- Description
- Since World War II, the biological and technological have been fusing and merging in new ways, resulting in the loss of a clear distinction between the two. As this process permeates more of everyday life, the urgent necessity arises to rethink both biology and technology. The human body can no longer be regarded either as a bounded entity or as a naturally given and distinct part of an unquestioned whole. This book assumes a posthuman definition of the body. It is grounded in questions about today's biocultures, which pertain neither to humanist bodily integrity nor to the anthropological assumption that human bodies are the only ones that matter. In exploring current reconfigurations of bodies and embodied subjects, the contributors pursue a technophilic path while articulating new and thoroughly appraised ethical standards.

- Description
- This volume explores the interactions between gender and scientific research. It examines the ways scientists have researched gender throughout history, the influence of those results on society's perceptions of women, and the impact of those findings on the scientific community and on women, women scientists, and women's rights movements., The book is divided into two major sections, chronological and thematic. The articles in the chronological section highlight changes in time through historical eras and are international in scope. The format alternates between sociohistoric accounts and biographical essays listing and describing influential women in the field of science. The thematic section is divided into six subcategories and contains articles on the individual disciplines of science, aspects of human behavior, institutions, discrimination, and philosophical and theoretical critiques concerning women and science. Examples of articles in this section: the brain, mental illness, personality, hormones, menopause, homosexuality, race, nature/nurture, education, motherhood, religion, universities, professional societies, women scientists as leaders, and Nobel laureates. Other examples include: Feminist philosophy of science: Biologists who study gender/feminism: Historians of science who focus on feminism: Primatologists who focus on females/gender: Ecofeminism: Race, postcolonial gender, and science: Feminist science studies: Women's health movement: and Science fiction.
