In warfare, civil unrest, and political protest, chemicals have
served as means of coercion, suppression, and manipulation. This
book examines how chemical agents have been justified, utilised and
resisted as means of control. Through attending to how, when, and
for whom bodies become rendered as sites of intervention, Chemical
Bodies demonstrates the inter-relations between geopolitical
transformations and the technological, spatial and social
components of local events. The chapters draw out some of the
insidious ways in which chemical technologies are damaging, and
re-open discussion regarding their justification, role and
regulation. In doing so the contributors illustrate how certain
instances of force gain prominence (or fade into obscurity), how
some individuals speak and others get spoken for, how definitions
of what counts as 'success' and 'failure' are advanced, and how the
rights and wrongs of violence are contested.
