{"product_id":"9783837617474","title":"Between Self-Determination and Social Technology: Medicine, Biopolitics and the New Techniques of Procedural Management","description":"The book critically examines how concepts such as self-determination, participation, ethics, or dialogue, developed not least by the feminist movement and directed against repression, heteronomy and professional paternalism, have been integrated into new contexts and transformed into new social technologies. Crossing a variety of fields from birthing, genetic counselling, living wills, hospital ethics, to population policies and politics of biomedicine, it shows that medicine and medicine-related policies and practices form crucial arenas of these transformations. What we see emerging is procedural management as a new set of social techniques.\u003cbr\u003eWith a preface by William Ray Arney.","brand":"Transcript Verlag, Roswitha Gost, Sigrid Nokel u.
