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.

Abstract:

Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos šiuo metu prasidedančios naujos mokslinės-techninės revoliucijos technologinės prielaidos ir politinės ekonominės pasekmės. Technologines prielaidas sukuria naujas technomokslas – sintetinė biologija, arba radikali genų inžinerija, kuri leidžia pereiti nuo natūralių gyvybės rūšiųgenomo modifikavimo prie dirbtinių rūšių kūrimo. Nors daugiausia masinės informacijos priemonių dėmesio sulaukia sintetinės biologijos perspektyvos medicinoje, didžiausių ekonominių pasekmių jos raida gali turėti energetikoje, tradicinės ir kompiuterių pramonės technologijoje, sukeldama šeštąją Kondratjevo bangą. Jos politinė ekonominė pasekmė – naujo biokapitalistinio gamybos būdo, pakeisiančio dabartinį pofordistinį skaitmeninį kapitalizmą, susiformavimas. Straipsnyje kritikuojamas technologinis determinizmas kaip bendroji socialinės kaitos priežasčių teorija, tačiau pripažįstamas jo adekvatumas technokapitalistinių gamybos būdų atžvilgiu. Kritiškai vertinama Ray’aus Kurzweilio tezė, kad nauja technologinė revoliucija baigsis transhumaniškuoju singuliarumu. Pateikiamas alternatyvus oficialiajam Lietuvos po 2030 metų raidos scenarijus.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: technologinis determinizmas, sintetinė biologija, šeštoji Kondratjevo banga, biokapitalizmas, Lietuva po 2030 metų.On the Coming Synthetic Biology Kondratieff Wave and Biocapitalist LithuaniaZenonas Norkus SummaryThe paper discusses technological conditions and political-economical outcomes of the forthcoming scientific-technological revolution. Its technologicalconditions will be created by the synthetic biology (extreme genetic engineeering) as new technoscience in the making which promises the transition from the tinkering modification of the genome of natural life species to the creation of the artificial life species. Mass media focus on the prospects of synthetic biology in the medical biotechnologies. However, the changes in the energetics, technology of traditional and computer industries brought by the advances in the synthetic biology may have much more important economic outcomes, unleashing the 6th Kondratieff wave. The political economical outcome of the synthetic biology technological revolution will be the formation of the new biocapitalist mode of production which will succeed contemporary digital capitalism. The author rejects technological determinism as general theory of causes of social change. However, technological determinism remains suitable for the explanation of social change in the societies grounded in the technocapitalist modes of production. Prediction by Ray Kurzweil of transhuman singularity imminent after synthetic biological revolution in technology is also rejected. The paper closes with the alternative to the official scenario of development of Lithuania by and after 2030.Key words: technological determinism, synthetic biology, sixth Kondratieff wave, biocapitalism, Lithuania after 2030.

Abstract:

This article considers the relation between contemporary queer and transgender theory and the ‘second wave’ of feminism. Specifically, it explores the ways in which transgender theorist Paul B. Preciado's Testo Junkie: Sex, Drugs, and Biopolitics (2008) calls on feminist theorists, artists and activists of the second wave to explore transgender experience and embodiment, and to rethink gender in light of the new era of biocapitalism Preciado proposes. The article questions the way in which trajectories of feminism are conceived of (most famously through the ‘waves’ metaphor), and finally calls for a ‘scavenger methodology’ as a way to consider the formation of feminist and queer archives.

Abstract:

Investigating maternity tourism to the United States from Russia through the lens of technological mediation, this study foregrounds the geopolitical patterns of human reproduction that shape, and are shaped by, individual choices of maternal healthcare in a neoliberal healthcare market. Following the history of a highly popular Russian-language forum, I demonstrate how this online community gets imbricated into communicative biocapitalism – a neoliberal logic that commodifies the voice of an online user, turning networked publics into markets for medical services. Adding to the literature on data colonialism, I explore a case in which data-driven algorithms effectively alter geographical distribution of reproductive bodies, outsourcing the production of new generations of neoliberal subjects through regimes of technological mediation.

