Global Assemblages: Technology, Politics, and Ethics as Anthropological Problems

Global Assemblages: Technology, Politics, and Ethics as Anthropological Problems
- Used Book in Good Condition
Provides an exciting approach to some of the most contentious issues in discussions around globalizationâ€”bioscientific research, neoliberalism, governanceâ€”from the perspective of the "anthropological" problems they pose; in other words, in terms of their implications for how individual and collective life is subject to technological, political, and ethical reflection and intervention.
- Offers a ground-breaking approach to central debates about globalization with chapters written by leading scholars from across the social sciences.
- Examines a range of phenomena that articulate broad structural transformations: technoscience, circuits of exchange, systems of governance, and regimes of ethics or values.
- Investigates these phenomena from the perspective of the â€œanthropologicalâ€ problems they pose.
- Covers a broad range of geographical areas: Africa, the Middle East, East and South Asia, North America, South America, and Europe.
- Grapples with a number of empirical problems of popular and academic interest â€” from the organ trade, to accountancy, to pharmaceutical research, to neoliberal reform.
