Conecta. Desde 1995

Autor/a: Sam Fernández-Garrido Prólogo: Siobhan Guerrero Epílogo: Mer Gómez ¿Por qué biólogues y clíniques necesitan escuchar e incorporar a las personas, los colectivos y las culturas intersex? ¿Cómo transforma este contacto el conocimiento experto de la biología y las recomendaciones de la clínica? ¿Qué implicaciones presenta para definir cuál es la longitud «adecuada» de una vagina y cuánto debe dar de sí (biológica y existencialmente)? A través de estas preguntas, Artesanías biológicas invita a un diálogo sobre la biología y la medicina desde las epistemologías feministas, los estudios sociales de la ciencia y la diversidad corposexual.

Esta obra es una aportación al campo de las...
