Lively Capital: Biotechnologies, Ethics and Governance in Global Markets
November 5-7, 2004
University of California at Irvine, SSPB 1208
http://www.socsci.uci.edu/~livelycapital
This workshop will investigate how new legal, social, cultural and
institutional mechanisms are regulating the global emergence of
biotechnologies. "Lively Capital" refers to the ways in which the life
sciences are literally incorporated into market regimes, as well as to
the lively affects [the emotions and desires] at play when technologies
and research impinge upon experiences of embodiment, kinship, identity,
disability or citizenship.
Papers presented by: Nadia Abu el-Haj, Geoffrey Bowker, Lawrence Cohen,
Rosemary Coombe, Richard Doyle, Joseph Dumit, Michael M.J. Fischer, Kim
Fortun, Michael Fortun, Donna Haraway, Cori Hayden, Sheila Jasanoff,
Wen-Hua Kuo, Andrew Lakoff, Kristin Peterson and Chloe Silverman.
Discussants include: Bogi Anderssen, Tom Boellstorff, Michael Burton,
Teresa Caldeira, Leo Chavez, Simon Cole, Susan Greenhalgh, Karen
Leonard, Shellie Masri, Bill Maurer, Michael Montoya, and Mei Zhan, all
of UCI; Marianne de Laet, Harvey Mudd College, Sharon Traweek, UCLA,
and Tim Choy, OSU.
