This seminar looks at the discourse surrounding modern biology and how  
it shapes relevant public policy options and actual decision-making.  
The contending ideological paradigms present in current policy  
controversies regarding genetic engineering are identified and their  
implications for political economy are explored. In particular, such  
paradigms as biological reductionism; diversity (of species and human  
social groupings), conceptions of ?nature? and ?indigenous people,?  
notions of ownership, patentability and commodification of biological  
materials, control and manipulation, etc. will be analyzed in terms of  
their discourse imageries and their role in motivating the main  
scientific governmental, entrepreneurial, consumer, environmental and  
religious/ethical policy actions.
