In what follows, I read Latour and Woolgar’s contribution to science, technology and society studies in and through the work of Hortense Spillers, Sylvia Wynter, Saidiya Hartman, Frank Wilderson, and Calvin Warren to argue that anti-Black violence is not a peripheral component to the accumulation of gynecological knowledge; rather, it is central to the primitive accreditation of scientific knowledge in general, with gynecological knowledge providing a paradigmatic account to the indispensable fact of anti-Blackness to the conceptual economy of modern science.	cache/catalyst-35229.htm	txt/catalyst-35229.txt
