Life is currently one of the most active zones of politics and
economic production, as biological material is increasingly the
subject of engineering, banking, reproduction, and exchange. These
developments represent some of the most challenging issues facing
humanity in the twenty-first century and call for new forms of
engagement - and new anthropologies of life. Reflecting upon the
changing human condition, Palsson addresses various conflated zones
of life at particular times and scales, from the genome to the
human body and the global environment. Using a 'biosocial'
perspective, he argues, will help us to capture the hybrid nature
of life, enhancing our sensitivity to differences and similarities
in hierarchies, the reproduction of bio-objects and the exchange
between humans, other species, and the environment. Engaging with
topical issues on the public agenda, from personal genomics to
human-animal relations to the global environment, the book sets out
a compelling case for meaningful change.
