This book sets out to define and consolidate the field of
bioinformation studies in its transnational and global dimensions,
drawing on debates in science and technology studies, anthropology
and sociology. It provides situated analyses of bioinformation
journeys across domains and spheres of interpretation. As
unprecedented amounts of data relating to biological processes and
lives are collected, aggregated, traded and exchanged,
infrastructural systems and machine learners produce real
consequences as they turn indeterminate data into actionable
decisions for states, companies, scientific researchers and
consumers. Bioinformation accrues multiple values as it transverses
multiple registers and domains, and as it is transformed from
bodies to becoming a subject of analysis tied to particular social
relations, promises, desires and futures. The volume harnesses the
anthropological sensibility for situated, fine-grained,
ethnographically grounded analysis to develop an interdisciplinary
dialogue on the conceptual, political, social and ethical
dimensions posed by bioinformation.
