Dr. Bettina Bock v. Wülfingen Academic assistant (assistant professor) at the Institute for Cultural Studies of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin; second book project “Economies and the Cell – Conception and Heredity Around 1900 and 2000“; founder member and co-manager of the EU-COST Action “Bio-objects and Their Boundaries” (running from 2010 to 2014) and of the research network “Economies of Reproduction” (www.economies-of-reproduction.org; funded by the German Research Foundation from 2010 to 2012). CV: At the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin since 1/2007, first as postdoc at the Post Graduate Research Group „Gender as a Category of Knowledge“ and since 10/2008 as academic assistant (assist. prof.) at the Institute for Cultural Studies of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin; teaching in Cultural Studies and Gender Studies; 2004-2007 visiting research fellow at the Department for the History of Public Health, University of California in San Francisco/USA; at the Department for the History of Public Health, University of California in San Francisco/USA; at the Science and Technology Studies Unit (SATSU), University of York/Great Britain (as EU Marie Curie Fellow); at the Institute for Advanced Studies of Science and Technology Studies, Graz/Austria; at the BIOS, London School of Economics/Great Britain; Dissertation in Public Health, University of Bremen/Germany 2006 (summa cum laude); studies in biology (diploma, grade ‘excellent’), philosophy, history and political sciences in Regensburg/Germany, Córdoba/Argentine and Bremen/Germany. Research interests: Cultural history of knowledge in the life sciences; history, philosophy and sociology of science; history of (biological) sex, gender and sexuality; history of reproduction and heredity (i.a. gamets, virus, hormones, conception); changes of the notion of health and illness; methods in science and the humanities. Second book project: “Economies and the cell – conception and heredity around 1900 und 2000“ This project follows the idea that the relationship between conception, growth and development on one hand and heredity on the other is conceived corresponding to the historically contingent concepts of economy of the respective times. Accordingly, the idea of the (gendered) division of labor in a productive and a reproductive force as discussed since the 1850s latest, enters the cell around 1900: many models of heredity started to attribute a productive part to the nucleus and a reproductive part to the cell plasma (which goes hand in hand with the contemporaneous talk about a supposed split between early genetics and other scientific fields that work on reproduction). In contrast, the end of the 20th century proclaims the end of the separation of economic labor division into production and reproduction. Contemporary analyses indicate a falling together of production and reproduction. This can be aligned with the modeling in fields such as stem cell research, synthetic biology and especially reproductive genetics, which supposedly appear to bring together genetics/genomics and the reproductive sciences.
