The Gender of Things: How Epistemic and Technological Objects Become Gendered

The Gender of Things: How Epistemic and Technological Objects Become Gendered - Maria Rentetzi

The Gender of Things: How Epistemic and Technological Objects Become Gendered

The Gender of Things is a highly interdisciplinary book that explores the power relationship between gender and the material culture of technoscience, addressing a seemingly straightforward question: How does a thing--such as a spacesuit, a humanoid robot, or a surgical instrument--become a gendered object?

These 14 short chapters cover an original selection of "things" from cosmeceuticals to early motor scooters, from Scrum boards to border walls, and from robots to the human body and its parts. By historically examining how significance has been attached to specific things and how things were designed and produced, the chapters reveal how the concept of gender has been embedded and finds expression in the material world of science and technology. With insights from science and technology studies (STS), anthropology, the history of ergonomics, museum studies, the history of science, technology, and medicine but also the philosophy and sociology of technology and feminist new materialism, this collection reminds us that our material creations not only bear knowledge about our world.

The Gender of Things will be of key interest to undergraduate and graduate students and research scholars of STS as well as gender studies.

The Intorduction and Chapter 4 of this book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http: //www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
