Abstract

Empirically centring the hitherto unexplored mainstream Danish-Greenlandic Depo-Provera media debate, in this article, we show how syringes of synthetic progesterone circulated across bodies, borders, generations, and species to reproduce and disrupt animacy hierarchies in ‘post-colonial’ times. Feminist scholars have attended to the reproductive injustices revealed in the unequal global distribution of Depo-Provera. However, these critiques have not been brought into conversation with recent environmental humanities scholarship tracing toxic relationalities and their connections to toxic power hierarchies such as settler colonialism. This article connects this scholarship by foregrounding the ways in which birth control injections not only worked on feminised bodies to prevent pregnancies but also to highlight – and further expose – subordinated groups of reproductive subjects, rendered abnormal on the basis of ideas about agency and cognitive ability. To be treated with Depo-Provera was, in the debates, to be marked as Other – and to be marked as Other was to be marked as a candidate for ‘The Shot’.
对于雪橇狗和女人:丹麦/格陵兰Depo-Provera辩论中的激素避孕和动物等级
在这篇文章中,我们以迄今为止尚未探索的丹麦-格陵兰主流Depo-Provera媒体辩论为中心,展示了合成黄体酮的注射器如何在身体、边界、世代和物种之间流通,以繁殖和破坏“后殖民”时代的动物等级制度。女权主义学者关注的是生育不公平现象在全球范围内的不平等分布。然而,这些批评并没有与最近的环境人文学者进行对话,这些学者追踪有毒的关系及其与定居者殖民主义等有毒权力等级的联系。这篇文章通过强调节育注射不仅在女性化的身体上起到预防怀孕的作用,而且还突出并进一步暴露了生殖主体的从属群体,这些群体在代理和认知能力的基础上变得异常。在辩论中,与Depo-Provera一起被认为是“他者”,而被认为是“他者”,则被认为是“那一枪”的候选人。
