Experiments of the Mind
Experimental cognitive psychology research is a hidden force in our online lives. We engage with it, often unknowingly, whenever we download a health app, complete a Facebook quiz, or rate our latest purchase. How did experimental psychology come to play an outsized role in these developments? This book considers this question through a look at cognitive psychology laboratories. The book traces how psychological research methods evolved, escaped …

Tribute to Leith Mullings
Reflecting on the early days of her career, and her experiences of being mentored by Leith Mullings, Emily Martin shares the ways in which Leith Mullings pioneered intersectionality as a mode of analysis, and advocacy. Martin works through many of Mullings's major scholarly contribution to anthropology and feminist thought, and calls upon her readers to continue Mullings's legacy into the future

Blood and the brain
In everyday Euro-American understandings, blood is both vital and dangerous to the brain. Why, then, are there virtually no illustrations of the brain in contemporary neuroscience that include the blood vessels needed to supply the brain with its vital energy? Photographs, drawings, scans, images, and other kinds of visual material illustrate the location, function, and shape of nervous tissue in the brain in endless variety and detail. But to se…
The Potentiality of Ethnography and the Limits of Affect Theory
Historical scholarship on the banishment of subjectivity from experimental psychology led me to explore a current theoretical enterprise in literary and cultural studies that goes by the name "affect theory." This approach, tied to contemporary neuroscience research, at once joins the effort to banish subjectivity from human experience and introduces the apparently compelling merits of a certain kind of potentiality. The potentiality revealed by …

Bipolar Expeditions
Manic behavior holds an undeniable fascination in American culture today. It fuels the plots of best-selling novels and the imagery of MTV videos, is acknowledged as the driving force for successful entrepreneurs like Ted Turner, and is celebrated as the source of the creativity of artists like Vincent Van Gogh and movie stars like Robin Williams. Bipolar Expeditions seeks to understand mania's appeal and how it weighs on the lives of Americans d…

Mind-Body Problems
In this article, I lay out some of the cultural assumptions in recent accounts of mind and brain in neuroscience, in which it is argued that human social activities can be reduced to neural processes in the brain. Since the current dominance of these accounts in the United States threatens the work of social and cultural anthropology and other non-reductionist disciplines, I develop some ways the arguments of their critics can be bolstered with i…
Anthropology and the Cultural Study of Science
This essay explores how the distinctively anthropological concept of culture provides uniquely valuable insights into the workings of science in its cultural context. Recent efforts by anthropologists to dislodge the traditional notion of culture as a homogenous, stable whole have opened up a variety of ways of imagining culture that place power differentials, flux, and contradiction at its center. Including attention to a wide variety of social …

The Egg and the Sperm
As an anthropologist, I am intrigued by the possibility that culture shapes how biological scientists describe what they discover about the natural world. If this were so, we would be learning about more than the natural world in high school biology class; we would be learning about cultural beliefs and practices as if they were part of nature. In the course of my research I realized that the picture of egg and sperm drawn in popular as well as s…

Meeting Polemics with Irenics in the Science Wars
According to Webster's, a polemic is aggressive attack on, or the refutation of, others' opinions, doctrines or the like. In today's academy, professors and students often have cause to be polemic, but seldom have cause to remember that polemic has an opposite.1 Webster's defines that opposite, irenic, as fitted or designed to promote peace; pacific, conciliatory, peaceful. Recent skirmishes in the Science Wars have seemed to me so polemically bi…

Thomas Hardy & The Rural Tradition
If it is true that we may be on the edge of a renaissance of heroic humanism, then it should also be the proper time to observe that, in a cultural sense, the word tradition has always carried within itself the weight of two inseparable meanings. The first has a bearing upon all that has been attempted in the unifying of mankind, the breaking down of barriers and the bridging of gulfs; it is international and universal in application; the second …

Chinese Ritual and Politics
As a result of the strength and dominance of the centralized state, ritual action in China often takes its logic from political action. In this book Emily Ahern explores the implications of this. She argues that forms of control attempted ritually on non-human persons (gods and other spirits) in China parallel those forms of control which people regard as effective in ordinary life, namely political control, and draws important conclusions from t…

Reproductive Technology
In In Search of Parenthood, Lasker and Borg seek to give those considering using new reproductive technologies clearer picture of what they are likely to face. They do this more effectively than most books for the infertile because they do consider some of the risks and negative experiences involved. They raise the issue of why people go through these physically and emotionally painful experiences to have children, pointing out the strong sociali…

Kroppens berättelser, kroppens gränser
In this article Emily Martin analyses resistance and its relations to power and hegemony. She discusses the ideological effects of biological imagery. When human reproduction is described in biology texts, scientific as well as popular, the egg and the sperm are depicted differently. The egg is seen as "feminine", passive, special, holy, set apart and above, in need of rescue by the sperm. In contrast sperms are described as "masculine", active; …
