Abstract
MAUREIRA, Marco; TIRADO, Francisco; BALERIOLA, Enrique and TORREJON, Pedro. Biocapitalism and suspension of the standard. Nómadas [online]. 2015, n.43, pp.39-55. ISSN 0121-7550.
This article analyzes the emergence of biocapitalism from an examination of biosafety. Thus, this text demonstrates how biosafety is a mechanism for which the production of fictional scenarios is the main means of intelligibility, and describes how those scenarios operate to transform what is living into a deterritorialized, global and fluid stream. In this regard, it affirms that biosafety generates a suspension of the scientific standard, which reconfigures the relationships between both the techno-science and political-legal paradigms.
Keywords : biocapitalism; scenario; state of emergency; epidemiology.
