Synopsis
Law interacts with society and the material world in various ways, with science and technology increasingly at the heart of these interactions. Contemporary scholarship reveals how interactions of law and science co-produce the worlds we live in, and the hidden ways in which law operates. Material Worlds: Intersections of Law, Science, Technology, and Society highlights the growing body of research showing current directions of the engagement between Socio-legal Studies (SLS) and Science and Technology Studies (STS). The book s empirical studies help us understand how law and technology shape crucial contemporary experiences climate change, crime detection, biomedical technology, genetics, and more. The intersection between law and materiality is a particularly fruitful meeting-point, and this study of the existing and future research across these disciplines will lead to a better understanding of both., A study of the existing and future research on the intersections between law and materiality, leading to the illumination of both. A theoretically innovative book exploring the intersections between law and materiality Offers new perspectives on a variety of high profile controversial subjects, including climate change, public health, genetics, crime, biomedical technology Investigates the futures of both the sociology of law and the study of science and technology from a novel, interdisciplinary vantage point Illustrates a wide range of empirical topics to provide a focus for critical reflection on the nature of cross-disciplinary research Illuminates relationships between transnational regulation and local practices and the relation between social agency and material worlds, A study of the existing and future research on the intersections between law and materiality, leading to the illumination of both.
