Just like the first theories in physics viewed atoms as independent
and surrounded by a void, our bodies' microscopic constituents are
often portrayed as disconnected from the body as a unified
organism, and from its cultural and social contexts. In this book
the authors examine the relations between culture, society and
bioscientific research and show how our bodies' singularised
particles indeed still are socially and culturally embedded. In
today's medicine, the biosciences are entangled with state power,
commercialism, and cultural ideas and expectations, as well as with
the hopes and fears of individuals. Therefore, biomedicine and
biotechnology also reshape our perceptions of selfhood and life.
From multidisciplinary perspectives, including visual studies,
theology, and ethnology, this volume discusses the biosciences and
the atomised body in their social, cultural and philosophical
contexts.
