IN CONVERSATION: Feminist Phenomenology and Feminist Technoscience Studies

The aim of this conversation piece is to bring to the fore concepts and terminology that are used in the strands of feminist and other critical phenomenology on the one hand and feminist technoscience studies on the other hand and to inquire into their different meaning and address issues of translation between these theoretical frameworks. The conversation spans across different conceptualizations of subjectivity and subjectivities, a shared interest in subjectification and in the themes of bodies/embodiment, and norms about bodies, as some examples. Further, the conversation also includes discussion of terms that are used in one of the strands more often than the other or only in one of them, such as enactment or structures of experience. It also includes discussion of different understandings of a term that is used in both strands, but in different ways, such as that of constitution.
