Abstract

Industrial biosociality encapsulates the contextualized biosocial nature of multispecies relations that have been transformed by the rapid acceleration of the life process in the Anthropocene. Through this term, we examine how new forms of intimacy and ever more complex dimensions of othering and alienation proliferate in spaces dominated by extractive mechanisms of capitalist accumulation and profit production produces.

This article studies how farm workers manage and care for industrial pigs by attuning to the everyday encounters within a conventional pig farm. By attuning to the skilful multisensory repertoire of farm owners and workers, we detail how multisensory practices are mobilized and refined in the service of capitalist accumulation. Thus, this article challenges assumptions that multisensory knowledges typically defy logics of commodification and objectification. Instead, we detail how multisensory practices operate to sustain and reinforce logics of othering and alienation.
