Are you your genes? De-Sequencing: Identity Work with Genes
explores this perplexing question, showing how different forms of
knowledge must be contextualized to become meaningful. It is
generally assumed that the genomic sequence adds up to the
identity-forming material life is made of. Yet identity cannot
itself adopt the form of a sequence. As the authors in this volume
show, the genome must be 'de-sequenced' by human language to render
it interpretable and meaningful in a social context. The book
unpacks this type of 'sequence-speech' in engaging detail, adopting
a personal, social, cultural, and bio-political approach to examine
the transformation of human identity and reflexivity in the era of
genetic citizenship.
