An analysis of biopolitics after the molecular revolution

Meer over het boek

The book explores the intersection of public medicine and biological theory in the 21st century, emphasizing the impact of the molecular revolution on medical practices. It highlights the distinction between molecular medicine's genotypic approach and conventional medicine's phenotypic perspective. The concepts of "molecularization" and "geo-netization" create a divide in medical techniques and ethics, leading to the establishment of ethics committees in public health. This framework aims to understand the politicization of health through the lens of genetic biopolitics.
