| Abstract | This study focuses on the naming of body types in biomedicine, asking how onomastics might be enhanced and broadened via concepts from keyword theory. The focus will be on practices around intersex bodies. Certain ‘keywords’ represent particularly acute hubs of ideological struggle, and these words can serve as floating ‘rich points’ in which different powers can invest. Thus keyword analysis requires the analyst to look at how certain words are made and unmade in multiple semiotic contexts. The present study will apply this procedure to medicalized intersex somatic names, drawing on diverse data sources (i.e. interviews, medical documents, and mediatizations). |
