Novel Natures ‐ New technologies and conflicts in nature conservation
Natural environments are undergoing significant changes due to human influences. At the same time, new technologies are emerging with the promise to provide solutions to environmental crises. This Special Focus on Novel Natures ‐ New technologies and conflicts in nature conservation emphasizes the need for in-depth debates about human relationships with natural environments and technologies. Under the heading of novel natures, we want to open the…
Putting gene drives into context
Engineered gene drives are an emerging technology for the large-scale genetic modification of natural populations of species. They are controversial due to high levels of uncertainty about their risks and benefits. We analyze gene drives in their social, natural, and technological contexts. We discuss their depth of intervention and compare gene drives to “conventional” genetic modification techniques and to other novel high-impact technologies. …
From novel ecosystems to novel natures
Ecologists, particularly restoration ecologists, were early to recognise the challenges of historically unprecedented combinations of species and abiotic conditions brought about by human intervention. However, to date, this ecological understanding has paid limited attention to sociocultural considerations. We propose the concept of novel natures to combine ecological and social dimensions in the perception and evaluation of novelty in nature, a…
Tissue culture and biological time
Taking the early tissue culture experiments of Alexis Carrel in the 1910s–1930s as its example, the article explores the relationship between advances in biotechnological control over living matter and a holistic ontology of life, which stresses the temporal specificity of living things. With reference to Henri Bergson, Carrel argued that physiological time depends on an organism’s relationship to its milieu. By developing a laboratory apparatus …
Politics of Time and Mourning in the Anthropocene
The Anthropocene thesis makes it necessary for the social sciences to engage with temporality in novel ways. The Anthropocene highlights interconnections between 'natural' and 'social' non-linear temporal processes. However, accounts of humanity's Anthropocene history often reproduce linear, progressive narratives of human development. This forecloses the possibilities that thinking with non-linear temporalities would offer to the political scien…
Genome Editing Animals and the Promise of Control in a (Post-) Anthropocentric World
Gene editing tools are 'revolutionizing' microbiological research. Much of the public debate focuses on the possibility of human germ line applications. The use of genome editing to alter non-human animals, however, will have more immediate impacts on our daily lives. Genome edited animals are used for basic biological and biomedical research and could soon play a role in the livestock industry and ecosystem management. Genome editing thus provid…
Thinking about future/democracy
Today, representative politics are often perceived as being primarily concerned with short-term goals. Moreover, the future appears to be pre-determined by economic or technological necessities. This ‘closing’ of the future, however, becomes increasingly problematic in the face of global existential crises, such as environmental depletion and climate change. These catastrophic developments could only be mitigated by immediate, decisive political …
