Ten years after the Human Genome Project's completion the life
sciences stand in a moment of uncertainty, transition, and
contestation. The postgenomic era has seen rapid shifts in research
methodology, funding, scientific labor, and disciplinary
structures. Postgenomics is transforming our understanding of
disease and health, our environment, and the categories of race,
class, and gender. At the same time, the gene retains its
centrality and power in biological and popular discourse. The
contributors to Postgenomics analyze these ruptures and
continuities and place them in historical, social, and political
context. Postgenomics, they argue, forces a rethinking of the
genome itself, and opens new territory for conversations between
the social sciences, humanities, and life sciences. Contributors.
