Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>Sara Lafuente (IPP-CSIC), Tess Doezema (Arizona State University) and
<br>myself (Vincenzo Pavone, IPP-CSIC) are organising a panel on the
<br>Bioeconomies at the 4S Conference, August 29th-September 1st 2018, in
<br>Sidney.
<br>
<br>Here is a description of the Panel:
<br>
<br>Rather than a politically innocent designation of a set of economic (and/or
<br>scientific) activities, the bioeconomy has been introduced as a unique
<br>solution to urgent problems, reshaping democratic and scientific
<br>institutions, expanding the role and rights of private capital, and
<br>modifying the meanings of citizenship. Contributing to the debate opened by
<br>the recent edited volume Bioeconomies: Life, Technology, and Capital in the
<br>21st Century (Pavone and Goven, 2017), we welcome empirical and conceptual
<br>contributions that examine the ways in which bioeconomy projects cross
<br>borders, engage with conventional ideas of sovereignty, articulate
<br>particular visions of globalism, and engage with one or more of the
<br>following questions:
<br>- What is the bioeconomy project doing to, as well as with, science? How
<br>are parallel changes being rendered differently in different places?
<br>- How is value conceptualized, generated, appropriated, and distributed in
<br>various bioeconomies?
<br>- How do particular bioeconomies construct and mobilize—or, contrarily,
<br>disentangle and deny—relations between or among, e.g.: scientists,
<br>government, and capital; scientists and their research subjects; family
<br>members; members of political communities; and humans and other beings?
<br>What can we learn from the conflicts that underpin and shape bioeconomy
<br>initiatives?
<br>- How do particular bioeconomies depend upon, mobilize and/or reinforce
<br>existing inequalities? How are transferences of biological material and
<br>capacities being settled? How might we engage in a research practice of
<br>constructive resistance with those who are, in effect, targets of the
<br>bioeconomy?
<br>
