Description
Biopower: Foucault and Beyond
This collection brings together leading scholars to explore the concept of biopower, a notion that has had a significant impact on recent theory. Vernon W. Cisney and Nicolae Morar situate biopower as a radical alternative to traditional conceptions of power, examining its relevance in contemporary debates around life, the body, and the subject.
The contributors examine topics such as healthcare rights, immigration laws, HIV prevention discourse, genomics medicine, and others, highlighting the lasting significance of biopower in shaping our understanding of these issues.
