书籍描述:生物社会学,遗传学和社会科学探索了基因组知识和技术创新所带来的社会,文化和经济变革。这一开创性的收藏使用保罗·拉比诺的生物社会性概念来描绘生物医学发展所带来的社会关系和自然,生物学和身份观念的转变。基于新的实证研究,它包含关于胚胎干细胞治疗,乳腺癌,自闭症,帕金森病和试管婴儿治疗的基因组研究的章节,以及关于基因组研究的期望和教育。它包括四个主要主题:* 新的身份和认同模式,如基因公民身份 * 机构的作用,从疾病宣传组织和志愿组织到国家 * 生物知识的产生,新的生命形式和技术 * 生物学中财富和商业利益的产生。包括保罗·拉比诺的后记和对英国、美国、加拿大、德国、印度和以色列的案例研究,这本书是新遗传学和社会科学的学生和研究人员的关键阅读-特别是医学社会学家、医学人类学家和那些参与科学和技术研究的人。 日期:2007年8月9日
Book description: Biosocialities, Genetics and the Social Sciences explores the social, cultural and economic transformations that result from innovations in genomic knowledge and technology. This pioneering collection uses Paul Rabinow’s concept of biosociality to chart the shifts in social relations and ideas about nature, biology and identity brought about by developments in biomedicine. Based on new empirical research, it contains chapters on genomic research into embryonic stem cell therapy, breast cancer, autism, Parkinson’s and IVF treatment, as well as on the expectations and education surrounding genomic research. It covers four main themes: * novel modes of identity and identification, such as genetic citizenship * the role of institutions, ranging from disease advocacy organizations and voluntary organizations to the state * the production of biological knowledge, novel life-forms, and technologies * the generation of wealth and commercial interests in biology. Including an afterword by Paul Rabinow and case studies on the UK, US, Canada, Germany, India and Israel, this book is key reading for students and researchers of the new genetics and the social sciences – particularly medical sociologists, medical anthropologists and those involved with science and technology studies.
