“'But is it Labor?': Neural Data and Value Production in Biocapitalism", by DANIELLE CARR (Columbia University). ABSTRACT: Many scholars have proposed that new permutations of capitalism are organizing around biological life itself as a site to extract value. These accounts tend to argue that in “biocapitalism,” activities that would normally be called “reproduction”—which can mean either the biological life of the body or the activities of maintaining social life, depending on how you define it—has been reframed as itself productive labor. This talk considers some of these claims about “biocapitalism” by thinking through the development of brain implants for affective disorder. Currently, brain implants are being developed to both treat mood disorder in humans and simultaneously collect data that can be coupled to other behavioral information to predict and engineer mood states. The technology has not only been the recipient of state and military funding historically, but currently receives vast amounts of private investment from data monopolists like Google and Facebook. This talk uses four years of ethnographic work in experimental neural engineering labs to discuss the forms of value production in biocapitalism. What does it mean to propose that life itself has become labor? And what does it do for a contemporary critique of capitalism to think through emerging forms of value production through the lens of labor?