Abstract:

The phenomenon of the disastrous progress is analyzed in the article. This one is conditioned by the development of technoscience having biocapitalism behind it. The essence of the disastrous progress is that so-called digitalization leads to the rise of digital civilization, which is giving opportunities for the total control, new, technological form of slavery and even optimization of the size of "useless" people. As the alternative of the disastrous progress the bioethical discourse in the form of conservative bioethics is proposed. This one is considered as new philosophy. Using deconstructive approach one is demonstrating that conservative bioethics is the study about human as spiritual creature, who is connected with life as net structure just in this dimension. Thus, conservative bioethics is interpreted as radical ethics of the preservation of life, which is able to block the destructive tendency of the modern progress.

Abstract:

Few contemporary artists channel the utopian impulses of the nonhuman turn with more creative energy than Neko Case. In her work, the untraceable movements of poisonous gases, the uncanny desires of tornadoes, and the recalcitrant withdrawal of subatomic particles envision an array of transits, elusions, and exit strategies so often denied to the subjects whose bodies, trajectories, and affective lives are policed by the regulatory cultural and institutional forces endemic to heteronormative biocapitalism, particularly poor and marginalized women. Drawing on recent scholarship in feminist new materialism as well as its critics, this essay considers the implications of these imaginings. On the one hand, the modes of agency that Case’s songs invoke frequently entail a circumvention or suppression of specific political interests, making them susceptible to antifeminist and settler-colonialist appropriations; on the other hand, her work potentially offers a vision of the political that refuses to take human action as the inevitable starting point for its theories of power and domination, an increasingly urgent task in an age of ecological catastrophe, when the lives of earth’s most vulnerable gendered and racialized subjects are irreducibly enmeshed in precarious planetary networks of biodependencies that include the actions of microbes, tornadoes, and atoms alike. In Case’s most original compositions, a reductionist materialism attendant to the agency of the nonhuman complements rather than forecloses an older materialist tradition insistent on antagonism between conflicting interest groups as the motor engine of history and the social.

Abstract:

This article explores the normative problems of commodification of biomaterials in the process of development of genomics and genome medicine. It is demonstrated that in the era of advanced biocapitalism, when the relations between capital, knowledge and life become of particular importance, biomaterials undergo an economic turnover, are viewed as the objects of property and patent law, becoming the source of gaining profit. This results in the conflicts associated with the protection of rights of the individual, whose body is the source of biomaterials. In the context of consideration of the practices of commodification of biomaterials, the author reviews different modes of relations between the individual, science and society, with the characteristic to each of them articulation of the priority of personal or public good. The article provides the ethical analysis of incidents caused by the development of genetic technologies within the framework of the mode of confrontation between the individual and science, altruistic and compensatory modes, and mode of protection of civil rights. The conclusion is made that the developing processes of commodification require finding balance between the rights of the state and the interests of individuals, public good and personal values. The right to control own biomaterials and genetic information, voluntary and free transfer of biological materials, observance of biosafety and medical confidentiality – all these problems of the development of genomics require constant ethical monitoring in each specific case of using biomaterials.

Abstract:

Today the notion of the ‘subject’ in the first capitalist world is reserved only for the citizens (fully acknowledged) as such of the first capitalist neoliberal world. Therefore the ‘old’ political ‘subjects’ are seen as a form of an archaic subjectivity and delegated to the so-called third worlds’ capitalisms. The consequences are terminal regarding political agency. Or to reformulate this going back to the most significant shift in the historicization of capitalism, the shift from biocapitalism to necrocapitalism (the shift, break and simultaneity of biopolitics and necropolitics and as well biopower and necropower), we see a twofold mechanism at work. First, if necropolitics presents a new mode of governmentality for neoliberal global capitalism that is a decision over the administration of death (as being opposed to biopolitics as a control over life) then we must ask in which concrete, political, economic and social ideological situation the sovereign decision over death without impunity is normalized and accepted. Second, who are those that are ‘selected’ and targeted as the goal of this necro ‘sovereign’ decision? The answers will pull a paradoxical difference inside the notion of the subject and as well respond to why any demand regarding political subjectivities in the time of a neoliberal global capitalism seems a bad joke and something obsolete.Article received: June 5, 2017; Article accepted: June 16, 2017; Published online: October 15, 2017; Original scholarly paperHow to cite this article: Gržinić, Marina.

