Abstract

In this Introduction, we present a collection of articles under the topic “the reproductive bodies of postgenomics.” Through individual and collective research, the articles explore—sociologically, ethnographically, and philosophically—how bioscience in the postgenomic age is changing our understanding of reproductive bodies, and more broadly, how it is challenging existing ideas of heredity, embodiment, kinship, and identity. Feminist and postcolonial theories of technoscience are at the heart of this collection, and our aim is to further biosocial thinking while being cognizant that practices of postgenomics also continue to reproduce deterministic paradigms. The concepts of “knowledge,” “experience,” and “justice” form the reference points animating our investigations. We bring these concepts into conversation with one another to disentangle how postgenomics operate differently on the reproductive body, namely on the levels of practice, discourse, and norms. This is an important exercise as it will enable social science and humanities scholars to evaluate the political capacities of postgenomics for the future study of reproduction.

后基因组学的生殖体
在这篇导论中,我们介绍了一系列关于“后基因组学的生殖体”的文章。通过个人和集体的研究,文章从社会学、人种学和哲学的角度探讨了后基因组时代的生物科学是如何改变我们对生殖体的理解的,更广泛地说,它是如何挑战遗传、体现、亲属关系和身份的现有观念的。女权主义和技术科学的后殖民理论是这个集合的核心,我们的目标是进一步的生物社会思维,同时认识到后基因组学的实践也在继续复制确定性范式。“知识”、“经验”和“正义”的概念构成了我们调查的参考点。我们将这些概念带入彼此的对话中,以解开后基因组学如何在生殖体上不同地运作,即在实践,话语和规范的层面上。这是一项重要的工作,因为它将使社会科学和人文学者能够评估后基因组学对未来生殖研究的政治能力。

期刊介绍: As scientific advances improve our lives, they also complicate how we live and react to the new technologies. More and more, human values come into conflict with scientific advancement as we deal with important issues such as nuclear power, environmental degradation and information technology. Science, Technology, & Human Values is a peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary journal containing research, analyses and commentary on the development and dynamics of science and technology, including their relationship to politics, society and culture.
