Lively Capital

Biotechnology has changed the life sciences as more and more research is funded around commercial opportunities, rather than pure-science goals. This can be seen in health and pharmaceutical research, genomics, and the environment. This collection of anthropology of science essays explores the new forms of capital, markets, ethical, legal, and intellectual property concerns associated with these new forms of research. The collection features many of the scholars central to the Experimental Futures series project, including series editors Dumit and Fischer, guiding inspiration Donna Haraway, and recent Cultural Anthropologyeditors Kim and Mike Fortun.
