Daniel Lee Kleinman
Impure Cultures: University Biology and the World of Commerce

Publisher: —
Description: `One of the most significant research programs in science studies today is that of Daniel Lee Kleinman. Not only does he utilize the ethnographic methods of the laboratory studies to integrate micro- and macrosociological perspectives, but he also analyzes the political economy of laboratory life to point to important policy problems that the privatizing patterns of contemporary biology raise for the public good.`-David Hess, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute `Kleinman`s confident mustering of evidence and argument results in an original, soundly based piece of scholarship that is both topical, socially important, and effective. The writing is clear throughout, covering technical material (both biological and sociological) competently. . . . For those interested in lab studies, this will be a `must read.``-Brian Martin, University of Wollongong [detailed...]

In &, Out of Amsterdam

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: During the 1960s and 70s, Amsterdam was a nexus of intense art activities, drawing artists from all over the world, including Stanley Brouwn, Gilbert &, George, Sol LeWitt, Charlotte Posenenske, Allen Ruppersberg and Lawrence Weiner. Reciprocally, some of the most influential Dutch artists traveled abroad extensively before establishing themselves in Amsterdam: Jan Dibbets studied in London, while Ger van Elk and Bas Jan Ader trained in Los Angeles. As a result of this new mobility, a dynamic cross-pollination of ideas and influences took place between artists of different nationalities, and many produced works directly related to the notion of travel and the city that fostered them. In &, Out of Amsterdam presents more than 120 works--including works on paper, installations, photographs and films--by artists who were part of this remarkable creative culture. Essays, accompanied by lively illustrations and documentary photographs, illuminate the significance of these works as well as… [detailed...]
