        The elephant and the dragon in contemporary life sciences

        A call for decolonising global governance

        by Joy Y. Zhang, Saheli Datta Burton

        This book provides a powerful diagnosis of why the global governance of science struggles in the face of emerging powers. Through unpacking critical events in China and India over the past twenty years, it demonstrates that the 'subversiveness' assumed in the two countries' rise in the life sciences reflects many of the regulatory challenges that are shared worldwide. It points to a decolonial imperative for science governance to be responsive and effective in a cosmopolitan world. By highlighting epistemic injustice within contemporary science, the book extends theories of decolonisation.

        Knowing COVID-19

        The pandemic and beyond

        by Des Fitzgerald, Fred Cooper

        Knowing COVID-19 demonstrates how researchers in the humanities shone a light on some of the many hidden problems of COVID-19, in the very depths of the pandemic crisis. Drawing on eight COVID-19 research projects, the volume shows how humanities researchers, alongside colleagues in the clinical and life sciences, addressed some of the major critical unknowns about this new infectious disease - from the effects of racism to the risks of deploying shame; from how to design an effective instructional leaflet to how to communicate effectively to bus passengers. Across eight novel case studies, the book showcases how humanities research during a pandemic is not only about interpreting the crisis when it has safely passed, but how it can play a vital, collaborative and instrumental role as events are still unfolding.

        Empirical art

        Filmmaking for fieldwork in practice

        by Andy Lawrence, Martha-Cecilia Dietrich

        Empirical art: Filmmaking for fieldwork in practice is an insightful exploration of what the craft of filmmaking brings to social science research. Providing creative avenues on how to narrate encounters, relationships, and experiences during fieldwork, this comprehensive volume offers a rich tapestry of theoretical explorations and explorative methodologies. Skilfully connecting the worlds of ethnography, art and cinema, the contributors in this book act as a compass for filmmakers and researchers venturing to use a camera and microphone to relate and narrate their research collaborations and fieldsites. Drawing from the authors' extensive experience in disciplines like social anthropology, environmental humanities, and political science, "Empirical Art" breaks down the intricate process of crafting ethnographic films that departs from the researcher's subjectivity. Covering aspects of filmmaking from conceptualisation to production and distribution, readers are equipped with a treasure trove of collaborative techniques, innovative approaches, and ethical considerations necessary to generate and examine storytelling practices in contemporary fields of study. The authors discuss the significance of the multiple roles that technologies of filmmaking play in reflecting on cultural practices, social dynamics, and (beyond) human storytelling and their transformative potentials. Whether a seasoned filmmaker, an aspiring ethnographer, or an academic seeking new dimensions for their research, Empirical Art serves as a guide to integrating visual storytelling, cinema craft and empirical research.

        My Life with Viruses

        A researcher’s history of the fascinating world of pathogens

        by Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker in association with Jeanne Rubner

        In times of the coronavirus pandemic many people have certainly condemned them, but Professor Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker has dedicated his life to researching them and is intrigued by viruses – even if sometimes he is keenly aware of their fatal effects. To mark his 80th birthday the biochemist describes the co-evolution and co-existence as well as the eternal ‘battle’ between humans and viruses. Winnacker takes up the cause of these ‘biological elements between animate and inanimate nature’ because they play an important role in fundamental research and genetic technology, and without them human beings would not be what they are.

        Die gläsernen Gene

        Die Erfindung des Individuums im molekularen Zeitalter

        by Helga Nowotny, Giuseppe Testa

        In den Lebenswissenschaften hat sich die Molekularbiologie als Leitwissenschaft etabliert, die genzentrierte Sichtweise ist zum dominanten Paradigma, das Genom zum säkularisierten Äquivalent der Seele geworden. Parallel dazu ist in liberalen Demokratien ein Individualisierungsprozeß zu beobachten: Dem einzelnen stehen alle Optionen offen. Die Kategorien, auf denen das gesellschaftliche Leben beruht – Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen, Eigentumsrechte an natürlichen und artifiziellen Organismen, die Verschiebung der Grenzen zwischen privat und öffentlich, die Rechte des Individuums gegenüber der Gemeinschaft und den nachfolgenden Generationen – werden durch die Vorstöße der Lebenswissenschaften tagtäglich aufs neue in Frage gestellt. Auf der einen Seite ist beispielsweise der Kampf gegen das Doping im Sport Ausdruck der Illusion eines natürlichen Lebens, auf der anderen Seite sind wir gezwungen, die Fiktion der Natürlichkeit aufzugeben und eine Koexistenz von Menschen und Artefakten zuzulassen. Das Individuum von morgen wird heute erfunden; seine Rechte und seine Stellung in der Gesellschaft müssen neu definiert werden. »Die Entwicklungen im Sport sind deshalb so interessant, weil sie in paradigmatischer Weise aufdecken, daß sich eine rigide Grenzziehung zwischen künstlich/technisch und natürlich nicht aufrechterhalten läßt.« Der Mensch lebt heute im Zeitalter seiner technischen Reproduzierbarkeit, und die rasante Entwicklung der Gentechnologie weckt entsprechend tiefliegende Ängste: Gehen wir unserer Individualität verlustig? Ist das alles noch natürlich? Und wer soll am Schluß nach welchen Kriterien bestimmen, was getan werden darf und soll? Um diesen Fragen nachzugehen, wählen die Autoren dieses Buchs einen erfrischend innovativen und provokativen Ansatz, bei dem liebgewordene Prinzipien aufgrund aktueller Beispiele aus Forschung, Gesellschaft und Politik hinterfragt und entstaubt werden. Viele der von ihnen gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden zur Entkrampfung manche
