Surfing Life is a study of surfing and social change that also
provides insights into other experience-based contemporary
subcultures and the nature of the self and social formations in
contemporary society. Making use of extensive empirical material to
support innovative theoretical approaches to social change, this
book offers an analysis of the relationship between embodied
experience, culture and the economy. With its ground breaking
theoretical contributions, and its foundation in an ethnographic
study of surfing culture in locations across Australia, this volume
will appeal not only to those interested in the social and cultural
phenomenon of surfing, but also to anyone interested in the
sociology of sport and leisure, the sociology of culture and
consumption, risk-taking, subcultures and theories of contemporary
social change.
Rapid technological advances, the establishment of large-scale
biobanks, and the exchange of data across international boundaries
raise a variety of questions for regulators struggling with the
problem of how to govern such stores of information and the
processes connected with them. Engaging with the pressing issues of
privacy, consent, access to data, and benefit sharing, Principles
and Practice in Biobank Governance draws together the latest
empirical research from the UK, Europe, America, Australia and Asia
to focus on these challenges. Current models of governance are
critiqued, principles and policies are debated, and new models and
theoretical frameworks are presented through this intellectually
stimulating, informative volume. This truly international volume
offers new insights from a range of disciplinary perspectives and
will be essential reading for policy makers and scholars across a
range of social sciences, including sociology, bioethics, law and
social policy.
