Titel: Politics without People?
Beschreibung: When looking at the field of ELSA research one can find two research perspectives. One approach is rather policy oriented and the other focuses of the personal perspectives of the individuals concerned. In the most general sense these two approaches can be related to the following research questions: 1) What kind of policy is (or should) being made? And 2) What are the effects of the new genetics on the subject? In this paper I will ask if and to what extent such macro and micro perspectives are related to each other. I will argue that beyond a mere difference in research preferences the two perspectives lead to an empirical problem. In short: the results of macro sociological analyses are hard to trace in empirical case studies which focus on individual perspectives. Juxtaposing research based on governmentality studies and empirical case studies I will contrast two divergent claims of how subjectivity is produced in the context of genetic testing. Moreover I will point out differences in the rationalities which can be found according to the respective research approaches. Along these lines this paper aims to make sense of the divergence of the discussed research perspectives and to strive for ways by which situated perspectives can be linked back to policy perspectives.
