Regulatory and ethical debates benefit from taking seriously this 'third dimension' of culture, which often determines the configurations and limits of the space within which scientific, ethical and legal debate can take place. To fill this gap, this volume brings together contributions exploring the mutual relationships between genetics, markets, societies and identities in genetics and genomics. It draws upon the recent transdisciplinary debate on how socio-cultural factors influence understandings of 'genetics2.0' and shows how individual and collective identities are challenged or reinforced by cultural meanings and practices of genetics. This book will become a standard reference for everyone seeking to make sense of the controversies and shifts in the field of genetics in the second decade of the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarbara Prainsack\u003c\/strong\u003e is Reader in Sociology in the Department of Social Science, Health and Medicine at King's College London, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilke Schicktanz\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Culture and Ethics of Biomedicine at the University Medical Centre Göttingen, Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGabriele Werner-Felmayer\u003c\/strong\u003e is University Professor of Medical Biochemistry at the Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 30, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127579807879,"sku":"9781138053601","price":106.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/407607d6e995ef2b343b7fa9d0fbba06.webp?v=1732589445","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/genetics-as-social-practice-transdisciplinary-views-on-science-and-culture-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
