Abstract:
The term “biocapitalism” commonly means “commodification of life”. As a critical tool, it is an important part of the rhetorical apparatus that denounces the “neoliberal (bio)economy” and relations of its elements: human bodies, cells and tissues, biotech companies and stock markets. However, sociologists K. Birch and D. Tyfield in a series of studies attempted to discover the mass practices denoted by this term – “biocapital” practices dealing with materiality of living objects, as well as the observed bio-economic processes. As a result, they failed to form a consistent idea of biocapitalism and related bio-concepts (bioeconomics and biovalue). This article makes an attempt to reveal this inconsistency through the conceptualization of contradictions of biocapitalism. These contradictions seem to have emerged most acutely in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, they are described as three types of desynchronization: between the public and the private, between capi-talism and the “free market”, and between “internal” and “external” biological threats. Desynchronization in the general sense is understood as a produced lack of simultaneity, a fabricated anachronism. For example, “private” life of people looks like anachronism in the background of the “public” dimension of the pandemic, etc. At the same time, within the framework of desynchronization, it is impossible to detect directly either “commodification of life” or what could be called the expectations of a capitalist society from the biotechnology. In this regard, we can say that biocapitalism is realized through the exclusion of both life itself (vitality) and a good human life. I am trying to demonstrate this by pointing out two cases that can be designated as the falling out of “bio-...” from “biocapitalism”.

Abstract:
The opening of a post-genomic age and the possibility of patenting life itself have changed the relationship between biopolitics and capitalism and contributed to the emergence of a new phase of capitalist accumulation, currently known as biocapitalism, the full integration of life and capital into complex architectures of control and ownership. In this paper, we combine Giorgio Agamben’s concepts of the threshold and bios/ zoē with Nicole Shukin’s idea of rendering to address the connection between life and death in biocapitalism, through a specific focus on the commercialisation of the semen of the Piedmontese bulls. We show how death, rather than merely life, is productive in biocapitalism. Further, in proposing an analysis of some of the ways in which, social and biological, animal life gets incorporated (i.e. owned and sold), we contribute to recent debates in geography on more-than-human understanding of capital accumulation.

Abstract:
For a significant number of researchers, the theoretical and methodological prerequisite for the analysis of biocapitalism is the "local knowledge" model. It is characterized by the fact that the research position is ethically loaded: the only possible way to talk about various forms of capital is associated with the need to give the floor to representatives of social groups subjected to discrimination and exploitation. This requirement leads to the elimination of biocapital as a research problem, its transformation into a non-object. Such disregard for biocapital leads to the impossibility of an adequate assessment of the risks associated with the development of biotechnologies. An important step towards the creation of a theory of biocapitalism is the appeal to the concept of "theoretical anti-humanism" proposed by Louis Althusser. Based on this methodological principle, biocapitalism should be considered as a set of non-objective processes based on the movement of value, whose continuity is rooted in the special modes of functioning of biotechnologies. One aspect of biotechnologies is their ability to create, modify, and control "local times" i.e., the flow rates of various processes. These opportunities become a source of profit for bio-capital. Explication of the conditions of such capital work shows that any biotechnological innovation becomes what is called in the language of actor-network theory a "point of mandatory passage" – a point of connection of the interests of a set of heterogeneous actors. Each of the actors connects their own social expectations with the existence of the technology. Thus, the desire to use oocytes frozen in the biobank suggests the need to maintain the existing technoinfrastructure. Thus, the desynchronization that occurs when using biotechnologies is a way to preserve the available method of capital production, which leads to the idea that there is no alternative to biocapitalism.

