Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this, the only biography of Septimius Severus in English, Anthony R. Birley explors how 'Roman' or otherwise this man was and examines his remarkable background and career.Severus was descended from Phoenician settlers in Tripolitania, and his reign, AD 193-211, represents a key point in Roman history. Birley explores what was African and what was Roman in Septimius' background, given that he |

came from an African city. He asks whether Septimius was a 'typical cosmopolitan bureaucrat', a 'new Hannibal on the throne of Caesar' or 'principle author of the decline of the Roman Empire'? |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Die synthetische Biologie versucht sich gegenwärtig am Re-Design ganzer Gattungen, arbeitet an der resurrectio längst ausgestorbener Arten zur Stabilisierung kollabierender Ökosysteme und greift mittels der enomeditierungstechnologie CRISPR gezielt in die menschliche Keimbahn ein. Für eine Kritik dieser prometheischen Biologie verbindet Martin Müller Ansätze aus Medien- und Kulturwissenschaft mit Designtheorie, Wissenschaftsphilosophie und Wissensgeschichte. Seine Genealogie der Zoëpolitik ist gleichsam eine neue Macht- und Lebenstheorie. Sie beschreibt einen ,Willen zum Lebenmachen', der um 1800 entstand. Dieser intensivierte sich und eskalierte im 20. Jahrhundert in der ,molekularen Revolution' und heute im Auftauchen der synthetischen Biologie, welche die planetarische Natur und das biologische Leben in Gänze als ein Interventionsfeld ingenieurtechnischer Kalküle begreift. Erste historisch-kritische Monografie über synthetische Biologie und CRISPR Neue Macht- und Lebenstheorie |
Synthetic biology is developing new hybrid forms of life for industrial applications, attempting to "resurrect" long-extinct species to preserve collapsing ecosystems, and intervening directly in the human germline with CRISPR.Martin Müller combines approaches from cultural history and theory with those from media studies and design theory as well as the history of knowledge to develop a critique of Promethean biology. |

In his Genealogy of Zoëpolitics, he formulates a new theory of the "vivification of power" that has occurred around 1800. He shows how the "will to make life" intensified during the molecular revolution in the 20th century and is now escalating with the emergence of synthetic biology. Nature, from atom to atmosphere, has become a field of intervention for rigorous engineering and design.
