Biolegalitya critical introduction /[electronic resource] :by Sonja van Wichelen, Marc de Leeuw. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2024. - xx, 249 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Biolegalities,3005-0235. - Biolegalities..

Introduction: Biolegality as Critical Intervention -- Part I: Law and Life -- From Nature to Biology -- The Biotechnology Revolution -- Part II: Biolegal Rearrangement -- Genes - Exchange and Property -- Brains - Self and Personhood -- Babies - Kinship and Parenthood -- Bodies - Community and Identity -- Coda: The Biolegality of Viruses.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the empirical and theoretical problems posed by the encounter between law and biology in the twenty-first century. How does biotechnology and new bioscientific knowledge affect our legal institutions, our sense of justice, and our ways of relating to one another? To answer these questions, authors Marc de Leeuw and Sonja van Wichelen examine the complex and often contested ways in which biotechnology and biological knowledge are reworked by, with, and against legal knowledge. As this book shows, recent developments in the life sciences-including molecular biology, immunology, and the neurosciences-and their applications in forensics, medicine, and agriculture test longstanding legal forms, such as property, personhood, parenthood, and (collective) identity, ultimately constituting the current field of "biolegality." The authors argue that these biolegal contestations represent philosophical and anthropological challenges to existing understandings of exchange, self, kinship, and community. By addressing how biology and law inform new ways of relating and knowing, the book proposes a programmatic intervention, asserting the pivotal role the study of biolegality plays in advancing social and political theory.
