论文摘要
在过去的三十年中，人脑及其在确定行为中的作用在学术界和社会中都受到了越来越多的关注。人类行为或其他现象的神经科学解释通常特别吸引外行人。因此，应以谨慎和负责任的方式提出可能影响个人，群体或社会关系的神经科学解释。特别是女权主义学者要求更加谨慎的一个领域是对性别或性别差异的神经科学检查。女权主义学者描述了在性别或性别差异的神经科学研究中可能存在性别歧视偏见的各种方式。在这种情况下，他们创造了“神经毒性”一词，以描述神经科学工作与性别歧视意识形态之间的纠缠以及“神经女权主义”作为对此的回应。在这里，我们旨在对当代神经女性主义文学进行概述。在第一部分中，介绍了神经女性主义文献中的共同分析水平，并更详细地探讨了研究水平。在第二部分中，讨论了最近的神经女性主义奖学金中的一些共同发展。为此，我们回顾了最新出版物，目的是为神经科学家提供对神经女权主义批评的扎实理解，以便他们可以从这种关键角度评估关于性别或性别差异的神经科学的主张。
Over the last three decades, the human brain, and its role in determining behavior have been receiving a growing amount of attention in academia as well as in society more generally. Neuroscientific explanations of human behavior or other phenomena are often especially appealing to lay people. Therefore, neuroscientific explanations that can affect individuals, groups, or social relations in general should be formulated in a careful and responsible way. One field in which especially feminist scholars request more caution is the neuroscientific examination of sex or gender differences. Feminist scholars have described various ways in which sexist bias might be present in neuroscientific research on sex or gender differences. In this context, they coined the term "neurosexism" to describe the entanglement between neuroscientific work and sexist ideology, and "neurofeminism" as a response to that. Here, we aim to give an overview over the contemporary neurofeminist literature. In the first part, common levels of analysis in the neurofeminist literature are presented and the research level is explored in more detail. In the second part, some common developments in more recent neurofeminist scholarship are discussed. For this, we review recent publications with the aim to provide neuroscientists with a solid understanding of neurofeminist criticism so that they may evaluate neuroscientific claims about on sex or gender differences from this critical perspective.
