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

Product Description

Provides an exciting approach to some of the most contentious issues in discussions around globalization―bioscientific research, neoliberalism, governance―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 “anthropological” 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 ― from the organ trade, to accountancy, to pharmaceutical research, to neoliberal reform.
