Managing identity through biometric technology has become a routine
and ubiquitous practice in recent years. From border control and
asylum regulation to the management of social services and medical
records, various fields are increasingly deploying biometric
systems as a means of identity verification and authentication. The
scope and nature of these systems are raising a host of concerns
regarding the intensification of surveillance practices and the
reduction of identity to a series of bio-data and algorithms.By
analysing biometric systems as a biopolitical practice within the
domain of borders, immigration and citizenship management, this
book interrogates what is at stake in the merging of the body and
technology for security and governance purposes. It draws on a
number of critical theories, philosophies and empirical examples,
offering a multi-level and timely analysis of the socio-political
and ethical implications of biometric identity systems.
