China has experienced a tremendous turn-around over the past three
decades from the ethos of sacrificing life to the emergent appeal
for valuing life. This book takes an interdisciplinary look at
China during these decades of transformation through the defining
theme of governance of life. With an emphasis on how to achieve an
adequate life, the contributors integrate a whole range of
life-related domains including: the death of Sun Zhigang, the peril
caused by rising tobacco consumption, the emerging suicide
intervention, the turning points in the fight against AIDS, the
intensely evolving birth policy, the emerging biological
citizenship, and so on. In doing so, they explore how biological
life has been governed differently to enhance the wellbeing of the
population instead of promoting ideological goals. This change,
dubbed "the deepening in governmentality," is one of the most
important driving forces for China's rise, and will have huge
bearings on how the Chinese will achieve an adequate life in the
21st century. This book presents works by a number of
internationally known scholars and will be of interest to students
and scholars of anthropology, sociology, political science,
history, Chinese philosophy, law, and public health.