Abstract:

In the article the author describes the transformations provoked by the transition from politics and economics to biopolitics and bioeconomics. The author notes the impact of these changes on the development of modern scientific knowledge (commercialization of science, commodification of the results of scientific research, dehumanization of knowledge in general). One of the article points concerns the ambivalence of the consequences caused by modern trends in the production and use of scientific knowledge. The key contradictions are: the contradiction between the price and value of the human body and life of the individual as such; the contradictions related to the attitude to human and non-human entities. The possibilities of a positive response to new challenges in the development of science and the application of its results are in the field of humanization of scientific knowledge, which is interpreted as strengthening the axiological and ethical components of modern science, overcoming the technocratic and highly professional style of thinking of scientists and specialists. The article gives the assessment of difficulties in solving the problem of humanization of scientific knowledge from the standpoint of classical humanism. The author provides the overview of concepts that are based on criticism of traditional humanism and that let develop ethical answers to modern challenges in the field of humanization of knowledge and practice of its use in conditions of biocapitalism and growing progress in the field of biotechnological development. In particular, the principles of approaches methodologically proceeding from the following orientations, are analyzed: first, based on the denial or preservation of the key pathos of humanism and its principles; second, bringing out the “new” humanism from theistic or secular foundations. Theistic and non-theistic versions of “renewed” humanism, posthumanism and transhumanism are analyzed. The author describes essential difference between posthumanistic and transhumanistic orientation. The author draws a conclusion about the prospects of using these approaches to solve the problem of humanization of scientific knowledge.

El presente artículo analiza la emergencia del biocapitalismo a partir de un examen sobre la bioseguridad. Para ello, muestra cómo la bioseguridad es una actividad en la cual la producción de escenarios ficcionales es el principal mecanismo de inteligibilidad, y describe cómo operan los escenarios al transformar lo vivo en un flujo desterritorializado, global y móvil. En este sentido, constata que la bioseguridad genera una suspensión de la norma científica, con lo cual se reconfiguran las relaciones establecidas entre tecnociencia y paradigma político-jurídico.

Abstract:

Como fundamento da constituição de uma crítica política do presente, frente a estratégias biopolíticas do capital que dispõem a vida tanto como sujeito quanto objeto da política, necessário sempre atentar para suas metamorfoses e reconfigurações. Os dispositivos de poder neoliberal, em especial que se exercem sobre a população, a vida e os vivos e que penetram todas as esferas da existência, mobilizando-as inteiramente, ademais, transformam-nas em cativas do medo e da solidão, cenário frutífero para a proliferação de tecnologias de controle. O biocapitalismo, portanto, para além de uma dinâmica econômica, pontua a amálgama de técnicas soberanas, disciplinares e securitárias de controle, investindo para a totalidade da sociedade como forma de auto-exploração e de expansão imaterial da produção.

Abstract:

El propósito es abordar el fenómeno de la feminización del trabajo inscribiéndolo en el marco de las teorías que interpretan el paradigma productivo actual en términos de “biocapitalismo”. En un escenario en el que la acumulación de valor se nutre crecientemente de explotación de la totalidad de las facultades vitales del ser humano, se desdibujan las fronteras de la moderna “economía política del patriarcado”, por cuanto las actividades que antes atendían a la reproducción de la vida se vuelven productivas y el trabajo reproductivo se convierte en paradigma del trabajo en general.

