Виртуалният спекулум" в Новия световен ред
The Virtual Speculum in the New World Order

Summary/Abstract: Beginning by reading a 1992 feminist appropriation of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam — in a cartoon in which the finger of a male Adamic woman touches a computer keyboard while the god-like VDT screen shows a disembodies fetus — Virtual Speculum argues for a broader conception of "new reproductive technologies" in order to foreground justice and freedom projects for differently situated women in the New World order. Broadly conceptualized reproductive practices must be central to social theory in general and to technoscience studies in particular. Tying together the politics of self help and women's health movements in the United States in the 1970s with positions of reproductive freedom articulated within the Legal Defense and Educational Fund in the 1990's the paper examines recent work in feminist science studies coming from several disciplinary and activist locations. Statistical analysis and ethnography emerge as critical feminist technologies for producing convincing representations of reproduction of inequality.
