Editing future life and biotechnological utopias in the Nordic countries
- 2020
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper is based on a three-year project recently started in Sweden. In this project we will investigate how “Responsible research and innovation” (RRI) is (re)produced at the intersection between the laboratory and the surrounding society, and between the researchers' everyday work practices and society's discourses on modern biomedicine. The two technologies studied in the project are CRISPR technology and neuro-transplantation with stem cells. A question central to the project, is to study the biomedical researchers' everyday life and how they "respond" to the uncertain and unpredictable consequences that exist in the research on the biomodifying technologies. What ethical issues are raised in relation to different bio-modifying technologies? This is a question that relate to the panel theme and we will therefore focus our paper on the discourses in the Nordic countries – manly Sweden and Denmark - and what modes of de/politization we can find concerning editing genome technologies. We will do this by focusing on laboratories that recently have started to work with, or are in the start-up phase for using CRISPR technology. Drawing on the issues from the panel abstract, we want to raise questions like: What kinds of new social control, hierarchies, exclusion and domination can we see in the laboratories? What kind of care and social inclusion are discussed or practised there?

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The rapid development in biomedicine creates knowledge-intensive policy fields on national and international arenas. In our ongoing project “Biomodifying technologies in change” we study presumably game-changing technologies such as CRISPR-cas9, iPS cells, xenotransplantation and 3D bioprinting. The project could be categorized as part of an ”engaged program”, using Sismondo’s terminology (2008), in that we do not separate the epistemological dimensions from the political aspects of the science practices we study. Rather, we understand language and material processes in research as already in themselves always normative. Hence, the strife to make transparent and democratize scientific and technological processes, is somehow built into the research scope itself - even if not a directly activist agenda.One of the aims of the project is to understand how “responsible researchers” are fostered. We look into how ethical reflexivity is expressed, practiced and understood in the day-to-day of biomedical research environments. But what happens to our knowledge production when we make biomedical researchers engage in this bird’s-eye view on their research and its socio-cultural circumstances? How can neither taking a distanced position, nor engaging in direct activism but rather pushing toward areas we consider possible hotbeds for public debate be further theoretically conceptualized? What does such an endeavor imply for our role as STS scholars? And how does that connect to the tendency to engage humanities and social science scholars as interpreters and mediators in cross-disciplinary projects in knowledge-intensive policy fields, such as ours ? In what way is the symmetry principle (Bloor, 1976) affected, when value-laden initiatives as ethical reflexivity and public engagement is treated as an inherent good or as “truths” to be pursued?

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This essay examines the aesthetics and rhetoric through which popular science delivers the message of brain-mind conflation—‘You are your brain’. Noting the entwinement of realist and imaginary visual tropes in popular scientific presentations of brain imaging, author seeks a correlative ‘counter-text’ to this discourse in one of the classic texts in psychiatric history, the memoirs of the paranoid nineteenth-century judge, Daniel Paul Schreber. In this juxtaposition of contemporary neuroscience and a century-old insider report from madness, the author sees two opposite fantasies about the biologization of the mind. In the end, Schreber’s is deemed the most ‘realist’, since his delusions highlight precisely the blind spots of popular neuroscience today, especially the eclipse of societal, collective meaning in strictly biologistic explanations of the mind.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Just like the first theories in physics viewed atoms as independent and surrounded by a void, our bodies’ microscopic constituents are often portrayed as disconnected from the body as a unified organism, and from its cultural and social contexts. In The Atomized Body the authors examine the relations between culture, society and bioscientific research and show how our bodies’ singularized atoms indeed still are socially and culturally embedded. In today’s medicine, the biosciences are entangled with state power, commercialism, and cultural ideas and expectations, as well as with the hopes and fears of individuals. Therefore, biomedicine and biotechnology also reshape our perceptions of selfhood and life. From a multidisciplinary perspective, with authors from art science to ethnology, this volume discusses the biosciences and the atomized body in their social, cultural and philosophical contexts.
