Refiguring Life
Explores the interplay of machines and metaphor in modern scientific enquiry. The book looks at the discourse of the contemporary life sciences, the `metaphors' which allow scientific work to proceed. |Keller, a distinguished feminine historian, argues that these metaphors, as powerful as the physical technology of modern science, define the paths along which research can, and does, move.
