Sažetak
Today, we again need to anticipate the future and reinvent our theories and practices in and for the biodigital context. Under pandemic conditions, our work has been transformed by an increasing sense of global oneness and solidarity (Mañero, 2020 ; Suoranta, 2020), some environmental benefits such as a decrease in carbon emissions (Lewis, 2020), and also many losses from most obviously human lives, to the sorrows of living in a time of ‘no touch’ (Sapon- Shevin & SooHoo, 2020). Political responses to the pandemic vary from balanced approaches based on solidarity (Kerres, 2020) to the downright craziness of the Trump administration (McLaren, 2020), and we now see emerging initiatives such as the Global New Green Deal that may well herald a new green age that at last takes sustainability seriously. Yet in our age of bioinformational capitalism (Peters, 2012), all these changes and initiatives will be worthless without a solid material base. It is with this conclusion, that we urgently need to develop new understandings of bioeconomy fit for our biodigital moment in history.
