Manage episode 394127671 series 3547798
Erica Borg and Amedeo Policante provide a marxist analysis of gene editing technology, CRISPR, and genetic engineering as they relate to eugenics, capital accumulation and ecology.
Erica Borg is a geographer and political ecologist based at King's College, London. Their research focuses on the relations between capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy and ecological crisis.
Amedeo Policante is a Researcher at the Nova University of Lisbon. His writings interrogate the nexus of extraction, exploitation and expropriation that fuels the contemporary world market. He is the author of two books: The Pirate Myth and The New Mercenaries.
Together they are the authors of Mutant Ecologies: Manufacturing Life in the Age of Genomic Capital, which published with Pluto Books later last year.
