Offizielle Kursbeschreibung:
Thinking the organic, in particular the human body, in terms of
genetic composition or genetic disposition has altered basic
categories such as those of health, identity or life in general in
many parts of the world. The most recent release of “crispr/cas”
promises to intensify this specific view on the body even further –
as indicated by the rhetoric surrounding it. Techniques/
technologies like this pose ethical, politico-economic as well as
ontological questions concerning the possibility to “engineer”
organisms. The course aims to explore some of the different
anthropological approaches towards what is referred to as the “new
genetics”. In fact, anthropologists have paid considerable attention
to this inter-disciplinary field; hence there exists a broad body of
literature. We will start the course by reflecting on our own
speaking position in relation to the respective field of knowledge –
a critical evaluation of issues of authority and the abilities to
produce authoritative knowledge in the context of critique. The
subsequent sessions will be an attempt to probe the manifold
theoretical entrance points anthropologists have constructed.
Among others, we will take a look at concepts such as that of
cyborgs (Haraway) and hybrids (Latour), biosocial becomings
(Ingold, Palsson) and biopower/ -politics (Foucault, Agamben,
Rose, Rabinow).
