Publisher Synopsis
Tthere has to date been no edited volume on the subject of biocitizenship. Johnson, Happe, and Levina helpfully fill this gap, bringing together disparate voices from various disciplines into a volume that is provocative and insightful." -- New Genetics and Society This timely collection offers up rich and generative archives for thinking about the concept of biocitizenship, and in so doing becomes a vital resource for discussions on how we narrate and navigate engagements with the materiality of bodies alongside processes of biomedicalization, entangled as they are with the interests of capital and the differential valuation of lives. -- Angela Willey,Author of Undoing Monogamy: The Politics of Science and the Possibilities of Biology Biocitizenship offers marvelous transdisciplinary perspectives on how health, bodies, and life are entangled in power dynamics manifesting variously in civic belonging and political subjection, social exclusion, and creative resistance. -- Jennifer Terry,Author of Attachments to War: Biomedical Logics and Violence in Twenty-First-Century America Read more...
