Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Art And Biotechnology Viral Culture From Crispr To Covid - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: This interdisciplinary anthology examines the relationship between developments in biotechnology and both artistic and literary innovation focussing in particular on how newfound molecular technologies and knowledge regimes such as Crispr gene editing alter conceptions of what it means to be human. The book presents 21 essays split across four parts from a coterie of artists theorists historians and scientists which examine the symbiotic relationship between humans animals and viruses as well as the impossibility of germ - free existence. The essays in this volume are urgent in their topicality embodying the exhilarating yet alarming zeitgeist of contemporary nonhuman - to - human viral transmission and gene editing technologies. Ultimately Art and Biotechnology reveals how art and biotechnology influence each other and how art has shaped the discussion around gene editing and the socio - cultural aspects of the Covid - 19 pandemic. It is essential reading for students and researchers focussing on science and art environmental humanities and ethics.
