Forged at the intersection of intense interest in the pertinence
and uses of biopolitics and biopower, this volume analyzes
theoretical and practical paradigms for understanding and
challenging the socioeconomic determinations of life and death in
contemporary capitalism. Its contributors offer a series of
trenchant interdisciplinary critiques, each one taking on both the
specific dimensions of biopolitics and the deeper genealogies of
cultural logic and structure that crucially inform its impress. New
ways to think about biopolitics as an explanatory model are
offered, and the subject of bios (life, ways of life) itself is
taken into innovative theoretical possibilities. On the one hand,
biopolitics is addressed in terms of its contributions to forms and
divisions of knowledge; on the other, its capacity for
reformulation is assessed before the most pressing concerns of
contemporary living. It is a must read for anyone concerned with
the study of bios in its theoretical profusions.
