    de Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    Series series Science and Cultural Theory
    In light of scientific advances such as genomics, predictive diagnostics, genetically engineered agriculture, nuclear transfer cloning, and the manipulation of stem cells, the idea that genes carry predetermined molecular programs or blueprints is pervasive. Yet new scientific discoveries—such as rna transcripts of single genes that can lead to the production of different compounds from the same ... Leer más

  • Complexities

    Social Studies of Knowledge Practices

    de Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    Series series Science and Cultural Theory
    Although much recent social science and humanities work has been a revolt against simplification, this volume explores the contrast between simplicity and complexity to reveal that this dichotomy, itself, is too simplistic. John Law and Annemarie Mol have gathered a distinguished panel of contributors to offer—particularly within the field of science studies—approaches to a theory of complexity, ... Leer más

    de Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub, Adrian Franklin ...

While Pickering’s ideas originated in science and technology studies, this collection aims to extend the mangle’s reach by exploring its application across a ... Leer más

    As new medical technologies are developed, more and more human tissues—such as skin, bones, heart valves, embryos, and stem cell lines—are stored and distributed for therapeutic and research purposes. The accelerating circulation of human tissue fragments raises profound social and ethical concerns related to who donates or sells bodily tissue, who receives it, and who profits—or does not—from the ...

  • Chinese Medicine in Contemporary China

    Plurality and Synthesis

    de Volker Scheid, Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    Series series Science and Cultural Theory
    As a traditional healing art that has established a contemporary global presence, Chinese medicine defies categories and raises many interesting questions. If Chinese medicine is "traditional," why has it not disappeared with the rest of traditional Chinese society? If, as some claim, it is a science, what does that imply about what we call science? What is the secret of Chinese medicine's ... Leer más
