ABSTRACT Evelyn Fox Keller’s work has long focused on the discontinuities that seem to punctuate discourses on living systems. The discourse of gene action, for example, focuses on the uncanny shift of agency from organism to genome, where the empirical ‘action’ of a living system becomes attributed to its genes. Shifts in these regimes of description become akin to conceptual transpositions, ‘jumping concepts’ parallel to the ‘jumping genes’ perceived by McClintock. This chapter will investigate Keller’s treatment of these shifts in parallel with her early work on slime mold aggregation, as both the holistic coherence of a living system or a discourse becomes visible through its sudden shifts - the Keller Effect.

跳跃概念和其他转换：生命系统话语中/上的凯勒效应

摘要 伊芙琳·福克斯·凯勒 (Evelyn Fox Keller) 的工作长期以来一直专注于似乎点缀着有关生命系统的话语的不连续性。例如，基因行动的论述集中在机构从生物体到基因组的不可思议的转变，在这种转变中，生命系统的经验“行动”被归因于其基因。这些描述机制的转变类似于概念转换，“跳跃概念”与麦克林托克所感知的“跳跃基因”平行。本章将研究凯勒对这些转变的处理方式，以及她早期关于粘菌聚集的工作，因为生命系统的整体连贯性或话语通过其突然转变变得可见——凯勒效应。
