摘要：

This essay discusses three interpretiveconcepts that link bioscience and biotechnologyto society: the medical imaginary, thebiotechnical embrace, and the clinicalnarrative. Drawing on research carried out inthe United States and internationally on theculture and political economy of biomedicine,the essay examines these interpretive conceptsthrough examples from studies of patients,clinicians, scientists, and venture capitalistsengaged in the worlds of oncology and hightechnology medicine. These interpretiveconcepts contribute to an understanding of howthe affective dimensions of the experience of patients, clinicians and scientists invested inhigh technology medicine are fundamental tobioscience and biomedicine, and to thepolitical economy and culture of hope.
