This study is facilitated by following economic entomologists'' and ecologists'' changing ideas about different pest control strategies, chiefly ''chemical'', ''biological'', and ''integrated'' control. The author then follows the efforts of one specific group of entomologists, at the University of California, over three generations from their advocacy of ''biological'' controls in the 1930s and 40s, through their shifting attention to the development of an ''integrated pest management'' in the context of ''big biology'' during the 1970s.

Biopolitics and the Philosophy of Death

While the governance of human existence is organised ever-increasingly around life and its potential to proliferate beyond all limits, much critical reflection on the phenomenon is underpinned by considerations about the very negation of life, death. The challenge is to construct an alternative understanding of human existence that is truer to the complexity of the present, biopolitical moment.Palladino responds to the challenge by drawing upon philosophical, historical and sociological modes of inquiry to examine key developments in the history of biomedical understanding of ageing and death. He combines this genealogy with close reflection upon its implications for a critical and effective reading of Foucault’s and Deleuze’s foundational work on the relationship between life, death and embodied existence.Biopolitics and the Philosophy of Death proposes that the central task of contemporary critical thought is to find ways of coordinating different ways of thinking about molecules, populations and the mortality of the human organism without transforming the notion of life itself into the new transcendent truth that would take the place once occupied by God and Man.

God is dead. Thanks to the decoding of the human genome, the ‘word’ has been rendered into ‘flesh’ and ‘we can all be proud of our species as it closes in on this summit of self-knowledge’. Yet, the very architects of its decoding have also warned that ‘t. Provides a history of genetics in Britain from its inception as a science in the early years of the twentieth century. Seeks to examine the roots of these two paradoxical assessments of the decoding of the human genome. Explores the intersection of historiography, critical theory, and science and technology studies, aiming to reaffirm the inescapable presence and necessity of the 'Absolute.

Tillfälligt slut
Plants, Patients, and the Historian examines the relationship between the act of historical recollection and the coming "age of genetic engineering." Paolo Palladino provides a history of genetics in Britain from its inception as an agricultural science in the early years of the twentieth century to its contemporary biomedical applications. The book focuses specifically on the institutionalization of two cases-plant breeding and the genetics of cancer. More subtly, however, the author suggests that the ability to tinker with genetic material-which is itself a form of history-changes our understanding of the past. Like plants and patients, the archive is not simply a repository of the past, but is instead the principle of formation of the past, the present, and the future. In explaining the similarities and their conceptual implications, the author argues further that the same principle of formation that creates the historical actor, the plant or patient that once was, also produces the historian or geneticist who is and will be. Theoretically informed and empirically substantiated, Plants, Patients, and the Historian is an innovative study at the intersection of critical theory, science and technology studies, and historiography.
