Credibility and Legitimacy; About the AuthorsReferring to the focus of the biosciences on molecular ""particles"" of the human biology-such as stem cells, genes, and neurons-this account examines the relationships between culture, society, and bioscientific research. Showing that the atomized body is indeed socially and culturally embedded, in plural and complex ways, it argues that biomedicine and biotechnology do not only intersect with the human body, but also reshape our perceptions of selfhood and life. From a multidisciplinary perspective, this volume explores the biosciences and the atomized body in their social, cultural, and phiTechnology and civilizationBiotechnologyGenetic engineeringBiomedical TechnologyAnthropology, CulturalElectronic books.Technology and civilization.Biotechnology.Genetic engineering.Biomedical Technology.Anthropology, Cultural.303.483Liljefors Max1963-Lundin SusanneInnodata CopyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910534726603321The atomized body2645704UNINA
