Biopolitical Governance : Race, Gender and Economy, Hardback Book

Biopolitical Governance : Race, Gender and Economy Hardback

Edited by Hannah Richter

Part of the Global Political Economies of Gender and Sexuality series

Hardback

Description

For years critical theorists and Foucauldian biopolitical theorists have argued against the Aristotelian idea that life and politics inhabit two separate domains.

In the context of receding social security systems and increasing economic inequality, within contemporary liberal democracies, life is necessarily political. This collection brings together contributions from both established scholars and researchers working at the forefront of biopolitical theory, gendered and sexualised governance and the politics of race and migration, to better understand the central lines along which the body of the governed is produced, controlled or excluded.
