Epilogue: Emergent (re-)assemblings of biological economies

Abstract

This paper presents an epilogue to the Special Issue. The paper examines the interplay among ontology, epistemology, methodology, politics and geography by elaborating on Esbjörn-Hargen's framework of the 'who', 'what' and 'how' of knowledge making. It uses this discussion to relate the different papers in the Special Issue, traces the engagement of the authors with concepts of assemblage and considers the further work to which the concept of assemblage might be put by exploring potential new research directions emerging from the Biological Economies research project.
