Specificatii
Focusing on the period between the 1970s and the present, Life as
Surplus is a pointed and important study of the relationship
between politics, economics, science, and cultural values in the
United States today. Melinda Cooper demonstrates that the history
of biotechnology cannot be understood without taking into account
the simultaneous rise of neoliberalism as a political force and an
economic policy. From the development of recombinant DNA technology
in the 1970s to the second Bush administration's policies on stem
cell research, Cooper connects the utopian polemic of free-market
capitalism with growing internal contradictions of the
commercialized life sciences.The biotech revolution relocated
economic production at the genetic, microbial, and cellular level.
Taking as her point of departure the assumption that life has been
drawn into the circuits of value creation, Cooper underscores the
relations between scientific, economic, political, and social
practices. In penetrating analyses of Reagan-era science policy,
the militarization of the life sciences, HIV politics,
pharmaceutical imperialism, tissue engineering, stem cell science,
and the pro-life movement, the author examines the speculative
impulses that have animated the growth of the bioeconomy.At the
very core of the new post-industrial economy is the transformation
of biological life into surplus value. Life as Surplus offers a
clear assessment of both the transformative, therapeutic dimensions
of the contemporary life sciences and the violence, obligation, and
debt servitude crystallizing around the emerging bioeconomy.
