Opis

In this provocative book Vitellone brings a new approach to bear on the history of the troubling and transformative object that is the syringe. Through an in depth study of the policy and practice of needle exchange, Social Science of the Syringe situates the syringe at the centre of empirical inquiry and theoretical analysis.
