Biopolitical Disaster employs a grounded analysis of the production
and lived-experience of biopolitical life in order to illustrate
how disaster production and response are intimately interconnected.
The book is organized into four parts, each revealing how
socio-environmental consequences of instrumentalist
environmentalities produce disastrous settings and political
experiences that are evident in our contemporary world. Beginning
with "Commodifying crisis," the volume focuses on the inherent
production of disaster that is bound to the crisis tendency of
capitalism. The second part, "Governmentalities of disaster,"
addresses material and discursive questions of governance, the role
of the state, as well as questions of democracy. This part explores
the linkage between problematic environmental rationalities and
policies. Third, the volume considers how and where the
(de)valuation of life itself takes shape within the theme of
"Affected bodies," and investigates the corporeal impacts of
disastrous biopolitics. The final part, "Environmental aesthetics
and resistance," fuses concepts from affect theory, feminist
studies, post-positivism, and contemporary political theory to
identify sites and practices of political resistance to biopower.
Biopolitical Disaster will be of great interest to postgraduates,
researchers, and academic scholars working in Political ecology;
Geopolitics; Feminist critique; Intersectionality; Environmental
politics; Science and technology studies; Disaster studies;
Political theory; Indigenous studies; Aesthetics; and Resistance.
