Description: "Current research in genetics seems to be mapping and determining the past, present and future of the human body. This is a moment when questions of control and representation of the body have become vital for policy-makers, artists, theorists and cultural critics. Indeterminate Bodies makes a timely intervention into these debates by addressing questions of the body's determination and indeterminacy across a broad range of historical and contemporary fields."--BOOK JACKET.
