Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Summary:"VIRULENT ZONES is an ethnography of the search for the origins of influenza pandemics in rural China. In the early 1980s, Hong-Kong based virologists pinpointed southern China as an origin for influenza pandemics due to the region's entanglements of farming practices, animal husbandry, and wet-rice paddy landscapes. One example is Poyang Lake, which is not only China's largest freshwater lake, but a wintering site for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds and the home of large-scale duck farming. According to popular imaginings of pandemic epicenters, scientists go to a remote place and find a discrete origin for a virus, which can then be transported back into a laboratory for further research. But for anthropologist Lyle Fearnley, Poyang Lake exemplifies the importance of what scientists call the non-virological, or other factors outside of the virus that are crucial to understanding the virus' spread, such as migration of wildlife species, rapid population growth, and an increase in livestock production. When taken into consideration, non-virological factors also affect the trajectory of research itself; rather than the epicenter functioning as a place from which a virus is extracted and taken to a laboratory, the epicenter, in this case Poyang Lake, becomes the site from which research is conducted. For Fearnley, this shift is crucial, as Poyang Lake serves as an example of a new form of scientific displacement, which is usually understood as the process through which research done in a laboratory is "displaced" into the real word-and vice versa-through carefully controlled experiments. But at Poyang Lake, where scientists and farmers share one habitat, Fearnley argues that elements of research are continually reproduced and changed, displacing scientific inquiry into new directions. And whereas in the traditional laboratory setting, scientific displacement from the field to the lab renders a power dynamic in which the researcher is more knowledgeable than the layperson, the research site of Poyang Lake-and its continuous displacement through encounters with farmers and farming practices-serves to disrupt the hierarchical relationship between layperson and scientist. What emerges at Poyang Lake, then, is not only a revaluation of the power dynamic at the heart of scientific study, but a new account of scientific research and agency"-- Provided by publisher.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Science, Reason, Modernity: Readings for an Anthropology of the Contemporary provides an introduction to a legacy of philosophical and social scientific thinking about sciences and their integral role in shaping modernities, a legacy that has contributed to a specifically anthropological form of inquiry. Anthropology, in this case, refers not only to the institutional boundaries of an academic discipline but also to a mode of conceptualizing and addressing a problem: how to analyze and diagnose the modern sciences in their troubled relationships with lived realities. Such an approach addresses the sciences as forms of life and illuminates how the diverse modes of reason, action, and passion that characterize the scientific life continue to shape our existences as late moderns. The essays provided in this book-many of them classics across disciplines-have been arranged genealogically. They offer a particular route through a way of thinking that has come to be crucial in elucidating the contemporary question of science as a formal way of understanding life. The book specifies the historical dynamics by way of which problems of science and modernity become matters of serious reflection, as well as the multiple attempts to provide solutions to those problems. The book's aim is pedagogical. Its hope is that the constellation of texts it brings together will help students and scholars working on sciences become better equipped to think about scientific practices as anthropological problems. Includes essays by: Hans Blumenberg, Georges Canguilhem, John Dewey, Michel Foucault, Immanuel Kant, Paul Rabinow, Max Weber.…
