| Zusammenfassung: | Critique of naturalist discourse about gender domination must allow the denaturalization of gender relations, including its biological representation — sex. From this perspective, two major feminist ideas seem determinant : queer thought and black feminism are related in calling into question binary catégories — male-female, men-women, force-weakness — that are said to be naturel. Queer thought develops subversive techniques that trace the ethical contours of body language ; there are no practices or identities against nature. For black feminism, racist conceptions of feminity (“to be women” and “to be black”) are designed to lend support to a complex system of domination in which racial, gender, sexual and class oppressions are combined to maintain the material conditions of reproduction. |
