    Life, Science, and Biopower.Richard Tutton & Sujatha Raman - 2010 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 35 (5):711-734.
    This article critically engages with the influential theory of ‘‘molecularized biopower’’ and ‘‘politics of life’’ developed by Paul Rabinow and Nikolas Rose. Molecularization is assumed to signal the end of population-centred biopolitics and the disciplining of subjects as described by Foucault, and the rise of new forms of biosociality and biological citizenship. Drawing on empirical work in Science and Technology Studies, we argue that this account is limited by a focus on novelty and assumptions about the transformative power of the (...)

    Constructing Participation in Genetic Databases: Citizenship, Governance, and Ambivalence.Richard Tutton - 2007 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 32 (2):172-195.
    This paper discusses the discourse of ‘participation’ in the context of genetic databases. Focusing on UK Biobank, it suggests that this discourse can be seen as a reflexive institutional response to public ambivalence towards science and expertise. Drawing on empirical evidence from focus groups, I explore how people from various backgrounds constructed and contested two different kinds of participation in UK Biobank. The first relates to people providing research materials to genetic databases and the second to people becoming ‘co-decision makers’ (...)

    Multiplanetary Imaginaries and Utopia: The Case of Mars One.Richard Tutton - 2018 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 43 (3):518-539.
    The prospect of human societies being made anew on other planets is a powerful recurring theme in popular culture and speculative technoscience. I explore what Science and Technology Studies offers to analyzing how the future is made and contested in present-day endeavors to establish humans as multiplanetary subjects. I focus on the case of Mars One—an initiative that aims to establish a human settlement on Mars in the 2020s—and discuss interviews undertaken with some of the individuals who have volunteered to (...)

  4. What's in a name? Subjects, volunteers, participants and activists in clinical research.Oonagh Corrigan & Richard Tutton - 2006 - Clinical Ethics 1 (2):101-104.
    The term research subject has traditionally been the preferred term in professional guidelines and academic literature to describe a patient or an individual taking part in biomedical research. In recent years, however, there has been a steady shift away from the use of the term 'research subject' in favour of 'research participant' when referring to individuals who take part by providing data to various kinds of biomedical and epidemiological research. This article critically examines this shift, reflecting on the different meanings (...)

    Genotyping the Future: Scientists' Expectations about Race/Ethnicity after BiDil.Richard Tutton, Andrew Smart, Paul A. Martin, Richard Ashcroft & George T. H. Ellison - 2008 - Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 36 (3):464-470.
    In a recent discussion about how scientific knowledge might potentially change our understanding of the nature and extent of human genetic, cultural, or biological variation, the sociologist David Skinner identified two competing visions of the future: one that was decidedly dystopian, which conjured up a “re-racialized” future, and an opposing utopian future in which the potential for racialized thinking might be finally overcome. We can situate the ongoing debates about the congestive heart failure drug BiDil, approved by the Food and (...)
