Plasticity and Programming: Feminism and the Epigenetic Imaginary

Richardson, Sarah S . - Personal Name;
Download PDF

The “living being does not simply perform a program,” writes French
feminist philosopher Catherine Malabou in a 2016 Critical Inquiry essay
on the new science of epigenetics (435). Epigenetics, she argues,
“unsettle[s] the equation between biological determination and political
normalization” (432). For feminists, the science of epigenetics holds a
“power of resistance,” offering political possibility through the “deconstruction
of program, family, and identity,” “fractur[ing] the presumed unity of
the political subject” (438). Similarly, in her 2014 “Politics Materialized:
Rethinking the Materiality of Feminist Political Action through Epigenetics,”
theorist Noela Davis proffers epigenetics as a resource for feminists
working to “rethink matter, its vibrancy, dynamism and agency”
