The assignment is to use a primary text (Technogender by Preciado) and use ancilary texts to view or interact with those ideas. The ancillary texts I have chosen are “The Egg and the Sperm” by Emily Martin and “A Too-Perfect Picture” by Teju Cole. Preciado introduces the ideas of the pharmacopornographic regime that produces modern binary gender. She says this is done through representation. This is where I want Teju Cole’s essay to come in which talks about black representation. Furthermore Preciado says perceptions and representations permeate every aspect of life including science.
