Recent debate about the ethical and regulatory dimensions of
developments in genetics has sidelined societal and cultural
aspects, which arguably are indispensable for a nuanced
understanding of the complexities of the topic. Regulatory and
ethical debates benefit from taking seriously this 'third
dimension' of culture, which often determines the configurations
and limits of the space within which scientific, ethical and legal
debate can take place. To fill this gap, this volume brings
together contributions exploring the mutual relationships between
genetics, markets, societies and identities in genetics and
genomics. It draws upon the recent transdisciplinary debate on how
socio-cultural factors influence understandings of 'genetics2.0'
and shows how individual and collective identities are challenged
or reinforced by cultural meanings and practices of genetics. This
book will become a standard reference for everyone seeking to make
sense of the controversies and shifts in the field of genetics in
the second decade of the twenty-first century.
