ABSTRACT

This chapter explores how a politics of dialogical-becomings plateaus subjugated subjectivities and specifically representations, significations, and identifications by considering post-queer desire as a production of production. It refers to such productions as biovirtualities when read through Deleuzian affectivity and, more specifically, the virtualities and actualities of post-queer politics. The chapter produces a new line of flight that speaks to the virtual productivities of life itself by examining the politics around biovirtualities in an age of control societies. The relationship between knowledge economics and biotechnological innovations illustrates the new ways in which life itself is being produced through the vast speed of contemporary politics. Biotechnological innovations and knowledge economics are productions in the realm of the actual/virtual. Biotechnologies are very much a part of these social and political investments that produce biovirtualities through innovative research. Bio-informatic capitalism extends well beyond the individualizing and subjugating practices of disciplinary societies.
