Interdependent ecological transsex: Notes on re/production, a??transgendera?? fish, and the management of populations, species, and resources

摘要

Through a consideration of the politics of thinking about classificatory infrastructures, this essay questions whether the categories of sex/gender/sexuality, human/animal, and nature/culture are the best ways to understand the unfolding reorganizations of re/production that (post)industrialization, biotechnology and the emerging bioeconomy implicate. It argues for a re/productive orientation as a partial and incomplete step in devising knowledge about the systemic interconnections of living things, resources, populations, and species. As specific examples, it considers immunological re/productive medicine and the recent emergence of transgender fish as bodies and populations tying all humans and living systems together in the potentialities of what I will call a??shared interdependent transsex.a??View full textDownload full textKeywordsqueer, reproduction, transgender, species, ecologyRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true,"ui_click":true}; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/0740770X.2010.529254
