    de Catherine Waldby, Robert Mitchell, Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    Series series Science and Cultural Theory
    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.

  • Clinical Labor

    Tissue Donors and Research Subjects in the Global Bioeconomy

    de Melinda Cooper, Catherine Waldby ...
    Series series Experimental Futures
    Forms of embodied labor, such as surrogacy and participation in clinical trials, are central to biomedical innovation, but they are rarely considered as labor. Melinda Cooper and Catherine Waldby take on that project, analyzing what they call "clinical labor," and asking what such an analysis might indicate about the organization of the bioeconomy and the broader organization of labor and value ...

    Mess in Social Science Research

    de John Law ...
    Series series International Library of Sociology

It is usually said that only poor research produces ... Leer más

    A Cultural Study of Cancer

    de Jackie Stacey ...

  • Ethical Choices in Contemporary Medicine

    Integrative Bioethics

    de Mary Ann Gardell Cutter, Raphael Sassower ...
    "Ethical Choices in Contemporary Medicine" jettisons the standard medical ethics models of "rights" language and shows how the bioethical problems that receive attention from the media and the public are related to and are explicable in terms of the epistemological foundations of science and medicine. These epistemological concerns include how medical knowledge is established (scientific validity) ... Leer más

  • Laboratory Life

    The Construction of Scientific Facts

    de Bruno Latour, Steve Woolgar ...
    This highly original work presents laboratory science in a deliberately skeptical way: as an anthropological approach to the culture of the scientist. Drawing on recent work in literary criticism, the authors study how the social world of the laboratory produces papers and other "texts,"' and how the scientific vision of reality becomes that set of statements considered, for the time being, too ...
