Abstract: |
The aim of the book “Gender, Science and Society: Queer Readings of Human Subjugation” is to demonstrate how the exploitation of (human) nature as a commodity is part of a capitalist, racial, sexist, colonial and misanthropic scientific regime of truth. To support this argument, we seek to explore the relationship between sex, gender, race, class, science, submissiveness and power within the context of Western science. We aim to challenge science’s traditional Western white interpretations of sex, gender roles, sexuality and nature and to explore dominant ideologies of eugenics and ableism by examining the mechanisms of these power structures through a critical queer, cross-disciplinary, and anti-colonial approach. We also seek to challenge the scientific assumption that binary sex is natural as a resource for the perpetuation of Western civilisation and the promotion of a “healthy” and long-lasting international superior race that involves the subservience of any other “sex-racial” race. Our approach focuses on the historicisation of the Western white science’s interpretation of sex, gender, class, sexuality and nature. This historicisation involves a critical analysis of the terms used to define nature, ethics, sex, gender, race, normality and class, as well as disability, criminality, pathological sex and sexuality and how science, from eugenics to genetics, responds to these questions. To summarise our methodology, we propose a new field of research, exploring the relationship between sex, gender, sexuality, class, race, age, and ableism as well as the urgency to decolonise science, sexuality and gender.