O avanço científico e tecnológico dos últimos dois séculos fez aflorar na sociedadecontemporânea o interesse pelas consequências do progresso técnico para o futuro dahumanidade. Nas últimas décadas tem-se intensificado a discussão em relação aosavanços das tecnociências (biotecnologia, nanotecnologia, neurociência etc.), naconformação do homem e da sociedade do futuro. Por um lado, tais técnicas geram eprometem gerar ainda mais inovação no sistema agroalimentar, na medicina, no meioambiente e no próprio homem; por outro, não apresentam segurança sobre as suasimplicações em longo prazo, principalmente no que concerne aos seus efeitosintergeracionais e sobre a biodiversidade. Diante da complexidade do tema, o estudo sobreos efeitos da rápida evolução das tecnociências para a humanidade não comporta mais oolhar fragmentário do paradigma cartesiano. Nesta perspectiva, este trabalho propõe umaabordagem diferenciada sobre a temática da manipulação genética, baseada no paradigmada complexidade, de forma a compreender as interações sistêmicas entre diferentesdimensões de análise social, entre a representação social, a ideologia científica, asociedade de risco, o biocapitalismo e as dinâmicas políticas. O trabalho tem como objetivoanalisar as interações complexas entre essas dimensões, no intuito de demonstrar comoelas se relacionam entre si, conformando-se num sistema complexo. Buscou-se traçar umaanálise transversal entre estas dimensões a fim de obter uma visão sistêmica em torno dasdiferentes percepções e efeitos das técnicas de manipulação genética, desenvolvendo umpensamento capaz de enfrentar a complexidade da questão da biotecnologia na sociedadecontemporânea e sugerindo a constituição de uma nova etapa do desenvolvimentocapitalista, onde a vida transforma-se em mercadoria. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The scientific and technological advances of recent centuries has fostered interest incontemporary society about the consequences of technical progress for the future ofhumanity. In the last decades the debate regarding the advances of technoscience(biotechnology, nanotechnology, neuroscience etc.) in the conformation of man and societyof the future has been intensified. On the one hand, these techniques promise, among othersthings, generate huge innovation in agrofood system, in medicine, in the environment and inman himself, on the other hand, have no security on its long-term implications, especiallyregarding the effects of intergenerational use and the effects over biodiversity. Given thecomplexity of the subject, the study of the effects of technosciences for humanity does notsupport anymore the fragmented look of the Cartesian paradigm. Taking this perspective,this paper proposes a different approach on the issue of genetic manipulation, based on theparadigm of complexity in order to understand the systemic interactions between differentdimensions of social analysis: the social representation, the scientific ideology, the risksociety, the economic power and the political dynamics. The work aims to analyze thecomplex interactions between these dimensions in order to demonstrate how they relate toeach other, conforming to a complex system. We tried to draw a cross-sectional analysis ofthese dimensions in order to get a systemic view about the different perceptions and effectsof genetic manipulation techniques, developing an argument able to face the complexity ofthe issue of biotechnology in contemporary society.

Abstract:
Direct-to-consumer genomics (DTCG) health testing offers great promise to humanity, however to date adoption has lagged as a result of consumer awareness, understanding, and previous government regulations restricting DTCG companies from providing information on an individual's genetic predispositions. But in 2017 the broader DTCG market which also includes genealogical testing demonstrated exponential growth, implying that DTCG is starting to diffuse as an innovation. To better understand the sociocultural forces affecting diffusion, adoption, and satisfaction, qualitative ethnographic research was conducted with DTCG genealogy and health consumers. The data was qualitatively analyzed using thematic analysis to understand the similarities and differences in beliefs, attitudes, intentions, and mediating factors that have influenced consumers. Design anthropology theory and methods were used to produce ethnographically informed insights. The insights were then translated into actionable product management and business strategy recommendations.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Xiaolu Guo as a paradigmatic writer of geopolitics, biopolitics, and capitalism in contemporary Chinese Anglophone fiction. The chapter first focuses onA Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Loversto rethink models of Anglophone writing. Against utopian conceptions of English as a privileged language of heterogeneity or hybridity,Dictionaryis analyzed in terms of biocapital and geopolitics, as a narrative of the Chinese migrant’s absorption into the Anglophone publishing industry and the Anglophone empire. The chapter then analyzesUFO in Her Eyesas representative of a recent turn in Chinese fiction toward issues of biocapital, the increasing entanglement of the communist state’s regulation of bodies with its capitalist goals. Unique among biocapitalist fiction, however,UFOfurther situates contemporary China in a global post-9/11 context of state surveillance and defense security. Guo’s novels, then, offer a distinctly instructive framework for comparative reflections on biopolitics, biocapital, and the global security state.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on Deleuze and Guattari's ‘becoming-animal’. Deleuze and Guattari's animal is one of the specific concepts that attracted Baudrillard's critical attention. His ‘The Animals: Territory and Metamorphoses’ developed a sustained critique of their position. Here, the chapter takes Deleuze and Guattari's thesis that there are three animals — Oedipal, State, and demonic; and far from being a general taxonomy, they are ontological categories defined by the intertwinement of desire, technoscientific experimentation, and investments of capital. This chapter thus establishes the organising theme — contagion. In so doing, it seeks to show how Deleuze and Guattari, as well as Baudrillard and SF acquire a new relevance in biocapitalism.
