Abstract

This article deals with a critical examination of the philosophical underpinnings in regard to the development of technology in general, and biotechnology in particular. The text also focuses on the political and economic spectrum reflecting the socio-political consequences of the biotech revolution, and in that context also looks into the connections between the organization of biopolitics and biopower, and circumstances relative to the arts, sciences and social struggles, presenting biotech culture through a wide array of experiences and influences. This text looks at how biotechnology is used for biopolitical purposes, in the sense of a political spectrum that reflects positions towards the social, economic and cultural consequences of the biotech revolution.
