciences: Evelyn Fox Keller, Elizabeth Grosz and Anne Fausto-Sterling. What I would like to demonstrate is that the use of these figures questions what we call the subtractive model of conceiving nature and culture and highlights the multidimensional character and intra-actions of the processes of the development of organisms. Although in general the article celebrates the positions of these three authors, it also explores some of the theoretical and political difficulties of Grosz's proposal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este trabajo busca aportar al debate sobre la relación entre naturaleza y cultura mostrando la productividad de ciertas figuras que desarrollan tres exponentes de los estudios feministas de las ciencias naturales: Evelyn Fox Keller, Elizabeth Grosz y Anne Fausto-Sterling. Lo que quisiera demostrar es que el uso de estas figuras logra poner en jaque lo que denominaremos el modelo sustractivo de concebir la naturaleza y la cultura, así como resaltar el carácter multidimensional y las intra-acciones de los procesos de desarrollo de organismos. Si bien es un artículo, en general, celebratorio de las posiciones de estas tres autoras, también se detiene en algunas de las dificultades teóricas y políticas del planteo de Grosz.
