Geno-technology is a technology unlike any other, with significant implications for life in the 21st century. It directly affects us at a deeply personal level, it poses a threat to the boundaries which conventionally define selfhood, it generates potentially novel risks and dangers, and it threatens the very basis of accepted understandings of culture and society. This unique, exploratory volume discusses the ethical, cultural and philosophical issues surrounding the search for the 'book of life', focusing on the mapping of the human genome in Britain, the USA and Europe. It examines the impact of genetically modified crops, food and pharmacogenomics, along with the science and technology policy issues deriving from the human genome project. The authors investigate the potential risks and implications of the new genetics and conclude with a discussion of how nature may be reconfigured to underpin developments in health, commerce, state regulation and the law, both on a local and global scale.

New genetic technologies cut across a range of public regulatory domains and private lifeworlds, often appearing to generate an institutional void in response to the complex challenges they pose. As a result, a number of new social formations are being developed to legitimate public engagement and avoid the perceived democratic deficit that may result. Papers in this volume discuss a variety of these manifestations in a global context, including: genetic data bankscommittees of inquirynon-governmental organisations (NGOs)national research laboratories. These institutions, across both health and agriculture, are explored in such diverse locations as Amazonia, China, Finland, Israel, the UK and the USA. This volume exhibits a clear thematic coherence around the impact of the new genetics and their associated technologies on new social formations, and the case studies included have a significant international focus, showing a balance between theoretical and empirical approaches in this rapidly changing field.This innovative new volume will be of interest to postgraduates and professionals in the fields of sociology, social anthropology, science and technology studies, and environmental studies.

What implications are applications of new genetic technologies in biomedicine having on social identity in today’s society? New Genetics, New Identities, a wide-ranging multi-disciplinary volume in the CESAGen Genetics & Society Book series, presents not only theoretical reflection but also empirical case studies drawn from an international array of authors. Including the highly controversial areas of reproductive technologies and use of human embryos in biomedical research, other key features include: a fresh analysis of a wide-range of social and political concerns in the development of new social identitiesexaminations of the social implications of identity formation as a result from advances in genetic technologies from a number of perspectives both locally and globallyresources of a wide range of social science disciplines to discuss significant sociological, anthropological, political and ethical issues.This superb collection is an essential informative read for postgraduates and academics in the fields of sociology, anthropology and scientific technologies giving a comparative approach to complex issues surrounding the social implications of these advances in a period of rapid social change.

One of the first studies of an exciting new development in global biotechnology, this cutting edge text examines the extent of the transnational movements of tissues, stem cells, and expertise, in the developing governance framework of India. Documenting the impact of local and global governance frames on the everyday conduct of research, this groundbreaking book traces the journey of ‘spare’ human embryos in IVF clinics to public and private laboratories engaged in isolating stem cells for potential therapeutic application. The discussion also examines the gender dimension as a potential site for exploitation in the sourcing of embryonic and other biogenic materials, and suggests that a moral economy has developed in which the ethical values of the global 'North' support and encourage the donation of abundant and ethically ‘neutral’ embryos by the 'South'.This unique exploration is grounded in an empirical, multi-sited ethnographic study that takes a thoroughly comparative analysis of the ethical, religious and social issues in Europe, the United States, and organ donations already prevalent in India. In this theoretically-sensitive analysis, the authors use the resources of social anthropology and the social sciences in an innovative text which will appeal to postgraduates and professionals in the areas of STS studies, genetics, bioethics, and anthropology.

Originally published in 1977 this book places sociological discussion of the secularisation process within a theoretical framework. The author explores the variety and depth of analyses of the concept in the work of social theorists ranging from the ‘founding fathers’ of sociology to 20th century sociologists of religion and shows how secularisation has become an ideological tool reflecting the particular concerns of Western sociology through the construction of a sociological myth. The author does not deny that changes in the place of religion in society have occurred, but suggests that by relying upon varieties of systematic empiricism sociologists have failed to provide theoretical justification for them.The study anchors the process of secularisation in theory, and offers a fundamental, methodological critique of a concept that has been the centre of much debate. The author concludes that it fits best into a taxonomy of religious change as a generic term from which a profile of the secularisation process in any society can be constructed; this may then be used in social planning as well as sociological research.

The title of this book derives from C. Wright Mills’ classic The Sociological Imagination (Penguin, 1970), in which he sees the essential project of social science as the use of the imagination to ''grasp history and biography and the relations between the two in society''. This enables the social scientist to ''range from the most impersonal and remote transformations to the most intimate features of the human self''. Another of Mills’ concerns was the relationship between ''the personal troubles of the milieu'' and ''the public issues of social structure'' and these are most acutely illustrated in human genetics, the most personal of the new technologies. The chapters in this volume address these issues through discussions of choice and informed decision-making, risks and hazards, the economic and political organization of new technology, and the public as well as the scientist’s understanding of science. The methods used range from detailed ethnographies, through deconstruction''s of text and action, to surveys and interviews.

Die Erzählkunst des Mittelalters hat ästhetisch so raffinierte wie gehaltvolle Textzeugnisse dafür hervorgebracht, dass etwa die Liebe derart aus dem Gleise zu bringen vermag, dass sie den Liebenden regelrecht zum Narren werden lässt. Die Narrenrolle - schicksalhaft verhängt oder temporär angenommen - dient den Protagonisten vor allem des Tristanstoffes in so pikanten wie intriganten Abenteuern als Betrügermaskerade. Dass aber Verkleidungsabenteuer mit närrischen Protagonisten ein immer bedrohliches Eigenleben entwickeln, macht das Lesevergnügen der Texte eines Eilhart von Oberg ebenso aus wie der Gottfried-Fortsetzer Ulrich von Türheim und Heinrich von Freiberg oder dasjenige diverser Schwankerzählungen. Die Studie konfrontiert ausgewählte mittelalterliche Erzähltexte mit Peter von Matts Intrigentheorie und arbeitet so deren je eigene Narrheitspoetik und Intrigenästhetik heraus.

In mittelalterlichen Texten haben Dinge so unterschiedlichen wie perspektivabhängigen Charakter. Dieser Band präsentiert für fast jeden Buchstaben des Alphabets Dinge, die in der deutschsprachigen Literatur des Mittelalters zwischen circa 1200 und 1500 vorkommen. Von A wie Apfel der Discordia über M wie Minnetrank bis Z wie Zaubersteine werden Requisiten prominenter Texte betrachtet. Theoretische Überblicksbeiträge, die systematische Zugänge zur Dingtheorie bieten, ergänzen die einzelnen "Dinggeschichten".
