  1. On Some Failures of Nerve in Constructivist and Feminist Analyses of Technology.Steve Woolgar & Keith Grint - 1995 - Science, Technology and Human Values 20 (3):286-310.
    Whereas many constructivist and feminist approaches to the social study of technology share an antipathy to technological tietenninism, they offer an insufficiently radical critique of technolagy. Three main problems in "anti-essentialist" critiques of techno logical determinism are identified, all of which mean that such critiques remain committed to a form of essentialism.

  • Feminism, Gender studies, and Medieval Studies.Madeline H. Caviness - 2010 - Diogenes 57 (1):30-45.
    This article traces the multiple and rapid changes that have occurred during the past fifteen years, in theorizing "sex/gender arrangements". A secondary aspect is the reception, application and above all modification of these theories by some scholars of European medieval cultural production, in which varieties of difference are found that do not apply in modern societies. Deconstruction of the binary m/f (whether thought of as sexual or gender difference) erupted among feminist thinkers in the 1990s and eventually "queered" academic discourses (...)
