Bioinformation Worlds and Futures (Hardcover): EJ Gonzalez-Polledo, Silvia Posocco Bioinformation Worlds and Futures (Hardcover)
EJ Gonzalez-Polledo, Silvia Posocco
R3,884 Discovery Miles 38 840 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book sets out to define and consolidate the field of bioinformation studies in its transnational and global dimensions, drawing on debates in science and technology studies, anthropology and sociology. It provides situated analyses of bioinformation journeys across domains and spheres of interpretation. As unprecedented amounts of data relating to biological processes and lives are collected, aggregated, traded and exchanged, infrastructural systems and machine learners produce real consequences as they turn indeterminate data into actionable decisions for states, companies, scientific researchers and consumers. Bioinformation accrues multiple values as it transverses multiple registers and domains, and as it is transformed from bodies to becoming a subject of analysis tied to particular social relations, promises, desires and futures. The volume harnesses the anthropological sensibility for situated, fine-grained, ethnographically grounded analysis to develop an interdisciplinary dialogue on the conceptual, political, social and ethical dimensions posed by bioinformation.

Painscapes - Communicating Pain (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): EJ Gonzalez-Polledo, Jen Tarr Painscapes - Communicating Pain (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)
EJ Gonzalez-Polledo, Jen Tarr
R2,593 R1,839 Discovery Miles 18 390 Save R754 (29%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book brings into dialogue approaches from anthropology, sociology, visual art, theatre, and literature to question what kinds of relations, frames and politics constitute pain across disciplines and methodologies. Each chapter offers a unique window onto the notoriously difficult problem of how pain is defined and communicated. The contributors reimagine the value of images and photography, poetry, history, drama, stories and interviews, not as 'better' representations of the pain experience, but as devices to navigate the complexity of pain across different physical, social, and intersubjective domains. This innovative collection provides a new access point to the phenomenon of pain and the materialities, affects, structures and institutions that constitute it. This book will appeal to readers seeking to better understand pain's complexity and the social and affective ecologies through which pain is known, communicated and lived.

Queering Knowledge - Analytics, Devices, and Investments after Marilyn Strathern (Paperback): Paul Boyce, Silvia Posocco, EJ... Queering Knowledge - Analytics, Devices, and Investments after Marilyn Strathern (Paperback)
Paul Boyce, Silvia Posocco, EJ Gonzalez-Polledo
R1,268 Discovery Miles 12 680 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume draws on the significance of the work of Marilyn Strathern in respect of its potential to queer anthropological analysis and to foster the reimagining of the object of anthropology. The authors examine the ways in which Strathern's varied analytics facilitate the construction of alternative forms of anthropological thinking, and greater understanding of how knowledge practices of queer objects, subjects and relations operate and take effect. Queering Knowledge offers an innovative collection of writing, bringing about queer and anthropological syntheses through Strathern's oeuvre. It will be relevant to scholars from anthropology as well as a number of other disciplines, including gender, sexuality and queer studies. *Winner of the 2020 Ruth Benedict Prize for Outstanding Edited Volume*

Transitioning - Matter, Gender, Thought (Hardcover): EJ Gonzalez-Polledo Transitioning - Matter, Gender, Thought (Hardcover)
EJ Gonzalez-Polledo
R3,270 Discovery Miles 32 700 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Transitioning: matter, gender, thought takes the body, its ontologies and temporalities, as a primary ethnographic heuristic to explore transition contexts, relations and life processes. Although in Britain the Gender Recognition Act has, since 2004, provided a framework for identity recognition for those who seek to live as a member of the opposite gender, this book draws on trans men's experiences to conceptualise transition outside this framework. Thinking through changing materialities, cultures and epistemologies of transition, the book brings together perspectives in anthropology, transgender studies, and social theory to think through how bodies happen, and the scales, assemblages, transmissions and indeterminacies in their process of becoming something other than themselves.
