Venla Oikkonen approaches population genetics as an evolving set of technological, material, narrative and affective practices, arguing that these practices are engaged in multiple forms of belonging that are often mutually contradictory. Considering scientific, popular and fictional texts, with several carefully selected case studies spanning three decades, the author traces shifts in the affective, material and gendered preconditions of population genetic visions of belonging. Topics encompass the debate about Mitochondrial Eve, ancient human DNA, temporality and nostalgia, commercial genetic ancestry tests, and tensions between continental and national genetic inheritance. The book will be of particular interest to scholars and students of science and technology studies, cultural studies, sociology, and gender studies.. | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | Genomics; Popular Science; Gender studies; Queer Studies; Technoscience; Cultural Studies; Temporality; Mit | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-62881-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-87418-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-62881-3 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
