This book articulates a contemporary, globalized world as one in
which radical disparities in distribution of wealth are being
reproduced as the basis for depoliticized social, institutional,
and ideological discourses. At its center is a reorientation of
global capitalism from the management of life towards making a
surplus value from death. This change is presented as a
reorientation of biopolitics (bio meaning life) to necropolitics
(necro meaning death). Therefore in the book we work with processes
of change, of a historicization of biopolitics and its turn into
necropolitics that leads to a theoretical trajectory from M.
Foucault to A. Mbembe and beyond. This book interprets the
sustained perception of existence of dichotomy between these
provisional extremes as a trademark of apolitical and/or
post-political logics on which contemporary institutional,
political, and social discourses tend to be structured upon. More,
contrary to the majority of approaches that insists on a profound
dichotomy between democracy and totalitarianism, between poverty
and free market, and between democracy and capitalism, this book
does not interpret these relations as dichotomous, but as mutually
fulfilling. The book elaborates, in the context of articulation of
these logics, contemporary, imperial racism (racialization) as an
ideology of capitalism and states that the First World s monopoly
on definition of modernity has its basis in contemporary
reorganization of colonialism. In the book, the authors trace a
forensic methodology of global capitalism with which life, art,
culture, economy, and the political are becoming part of a detailed
system of scrutiny presented and framed in relation to criminal or
civil law. Criminalization of each and every segment of our life is
working hand in hand with a depoliticization of social conflicts
and pacification of the relation between those who rules and those
who are ruled. The outcome is a differentiation of every single
concept that must from now bear the adjectives of the
necropolitical or forensic; therefore we can talk about forensic
images, art, projects, and necropolitical life, democracy,
citizenship. This will change radically the perspectives of an
emancipative project of politics (if it is any possible to be named
as such) for the future."
