Recenzii

"One of the strengths of this collection is the variety of approaches to analyzing the intersections between utopian aspirations and concepts of the body. The topics discussed can as specific as physical fitness programs during wartime, pre-implantation genetic diagnoses in fertility treatments, and in vitro meat projects and as general as the technophobia is some science fiction, the need for dialogues between humanists and scientists, and for the development of convincing ethical standards for biotechnology." - Kenneth Roemer, Professor of English, Piper Professor, University of Texas at Arlington, USA, the author and editor of Utopian Audiences (2009), America as Utopia (1980), and The Obsolete Necessity (1976)
"Engaging, original and trans-disciplinary at its core, Stapleton and Byers have curated a volume of critical interpretations of utopian biopolitical projects. Contributors analyze far-ranging State techniques that imagine, produce and reproduce perfect citizens. The collection is vitally necessary to grasp modern world-making, near futures and their effects." - Lisa Jean Moore, Professor of Sociology, SUNY Purchase College, USA, the co-author of Missing Bodies (2009)
