Lively Capital is an urgent and important collection of essays
addressing the reconfigured relations between the life sciences and
the market. Exploring the ground where social and cultural
anthropology intersect with science and technology studies,
prominent scholars investigate the relationship of biotechnology to
ethics, governance, and markets, as well as the new legal, social,
cultural, and institutional mechanisms emerging to regulate
biotechnology. The contributors examine genomics, pharmaceutical
marketing, intellectual property, environmental science, clinical
trials, patient advocacy, and other such matters as they are
playing out in North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Lively Capital is not only about the commercialization of the life
sciences, but their institutional histories, epistemic formations,
and systems of valuation. It is also about the lively affects—the
emotions and desires—involved when technologies and research
impinge on experiences of embodiment, kinship, identity,
disability, citizenship, accumulation, and dispossession. At stake
in the commodification of the life sciences are opportunities to
intervene in and adjudicate matters of health, life, and
death.Contributors. Timothy Choy, Joseph Dumit, Michael M. J.
Fischer, Kim Fortun, Mike Fortun, Donna Haraway, Sheila Jasanoff,
Wen-Hua Kuo, Andrew Lakoff, Kristin Peterson, Chloe Silverman, Elta
Smith, Kaushik Sunder Rajan, Travis J. Tanner
