Revaluing donor and recipient bodies in the globalised blood economy
The clinical use of blood has a long history, but its apparent stability belies the complexity of contemporary practices in this field. In this article, we explore how the production, supply and deployment of blood products are socially mediated, drawing on theoretical perspectives from recent work on 'tissue economies'. We highlight the ways in which safety threats in the form of infections that might be transmitted through blood and plasma impa…
Trust, nostalgia and narrative accounts of blood banking in England in the 21st century
Historically, cultural accounts and descriptions of blood banking in Britain have been associated with notions of altruism, national solidarity and imagined community. While these ideals have continued to be influential, the business of procuring and supplying blood has become increasingly complex. Drawing on interview data with donors in one blood centre in England, this article reports that these donors tend not to acknowledge the complex dynam…

(eds) Biobanks: governance in a comparative perspective 2008 Abingdon : Routledge , £20.99 , xi+234 pp , IBSN 10-415-42737-1 (pbk) Medical research engages with the production of visions of possible (better) futures, and with the enrolment of subjects to assist with pursuing these aspirations. In recent years, large collections of genetic and linked data have been a prominent vehicle through which such research has …

Biobanks, bioethics and concepts of donated blood in the UK
In recent years international bioethics bodies have made prominent declarations about the uses of donated tissue and related information in genetic research1. Following the 'legislative' mode of bioethics2, these organisations have put forward a number of general principles with a view to promoting the fair and equitable use of donated tissue in such research. However, government policies in this field are shaped differently in different national…

Writing about Health and Sickness
In this paper, I explore some of the writing about health and sickness undertaken by volunteers writing for a British social history archive. The Mass-Observation Archive's commissioning of diaries and other forms of self- reportage has made it a prominent part of the landscape of sociology in Britain (Calder, 1985). Initiated during the 1930s, the Mass-Observation Archive's early work included the well-known worktown project. The early project w…
