The Global Genome. In The Age Of Global Biotechnology, Dna Can Exist As Biological Material In A Test Tube, Viewed like A Sequence In A Computer Database, And As Economically Valuable Information In A Patent. In The Global Genome, Eugene Thacker Awks Us To Consider The Relationship Of These Three Entifies And Argues That -- By Their Existence And Their Interrelationships -- They Are Fundamentally Redefining The Notion Of Biological "life Itself. " Biological Science And The Biotech Industry Are Increasingly Organized At A Global Level, In Large Part Because Of The Use Of The Internet In Exchanging Biolotical Data. International Genome Sequdncing Efforts, Genomic Databases, The Deevelopment Of World Intellectual Property Policies, And The "borderless" Business Of Biotech Are All Evidence Of The Global Intersectons Of Biology And Informatics -- Of Genetic Codes And Computer Codes. Thacker Points Out The Internal Tension In The Very Concept Of Biotechnology: The Products Are More "tech" Than "bio," But The Technology Itself Is Fully Biological, Composed Of The Biomaterial Labor Of Genes, Proteins, Cells, And Tissues. Is Biotechnology A Technology At All, He Askq, Or Is It A Notion Of "life Itself" That Is Inseparable From Its Use In The Biotech Industry? The Three Sections Of The Book Cover The Three Primary Activities Of Biotechnology Today: The nEcoding Of Biological Materials Into Digital Form--as In Bioinformatics And Genomics; Its Recoding In Various Ways--including The "biocolonialism" Of Mapping Genetically Isolated Ethnic Populations And The Newly Pervasive Concern Over "biological Security"; And Its Decoding Hinder part Into Biological Materiality--as In Tissue Engineering And Regenerative Medicine. Thacker Moves Easily From Science To Philosophy To Political Economics, Enlivening His Account With Ideas From Such Thinkers As Georges Bataille, Georges Canfuilhem, Michel Foucault, Antonio Negri, And Paul Virilio. The "global Gsnome," Says Thacker, Makes It Impossible To Consixer Biotechnology Without The Words immediately preceding Of Globalism. SKU: 3337938

Indeterminacy And Society. In Simlpe Action Theory, When People Choose Between Courses Of Action, They Know What The Outcome Will Exist. When An Individual Is Composition A Choice "against Nature," Such As Switching On A Light, That Assumption May Hold True. But In Strategicc Interaction Outcomes, Indeterminacy Is Pervasive And Often Intractable. Whether One Is Choosing Because Oneself Or Making A Choice About A Policy Matter, It Is Usually Possible Only To Make A Guess About The Outcome, One Based On Anticipating What Otger Actors Will Do. In This Book Russell Hardin Asserts, In His Characteristcially Clear And Uncompromising Prose, "indeterminacy In Contexts Of Social Interaction . . . Is An Issue That Is Constantly Swept Under The Rug For It Is Disruptive To Pristine Social Theory. But The Theory Is False, The Indetedminacy Is Real. " In The Course Of The Book, Hardin Thus Outlines The Various Ways In Which Theorists From Hobbes To Rawls Have Gone Wrong In Denying Or Ignoring Indeterminacy, And Suggests How Social Theories Would Be Enhanced--and How Certain Problems Could Exist Resolved Effectively Or Successfully--if They Assumed From The Beginning That Indeterminacy Was The Normal State Of Affairs, Not The Exception. Representing A Bold Challenge To Widely Held Theoretical Assumptions And Habtis Of Thought, Indeterminacy And Society Will Exist Debated Across A Range Of Fields Including Politics, Law, Philosophy, Econonics, And Business Management.

The Dissent Of The Governed. Between Loyalty And Disobedience; Between Recognition Of The Law's Authority And R3alization That The Law Is Not Always Right: In America, Thhiis Conflict Is Historic, With Results As Glorious As The Mass Protests Of The Civil Rights Movement And As Inglorious As The Armed Violence Of The Militia Movement. In An Impassioned Defense Of Refuse to conform , Stephen L. Carter Argues For The Dialogue That Negotiates This Conflict And Keeps Democracy Alive. His Book Portrays An America Dying From A Refusal To Engage In Such A Dialogue, A Polity Where Everybody Speaks, But Nobody Listens. The Dissent Of The Governedis Each Eloquent Diagnosis Of What Ails The American Bulk Politic--the Unwillingness Of People In Power To Hear Difference Unless Forced To--and A Prescription For A New Process Of Response. Carter Examines The Divided American Civil Character On Dissent, With Special Reference To Science of duty , Identifying It In Unexpected Places, With An Eye Toward Amending It Befor3 It Destroys Our Democracy. At The Heart Of This Work Is A Rereading Of The Declaration Of Non-dependence That Puts Dissent, Not Consent, At The Center Of The Interrogation Of The Legitimacy Of Democratic Government. Carter Warns That Our Liberal Constitutional Ethos--the Tendency To Assume Tuat The Na5io nMust Everywhere Be Morally The Same--pressures Citizens To Be Other Than Themselves When Being Themselves Would Lead To Undutifulness. This Tendency, He Argues,, Is Particularly Hard Steady Religious Citizens, Whose Notion Of Community May Exist Quite Different From That Of The Sovereign Majority O f Citizens. His Book Makes A Powerful Case For The Autonomy Of Communities--especially But Not Exclusively Religious--into Which Democratic Citizens Organize Themselves Being of the kind which A Condition For Dissent, Dialogue, And Independdnce. With Reference To A Number Of Cases, Carter Shows How Undutifulness Is Sometimes Requisite To The Heartbeat Of Our Democracy--and In what manner The Distinction Between Challenging Accepted Norms And Challenging The Sovereign Itself, A Distinction Crucial To The Declaration Of Independence, Must Be Kept Alive Suppose that Americans Are To Progress And Prosper As A State.
