Description

Biopolitics: A Reader brings together key texts that have shaped our understanding of politics and life. At its core is the concept of biopolitics, which examines the relationship between power, politics, and the human body. This collection of essays explores how this idea has evolved over time, from Michel Foucault's influential work on "Right of Death and Power over Life" to critiques and refinements by prominent thinkers such as Hannah Arendt, Gilles Deleuze, and Slavoj Žižek. By focusing on the concept itself, rather than specific events or phenomena, this Reader provides a framework for assessing the central problematics of modern political thought. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, Biopolitics: A Reader offers a comprehensive understanding of this crucial area of study.
