As newer forms of intellectual propertyseeds, germplasm, genetic
resources, plant varietiesmaterialize through advancements in
biotechnology, a variety of entitlements, claims, and imaginations
of citizenship are bred, mimicking the hybrid culture of genetic
configurations. This book analyses the theoretical and
philosophical frames of new (biotic) property, and assesses how its
altered metaphysics inscribes itself in the politics of genetic
resources. It probes how rights get framed within and by law, in
the diverse yet closely interrelated aspects of social, cultural,
and biological life. In particular, the book focuses on biocultural
entitlements of farming and indigenous communitiespeople who are at
a distance from the global networks of trade, politics, science,
and technology. It explores the terms on which the interests of
these indigenous communities are included and institutionalized as
well as the degrees of exclusion and stratification that accompany
them. It attempts to uncover the cunning or duplicitous nature of
these rightsthe chasm between their intended benefits and their
actual outcomes.
