Increasing knowledge of the biological is fundamentally
transforming what life itself means and where its boundaries lie.
New developments in the biosciences - especially through the
molecularisation of life - are (re)shaping healthcare and other
aspects of our society. This cutting edge volume studies
contemporary bio-objects, or the categories, materialities and
processes that are central to the configuring of 'life' today, as
they emerge, stabilize and circulate through society. Examining a
variety of bio-objects in contexts beyond the laboratory,
Bio-Objects: Life in the 21st Century explores new ways of thinking
about how novel bio-objects enter contemporary life, analysing the
manner in which, among others, the boundaries between human and
animal, organic and non-organic, and being 'alive' and the
suspension of living, are questioned, destabilised and in some
cases re-established. Thematically organised around questions of
changing boundaries; the governance and regulation of bio-objects;
and changing social, economic and political relations, this book
presents rich new case studies from Europe that will be of interest
to scholars of science and technology studies, social theory,
sociology and law.
