MUNOZ CONTRERAS, Leah. New materialism and new biopolitics. Sexual difference and the trans body. Inter disciplina [online]. 2024, vol.12, n.32, pp.205-230. Epub 15-Mar-2024. ISSN 2448-5705. https://doi.org/10.22201/ceiich.24485705e.2024.32.86928.
This text aims to show the way in which the new feminist materialism (NFM) promotes a new biopolitics in trans bodies under the discourse of sexual difference of the philosopher Elizabeth Grosz (1994 and 2011). The characterization that Grosz makes of sexual difference, recovering the work of the philosopher Luce Irigaray, presents it as immutable and self-evident in such a way that trans bodies cannot cross it. Despite the fact that the NFM has been well received within a certain part of feminist thought, transfeminism and trans studies for its epistemic and political promises, Grosz’s work shows how the biopolitics that are promised to have been left behind reappears, in fact, under the new ways of conceiving the body and matter.
