Contesting Moralities
Questions of public and private morality, values and choices have become important areas of collective discussion. A key feature of this book is that it takes an ethnographic rather than a philosophical or speculative approach to moral debates. This study examines the contemporary explosion of ethical discourse in the public domain and the growing importance of moral rhetoric as an aspect of social relations.
Zum Subjekt der Gene werden
Nicht zuletzt die Debatte um Angelina Jolie im Frühjahr 2013 zeigte: Die medizinische Erforschung genetischer Krankheitsursachen verspricht heute individuelles Risikomanagement. Jede und jeder könne sich durch Gentests über eigene Dispositionen informieren und ein entsprechendes präventives Gesundheitshandeln entwickeln. Andrea zur Nieden problematisiert diese Entwicklung. Ihre Analyse medizinischer Praktiken und Diskurse um Brustkrebsgene wird ergänzt durch Interviews mit betroffenen Frauen, denen sich ein fragwürdiges Handlungsspektrum bis hin zur prophylaktischen Entfernung von Brust und Eierstöcken eröffnet. In der Studie werden Theoreme Adornos und Foucaults mit qualitativen Forschungsansätzen vermittelt, um so gesellschaftliche Phänomene in individuellen Äußerungen aufzuspüren.

Engels Revisited (Routledge Revivals)
This reissued work, first published in 1987, examines the problematic and divisive attitudes which bourgeois and socialist feminists take to the question of the links between patriarchy and capitalism and the importance of class conflict as a major cause of women's subordination. Engels still occcupies a central role in this debate and feminists writing in the hundred years since the publication of The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State frequently turn to this book in an attempt to find validation for their central argument. The contributors to this volume reconsider Engels' theories and review evidence from those societies that have attempted to implement his belief that the key to the emancipation of women lies in their entry to social production.
