Abstract

This article considers the idea of gender hacking, particularly as it circulates in Paul B. Preciado’s Testo Junkie, and places this in the context of wider discourses of both bio- and computer hacking. Of particular interest is how a hacking paradigm has come to inform twenty-first-century theories of activist intervention, and the implications of this for contemporary conceptions of political agency. Drawing out the parallels between conceptualizations of hacking and transgression, the article considers both the possibilities and the potential limitations of thinking about sociopolitical changemaking in these terms. Ultimately, it uses theories of transgression to propose a rethinking of the distinction between engineering and hacking, with a view to negotiating the conflict between micropolitical hormonal intervention and ambitions toward re-engineering biotechnical hegemony in gender-hacking projects.

利用的艺术:性别黑客和政治机构
本文考虑了性别黑客的概念,特别是在Paul B.Preciado的《Testo Junkie》中,并将其放在更广泛的生物和计算机黑客讨论的背景下。特别令人感兴趣的是,黑客范式是如何为21世纪的活动家干预理论提供信息的,以及这对当代政治机构概念的影响。文章指出了黑客行为和违法行为概念之间的相似之处,并从这些角度考虑了思考社会政治变革的可能性和潜在局限性。最终,它利用越轨理论提出了对工程和黑客之间区别的重新思考,以期就微观政治荷尔蒙干预与在性别黑客项目中重塑生物技术霸权的野心之间的冲突进行谈判。
