This collection provides English readers with a critical update on
current debates on biopolitics in and around Italian thought. More
than a decade after the publication of seminal books such as
Agamben's Homo Sacer and Hardt and Negri's Empire, the names of,
among others, Roberto Esposito, Paolo Virno, Christian Marazzi, and
Andrea Fumagalli have recently been brought to the attention of
Anglophone scholars and political activists. Several authors have
rightly emphasised the evanescent character of biopolitics, and the
difficulty in providing a definition of it that could embrace all
the conflicting theories of its most celebrated critics and
supporters. The present collection is structured around the basic
contention that bio-economy, human nature, and Christianity are the
three visible contemporary manifestations of the theoretical
object/problem of biopolitics in, respectively, Italian
post-workerist economics, post-Marxist philosophical anthropology,
and post-structuralist ontology. This book was originally published
as a special issue of Angelaki.
