This volume offers interdisciplinary perspectives on contemporary
biomedicine as a cultural practice. The collection of essays brings
together leading scholars from cultural anthropology, sociology,
history, and science studies to conduct a critical dialogue on the
culture(s) of biomedical practice, discussing its epistemic, material,
and social implications. The essays look at the ways new biomedical
knowledge is constructed within hospitals and academic settings and at
how this knowledge changes perceptions, material arrangements, and
social relations, not only within clinics and scientific communities,
but especially once it is diffused into a broader cultural context.
