This volume offers interdisciplinary perspectives on contemporary
biomedicine as a cultural practice. It brings together leading
scholars from cultural anthropology, sociology, history, and
science studies to conduct a critical dialogue on the culture(s) of
biomedical practice, discussing its epistemic, material, and social
implications. The essays look at the ways new biomedical knowledge
is constructed within hospitals and academic settings and at how
this knowledge changes perceptions, material arrangements, and
social relations, not only within clinics and scientific
communities, but especially once it is diffused into a broader
cultural context.
