International, interdisciplinary conference
GENDERED WAYS OF KNOWING? GENDER, HUMANITIES AND NATURAL SCIENCES
Trento (Italy), Fondazione Bruno KesslerDecember 1-4, 2010
The aim of this congress is to push the question about the
epistemological function of the category “gender” further, in
particular from the perspective of multi-disciplinary and
interdisciplinary research. Since the "rupture epistemologique" of the
late 18th century science has fabricated tools for sexualizing the
objects of the world, while modern anthropology and biology have
contributed to the universalization of gender cosmologies and the
ontologization of binary gender codes. While gender studies have
challenged this binary construction, they have also had a share in the
naturalization of gender by using it as an independent variable. In
recent years, however, the critique of gender studies has contributed
to a self-critical reflection about methodologies and presumptions
underlying research activities in different fields (including gender
studies themselves), questioning the notion of knowledge itself.
