Notă biografică

As social anthropologists, Eric Hirsch and Marilyn Strathern share a common interest in technological and social change as well as in Melanesian societies, where both have carried out first-hand fieldwork. Earlier collaboration on kinship and the new reproductive technologies in the UK, a pioneering investigation, was one impetus for this equally unique venture.
