Abstract
This paper seeks to contribute to the debate on the relationship between nature and culture by showing the productivity of certain figures developed by three exponents of feminist studies of the natural sciences: Evelyn Fox Keller, Elizabeth Grosz and Anne Fausto-Sterling. What I would like to demonstrate is that the use of these figures questions what we call the subtractive model of conceiving nature and culture and highlights the multidimensional character and intra-actions of the processes of the development of organisms. Although in general the article celebrates the positions of these three authors, it also explores some of the theoretical and political difficulties of Grosz’s proposal.
