A detailed history of how sick building syndrome came into being: how indoor exposures to chemicals wafting from synthetic carpet, solvents, and so on became something that office workers felt and protested against
Michelle Murphy Knihy
Michelle Murphy je autorkou, ktorá skúma vzťah medzi medicínskym poznaním a spoločenskou neistotou. Jej práca sa ponára do zložitých otázok, ako ľudia chápu a prežívajú choroby, najmä v kontexte nejasných diagnóz a environmentálnych problémov. Murphyovej analýza sa zameriava na to, ako vedecké a lekárske diskurzy formujú naše predstavy o zdraví a chorobe a ako ovplyvňujú naše každodenné 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.
