Abstract

Starting with the apparatus of DNA testing that produces and reifies ethnoracial differences and identities, this article articulates two layers of analysis. The larger implications of this analysis are to be understood in the articulation between these two layers. The first layer regards the neocolonial construction of an ethnosubject anchored in the racialization of DNA. This racialization consists of two steps. First, race is naturalized and biologized anew through the technological procedure of DNA decoding and data comparison. Second, race is reculturalized through its substitution with ethnicity. This step enables the neutralization of the politically antiliberal connotations of the rebiologization of race. The second layer of analysis connects this rebiologization of race to neocolonial processes of value extraction and biopolitical techniques of surveillance. The implications of these developments are attended to by interrogating the directions taken by DNA datafication in terms of both surveying and surveilling. At center stage is the question of the modulation of the individual's access—to countries and services—enabled by their datafication. Thus, the question of access is the question of how boundaries are drawn, who draws them, and how porous they are depending on the characteristics of the individual's biological data.
“一个独一无二的你”
从产生和具体化种族差异和身份的DNA测试装置开始,本文阐明了两层分析。这一分析的更大含义将在这两层之间的衔接中得到理解。第一层是关于以DNA种族化为基础的民族主体的新殖民主义建构。这种种族化包括两个步骤。首先,通过DNA解码和数据比对的技术程序,使种族重新归化和生物化。其次,种族通过其与民族的替代而被重新文化化。这一步骤能够消除种族再生在政治上的反自由主义内涵。第二层分析将这种种族的重新生物化与价值提取的新殖民过程和监视的生物政治技术联系起来。这些发展的影响是通过询问DNA数据化在调查和监测方面所采取的方向来解决的。中心问题是个人访问国家和服务的方式的调整,这些国家和服务是由数据化实现的。因此,访问的问题是如何划定界限的问题,谁划定界限的问题,以及根据个人生物数据的特征,这些界限有多多孔的问题。
