Remaking Life and Death: Toward an Anthropology of the Biosciences
ISBN: 9781930618206 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The boundaries of life now occupy a place of central concern among biological anthropologists. Because of the centrality of the modern biological definition of life to Euro-American medicine and anthropology, the definition of life itself and its contestation exemplify competing uses of knowledge. On the one hand, "life" and "death" may be redefined as partial or contingent ("brain death"), or reconstituted altogether ("virtual" or "artificial life"). On the other hand, the finality and "reality" of death resists such classifications. This volume reflects a growing international concern...

Thirty-five years after its initial success as a form of technologically assisted human reproduction, and five million miracle babies later, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become a routine procedure worldwide.

Dolly Mixtures: The Remaking of Genealogy
ISBN: 9780822339205 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While the creation of Dolly the sheep, the world s most famous clone, triggered an enormous amount of discussion about human cloning, in Dolly Mixtures the anthropologist Sarah Franklin looks beyond that much-rehearsed controversy to some of the other reasons why the iconic animal s birth and death were significant. Building on the work of historians and anthropologists, Franklin reveals Dolly as the embodiment of agricultural, scientific, social, and commercial histories which are, in turn, bound up with national and imperial aspirations. Dolly was the offspring of a long tradition of...

Born and Made: An Ethnography of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis
ISBN: 9780691121932 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Are new reproductive and genetic technologies racing ahead of a society that is unable to establish limits to their use? Have the "new genetics" outpaced our ability to control their future applications? This book examines the case of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), the procedure used to prevent serious genetic disease by embryo selection, and the so-called "designer baby" method. Using detailed empirical evidence, the authors show that far from being a runaway technology, the regulation of PGD over the past fifteen years provides an example of precaution and restraint, as well as...

Women and Slavery in Nineteenth-Century Colonial Cuba
ISBN: 9781580464024 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Scholars have long recognized the importance of gender and hierarchy in the slave societies of the New World, yet gendered analysis of Cuba has lagged behind study of other regions. Cuban elites recognized that creating and maintaining the Cuban slave society required a rigid social hierarchy based on race, gender, and legal status. Given the dramatic changes that came to Cuba in the wake of the Haitian Revolution and the growth of the enslaved population, the maintenance of order required a patriarchy that placed both women and slaves among the lower ranks. Based on a variety of archival and...

Before and After Gender: Sexual Mythologies of Everyday Life
ISBN: 9780986132537 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Written in the early 1970s amidst widespread debate over the causes of gender inequality, Marilyn Strathern's Before and After Gender was intended as a widely accessible analysis of gender as a powerful cultural code and sex as a defining mythology. But when the series for which it was written unexpectedly folded, the manuscript went into storage, where it remained for more than four decades. This book finally brings it to light, giving the long-lost feminist work--accompanied here by an afterword from Judith Butler--an overdue spot in feminist history. Strathern incisively...
