The series brought together scholars from the fields of social anthropology, sociology, as well as the history of science, technology and medicine; scholars who are seriously engaged in understanding some of the changes in the material landscapes of capitalism.

Technology & Capitalism began as a seminar series organised by Jaume Sastre-Juan and Eóin Phillips as part of the Catalan Society for the History of Science and Technology.

It continues as a space to think about the relations between technological systems and practice and the materiality of political economy.

The series dealt with the materiality of financial trading, the role of self-tracking as a data-driven way of producing subjectivities, the history of biometric technologies, and the relations between neuroscience and value production in biocapitalism.

In so doing, the series aimed to understand the relation of capitalism to technology in its deepest sense: the relationship between the construction of society and the self through the political, imperial and economic context in which it has developed.
