Michelle Murphy Libri
Michelle Murphy è un'autrice che approfondisce la complessa interazione tra conoscenza medica e incertezza sociale. Il suo lavoro esplora i modi intricati in cui gli individui comprendono e sperimentano la malattia, in particolare in contesti di diagnosi ambigue e preoccupazioni ambientali. La ricerca di Murphy esamina criticamente come i discorsi scientifici e medici plasmano le nostre percezioni di salute e malattia, influenzando in ultima analisi le nostre realtà vissute.
In Seizing the Means of Reproduction, Michelle Murphy's initial focus on the alternative health practices developed by radical feminists in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s opens into a sophisticated analysis of the transnational entanglements of American empire, population control, neoliberalism, and late-twentieth-century feminisms.
