We are delighted to present the second part of our double issue of MediaTropes devoted to the theme of bioconvergence.

Together, the two issues1 gather eleven contributions that variously address bioconvergence in two interlinked respects: on the one hand, as a phenomenon that has progressively and pervasively infiltrated the social field across a multitude of arenas; and, at the same time, as a critical theoretical frame—that is, as a means to describe and to interpret the convergence of media, technologies, and bodies across such representative sites as biomedicine, genomics, contemporary warfare, securitization, economics, informatics, entertainment, law, gender, and race.
