Description

Devised in the 1940s by the biologist C. H. Waddington, the epigenetic landscape is a metaphor for how gene regulation modulates cellular development. As a scientific model, it fell out of use in the late 1960s but returned at the beginning of the twenty-first century with the advent of big-data genomic research because of its utility among scientists across the life sciences to think more creatively about and to discuss genetics. In Epigenetic Landscapes Susan Merrill Squier follows the model’s cultural trail, from its first visualization by the artist John Piper to its use beyond science. Squier examines three cases in which the metaphor has been imaginatively deployed to illustrate complex systems that link scientific and cultural practices: graphic medicine, landscape architecture, and bioArt. Challenging reductive understandings of epigenetics, Squier boldly reclaims the broader significance of the epigenetic landscape as a figure at the nexus of art, design, and science. Review "A largely insightful, informative and enjoyable read . . . an academic text as well as an insightful view into the remarkable melding of science and art." Author: Rebecca Rahimi Source: Science, Medicine, and Anthropology "Squier deserves many thanks for opening up new vistas in the history of science." Author: Erik L. Peterson Source: Isis Review “In this stunning volume one of our most erudite and eloquent guides to the rapidly changing landscapes of the contemporary biological provides us with a timely and critical genealogy of epigenetics—one of the most important but elusive concepts in contemporary society. Everyone with an interest in the past and the future of biological concepts should read this book!” Author: Sarah Franklin, author of Source: Biological Relatives: IVF, Stem Cells, and the Future of Kinship From the Author Susan Merrill Squier is Brill Professor Emerita of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and English at Pennsylvania State University.
