Spaces and networks of genetic knowledge making: the 'geneticisation' of heart disease.

Health & place - 1 Dec 2004

Hall Edward

Abstract excerpt

The 'geneticisation' of health, medicine and the body is extending from single-gene to multi-factorial conditions such as heart disease. Adopting 'Actor Network Theory', the paper argues that the making of genetic knowledge occurs in spaces and networks where contested knowledges necessarily produce a geneticisation that is neither certain nor complete. Drawing on empirical research in a coronary care unit in...
