Biotheory: Life and Death under Capitalism de Jeffrey R. Di Leo

Biotheory: Life and Death under Capitalism: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature

Editat de Jeffrey R. Di Leo, Peter Hitchcock
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 ian 2020
Forged at the intersection of intense interest in the pertinence and uses of biopolitics and biopower, this volume analyzes theoretical and practical paradigms for understanding and challenging the socioeconomic determinations of life and death in contemporary capitalism. Its contributors offer a series of trenchant interdisciplinary critiques, each one taking on both the specific dimensions of biopolitics and the deeper genealogies of cultural logic and structure that crucially inform its impress. New ways to think about biopolitics as an explanatory model are offered, and the subject of bios (life, ways of life) itself is taken into innovative theoretical possibilities. On the one hand, biopolitics is addressed in terms of its contributions to forms and divisions of knowledge; on the other, its capacity for reformulation is assessed before the most pressing concerns of contemporary living. It is a must read for anyone concerned with the study of bios in its theoretical profusions.

Recenzii

"This is an essential collection of essays, both because the concept of biopolitics is so crucial for understanding the twenty-first century, and because the very sense of the biopolitical is as messy and fractured as our present.　Ranging across a rich terrain of problems — how we might think about life in an era of climate chaos, the problem of theory’s abstraction in an age that only wants life, and the problem of life in a political milieu where so many lives do not matter — these essays mark out a series of lucid and original paths for the future.　This is a coherent and diverse collection of essays that will be of value to anyone working in the humanities and social sciences." — Claire Colebrook, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English, Penn State University, USA
"Di Leo and Hitchcock’s Biotheory proves that theory and critique are not only alive and well but also kicking. Not afraid of taking on debates and tensions on and between established theorists of biopolitics, nor of testing these against problems and theories that have emerged more recently, they and their contributors speak also to the vibrant field of inquiries "beyond" biopolitics." — Frida Beckman, Professor of Comparative Literature, Stockholm University, Sweden
"In Biotheory: Life and Death Under Capitalism, Di Leo and Hitchcock have assembled a striking collection of readings whose clear intent is to disrupt a number of the principle　assumptions many of us have been working under for years when reflecting on biopolitics. Biotheory asks us to push beyond our previous understanding of biopolitics and to　let go of certainty around words like life, sovereignty, and politics. This is by no means easy, but the volume, framed by a wonderfully trenchant introduction, provides a　road map for thinking biopolitics anew, creatively and radically." — Timothy　C. Campbell, Professor of Italian Studies, Cornell　University, USA
