ABSTRACT
Feminism is about the sciences of the multiple subjects with at least double vision. Feminist objectivity makes room for surprises and ironies at the heart of all knowledge production; we are not in charge of the world. This chapter describes a feminist writing of the body that metaphorically emphasizes vision again, because we need to reclaim that sense to find our way through all the visualizing tricks and powers of modern sciences and technologies that have transformed the objectivity debates. We need to learn in our bodies, endowed with primate color and stereoscopic vision, how to attach the objective to our theoretical and political scanners in order to name where we are and are not, in dimensions of mental and physical space we hardly know how to name. The chapter discusses the various contending biological bodies emerge at the intersection of biological research and writing, medical and other business practices, and technology, such as the visualization technologies enlisted as metaphors.
