Population Genetics and Belonging: A Cultural Analysis of Genetic Ancestry – eBook PDF
Population Genetics and Belonging (PDF) explores how human population genetics has arisen as a means of imagining and enacting belonging in contemporary society. Venla Oikkonen considers population genetics as a developing set of material, a technological, narrative, and affective practices, arguing that these practices are involved in multiple forms of belonging that are often mutually contradictory. Considering popular, scientific, and fictional texts, with numerous carefully selected case studies spanning three decades, the author traces shifts in the affective, material, and gendered preconditions of population genetic visions of belonging. Topics include the debate about Mitochondrial Eve, temporality and nostalgia, ancient human DNA, commercial genetic ancestry tests, and tensions between national and continental genetic inheritance. The ebook Population Genetics and Belonging will be of particular interest to scholars and students of science and technology studies, sociology, cultural studies, and gender studies.
