Deleuzian capitalism

Frédéric Vandenberghe

University Institute of Postgraduate Studies (IUPERJ), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and University for Humanist Studies, Utrecht, The Netherlands

Contemporary capitalism is in effect, if not in intent, Deleuzian. As a network of networks, it is rhizomatic, flexible, chaosmotic, evolving, expanding. In the negativist spirit that characterizes the work of the Frankfurt School, this article shows via an analysis of the goverment of the self, the commodification of culture and the modification of nature, how contemporary capitalism does colonize not only the life-world but also life itself.

Key Words: biotechnology • capitalism • Gilles Deleuze • governmentality • immaterial labour
