After more than a century of genocides and in the midst of a global
pandemic, this book focuses on the critique of biopolitics (the
government of life through individuals and the general population)
and the counterdevelopment of biopoetics (an aesthetics of life
elaborating a self as a practice of freedom) realized in texts by
Virginia Woolf, Michel Foucault, and Michael Ondaatje. Their world
fiction produces transhistorical, transnational experiences offered
to the reader for collective responsibility in these critical
times. Their books function as heterotopias: spaces and processes
that recall and confront regimes of recognized truths to dismantle
fixed identities and actualize possibilities for becoming other.
Higgins and Leps define and explore a slant, biopoetic perspective
that is feminist, materialist, anti-racist, and anti-war.
