Abstract

The main argument of this paper is that the recent productions about digital and technological information at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century combined with the development in molecular biology created a new economy and politics of signs, as well as new approaches for producing subjects and modes of government. There is in this process the configuration of a new biopolitics where human beings have been produced being captured by these languages, promoting the storage and projection of life through algorithms and biomolecular language. In these modes of production of subjectivity, the 'Self' is transformed into a 'profile', built as an object of governmentality. In view of this, we consider that such processes produce ontological and government possibilities based on the present modes of producing information about society and individuals, guided by digital and biomolecular information in practices of algorithmization of life within contemporary capitalism.
