Michelle Murphy

    Michelle Murphy je autorkou, která zkoumá vztah mezi medicínským poznáním a společenskou nejistotou. Její práce se ponořuje do složitých otázek, jak lidé chápou a prožívají nemoci, zejména v kontextu nejasných diagnóz a environmentálních problémů. Murphyina analýza se zaměřuje na to, jak vědecké a lékařské diskurzy formují naše představy o zdraví a nemoci a jak ovlivňují naše každodenní životy.

      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.