Abstract:

Resumen: El artículo sitúa la vejez en la sociedad contemporánea, etapa de la vida traspasada por múltiples significados asignados por el biocapitalismo (NEGRI, 2014), que la estigmatizó con denominaciones despectivas. Entre las dominantes encontramos aquellas que representan al "viejo/a" como un "problema" "una carga insoportable" para las familias que, cada vez con mayor frecuencia, delegan su cuidado a instituciones especializadas, encontrándose muchas veces el anciano/a en un estado de abandono y desamparo. Desde esta perspectiva afirmamos que de todas las franjas etarias es sin duda la más desfavorecida, situación que se agrava al considerarse la perspectiva de género. La sociedad actual valoriza la juventud y la fuerza de trabajo socialmente productiva y a pesar de los avances insoslayables en este terreno, todavía sigue organizándose bajo una perspectiva patriarcal. Cabe preguntarnos ¿Qué pasa con las mujeres ancianas? ¿Son acaso doblemente desfavorecidas? ¿Pueden ser identificarse como doblemente dominadas? ¿Cuáles son las consecuencias subjetivas de su posición social? ¿Cómo esto se expresa en su corporeidad? El presente trabajo pretende tratar estas cuestiones y proponer el dispositivo Historia Vital del Trabajo (HVT) como una herramienta terapéutica que busca contribuir con la elaboración de un proyecto de vida en el que se recupere, en la subjetividad y en el cuerpo de la mujer anciana, una capacidad de trabajo creativo susceptible de ser valorizado socialmente. A tal efecto se reflexionará sobre la obra "la vejez" de Beauvoir (1970) en tanto se considera que la autora aborda la problemática con valor no solo teórico sino también testimonial.

Abstract:

El ‘embarazo profesional’ y la ‘gestante cyborg’ podrían parecer parte de una distopía propia de un futuro transhumanista, en el que no se vislumbra la gestación de la vida humana sin la intervención tecnológica o sin su integración en las lógicas mercantilistas. Sin embargo, ya son una realidad en algunos discursos académicos del ámbito queer y trans. En este ensayo realizo una reflexión feminista política y abolicionista en torno a la gestación subrogada y a la subsiguiente idea de ‘trabajo gestacional’. Poniendo en el centro al sujeto político mujer, parto de los argumentos de las pensadoras feministas críticas con esta práctica y me baso en las contribuciones etnográficas más destacadas sobre la temática. Analizo la deriva pro vientres de alquiler fijándome especialmente en los retos políticos que plantea con respecto a los derechos reproductivos de las mujeres. Examino el sexismo misógino que presentan neologismos como ‘gestante profesional’ y fórmulas similares. Compruebo que las propuestas favorables a la gestación subrogada tienen características clásicas de las prácticas androcéntricas, con una intención insistente por interponerse tecnológicamente en el proceso vital que es la gestación. Concluyo con la idea de que proletarizar y maquinizar la maternidad significa que se margina la experiencia humana para resignificarse desde el paradigma biocapitalista y desde el tecnopoder y ello conduce directamente a la deshumanización y a la explotación extrema de las mujeres.

Abstract:

This article shows how director Alejandro González Iñárritu conflates notions of the mad-genius trope, mental illness, and the superhero in his film Birdman, exalting the mentally debilitated identity that is popular today under biocapitalism. It also explores how the film's concept of "real art" as dependent on the grotesque exhibition of mental debility is shaped by (and reinforces) our current biocapitalist notion of a real human experience.

Abstract:

Abstract In the late 1970s, Pierre Bourdieu argued that the field of cultural production was distinguished along class lines by three different modes of cultural habitus: bourgeois disinterestness, petty-bourgeois allodoxia and working-class necessity. Since that era, the petty-bourgeois habitus has become the dominant predisposition. Adding Bourdieu’s sociology of culture to Peter Bürger’s historicized theory of the emergence of the avant garde as a critique of the “institution art,” a new “avant garde hypothesis” becomes possible for today’s age of post-Fordist biocapitalism. Based on Jacques Lacan’s Four Discourses, the contemporary situation is shown to privilege specific forms of cultural production, in particular an activist Discourse of the Hysteric and a technocratic Discourse of the University. Psychoanalysis reveals the limits of these tendencies while also underscoring the archaic aspects of an aestheticist Discourse of the Master and the transferential logics of Analyst avant gardes.
